Between March 1977 and December 1989, the V8 Vantage was the only British member of the Supercar club. It may have weighed as much as a house (about 1800 kg actually) but could see off the skimpy Ferrari 512BB and Testarossa plus the Lamborghini Countach with aplomb and carry an extra two passengers.
Since the Vantage’s introduction in 1977 customers had requested an open version. Aston officially refused to build such a car due to concerns with safety at high speeds. Vantage state of tune was only fitted by the factory to the V8 Vantage coupe until 1986 when the Vantage Volante was officially released. Before this time no officially certified Volantes with Vantage engines left the factory with full type approval.
It was to be 1986 before the Vantage Volante came to fruition. Its shape was inspired by V8COR15363, a car built for the Brunei Royal family. After much discussion between engineering and marketing, the final shape was derived. No wind tunnel testing was involved so engineering made calculations and added 15% for an extra safety margin. Hence the overly be-spoilered and fendered Vantage Volante was born. It used the same mechanicals as the V8 Vantage X Pack and benefited from lessons learnt in Zagato development. By the time production ceased, only 167 Vantage Volantes were built of which 109 cars were built to full X-Pack specification, the first in 1986, the last in 1989, beginning at chassis number V8CHR15506 and ending at V8VKL15847.
