Vehicle Description

The V8 Vantage was quite a different beast from the standard V8
Saloon Coupe. Besides its hidden modifications and engine tweaks,
the V8 Vantage featured twin Cibie H4 Driving Lamps within the
blanked off radiator grille (cooling air for the radiator being
drawn in beneath the bumper), a deep front air dam and boot lid
spoiler at the rear. All of these aerodynamic additions were
essential for a car with 170 mph+ potential. The V8 Vantage
features a large sealed bonnet bulge to cover the down draught
Weber 48 IDF carburetors. Other mechanical changes from the
standard engine included larger valves, revised camshafts and a
higher compression ratio, all helping to achieve 380 bhp. The first
group of 16 cars have two distinct and unique features, the bonnet
bulge opening is sealed with bolt-on cover and the rear spoiler was
added to the car after the body was built, these first 16 are known
as Bolted-On Flip Tail V8 Vantages.
