According to Aston Martin (linked above), the Virage was derived from the chassis of the Lagonda, featuring a fresh and contemporary styling when compared to the previous V8 series. Even when peeling back the curtain to find outside its hand-beaten, aluminum bodywork, the Virage is largely a parts-bin car as a result of Aston Martin’s merger with Ford Motor Company in 1987, Auto Evolution states.
An amalgam of previously built Aston Martin parts and components sourced from multiple carmakers, Auto Evolution went on to explain that the Virage would feature a version of the Tadek V8 engine originally built in 1969 for the DBS, a ZF Friedrichshafen transmission, the headlights of an Audi 200, and taillights sourced from the VW Scirocco.
The result, however, was one of the most exclusive, beautifully-designed Aston Martins ever produced. Capable of 330 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, the bulky Virage was still able to reach a top speed of 145 MPH, according to Hemmings.
