Aston Martin, a brand most know all so well for their sleek timeless styling and focus on luxury grand touring. A brand that may seem reserved on the outside does actually have a wild side to it. In the 1990’s when Aston Martin was recently acquired by Ford, lots of craziness ensued.
The introduction of the Aston Martin Vantage V550 and V600 Le Mans brought about a twin supercharged era of sheer craziness for Aston Martin. These special V550 and V600 Vantages are some of the rarest and most misunderstood vehicles that Aston Martin has ever produced in its storied history. Watch the whole video to learn all there is to know about the rare and incredibly rare Aston Martin Vantage V550 and V600 Le Mans.

The V 600 was available on the Vantage a few years before the Le Mas version came out. The Standard Vantage came in V550 but you could also order it from the factory in V600 form or Send ur V550 back to Aston Martin Works for upgrade power to V600 & the upgraded to the V600 Suspension package. The Le Mas could be ordered in V550 or V600, but all Le Mas had the V600 suspension upgrade & Dynmag rims included.

With offshore powerboats requiring BBC to produce a certain amount of power constantly over hours. Not for 10sec.. So many engine builders first used BBC like 510,545, 572, 589, 632. To make 1200,1300,1500 HP continuously motors began to get 2 2-3 liter whipples on 1 engine. Eventually Mercury hopped on board and took there 9liter block and trew 2 whipples on top For there 1075 and 1200 racing motors. Using there 7liter motor for 850 with twin blowers. Then the 700, 662, 600. All used single blowers. Under 600, 525 was NA… Then they released there 9liter DOHC twin turbo motor in 1350, then 1650, 1550, and 1100 But if you’ve got the 40k laying around. You need the merc SB4 A 7liter DOHC REV HAPPY BBC crate motor!! And for the marine world they have a NA 9liter DOHC offering 860 NA power on tap!

As usual, a gread video. Having lived a long time un the UK, I'll give you guys a golden nugget perspective from old Aston owners (not mine personally sadly 😁). The difference with Aston to other British luxury or sports brands (From Bentley and Jensen Interceptor to TVR, Marcos etc.) : Astons must have a brutish side. Old brit chassis with a big lump to overwhelmed it in demand. Best example would the old early 80's Vantage V8, the old james pond DBS, Vanquish etc. Sort of inspired by classic American Muscle me thinks, but they'd never admit it😅

Believe me, there is no need for horsepower increase. There is no traction control. Not the best sounding exhaust. I wouldn't change it though : there were only 239 V550 + 40 Le Mans produced. Better keep it stock.

The Virage was not a bad car considering its chassis was made up of hand welded square tubing , proberably one of the last , and to handle 600hp aswell as run 199mph , it was a good chassis too . The DB7 was always a tarted up Jag XJS and Aston admits it , their first proper car in decades was the DB9 , that you still dont sneeze at today either !

The Vantage was a much better looking car, in my eyes, than the DB7 was. The DB7 has that very typical for the 90’s look of rounded, swoopy body lines that everything from cheap, throw away entry level cars like the Ford Escort to the best of the super cars had. It didn’t stick out from the masses or take any risk. The Vantage, especially the updated models of the mid to late 90’s, was very muscular looking, a way cooler looking car.

On release, the Virage was a dog and a pretty unattractive one at that. I love that Aston decided that they just had to just go absolutely mental on it. My dream car is still a 1970s V8 Vantage but yeah I'd take one of these if I was given it.

Hellcat never comes close to this AM. Hellcat is stupid shit pretending to be badass. Vantage 550/600/600 Le Mans was the real deal. It was badass, it was elegant, it was nice luxurious, and had mindboggling power. Fun part is that there are very few 550, most owners went for the 50 HP upgrade, even at ridiculous price.

A 1990s Aston of any kind? o_O I literally can not imagine a worse car. It will be a complete piece of garbage: built by drunken idiots instead of robots. Half the screws and bolts won't be done up tightly, let alone torqued. The electrics are so bad it'll be a miracle if the car even starts with a whole fully charged battery. Which it won't have, because it will be flat all the time. Because electricity leaks out of this car like a heater is constantly running inside it. While Mercedes-Benz were busy making cars out of solid blocks of granite, Astons were being carved from a gigantic pile of poop. :P
