The greatest V8-engined cars ever made
Aston Martin’s 5.3-litre V8 engine started life in the DBS in 1968, linking this new V8 era with the previous models that used a straight-six engine. It started life with 315bhp, enough to see the DBS from 0-60mph in 6.0 seconds, but it soon grew to 438bhp in the V8 Vantage that boasted a 170mph top speed. Aston built around 4500 cars with this V8 engine, including the Bulldog concept hypercar with a mid-mounted V8.

The little car was exceptionally popular, and its four-cylinder engine (usually though not always measuring 747cc) was both economical in its standard form and capable of being tuned to produce remarkable amounts of power, especially when supercharged. If it had a more evocative name than M10, this engine might be much better known than it is.
