The Aston Martin Virage is a sports car from the British car manufacturer Aston Martin , of which around 1000 vehicles were produced from February 2011 to August 2012.
Vehicle characteristics
The Virage was presented at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show . In the model range, the Virage was marketed between the comfort-oriented DB9 and the sporty DBS . It was offered as a coupé and a convertible Volante .
The handcrafted V12 light metal gasoline engine installed behind the front axle draws a maximum output of 365 kW (497 hp) at 6500 rpm from a displacement of 5.9 liters. The maximum torque is given as 570 Nm at 5750 rpm. The 6-speed automatic transmission is located together with the differential on the rear axle ( transaxle arrangement ) and is connected to the engine by a drive shaft made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic in an aluminum housing. A locking differential is part of the standard equipment. The Virage also has rack and pinion power steering.
The body of the Virage is largely made of aluminum. Magnesium alloys are also used.
The front and rear wheels are suspended from double triangular wishbones with coil springs, and both axles have anti-roll bars and monotube shock absorbers. The damping system is adaptive, which means that it adapts to the road.
The brakes are fully ventilated carbon-ceramic brake discs with a diameter of 398 mm and six-piston aluminum brake calipers on the front axle, and 360 mm in diameter on the rear axle with four-piston aluminum brake calipers. An anti-lock braking system (ABS), dynamic stability control (DSC), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), an emergency brake assistant (EBA) and traction control are standard. The Virage has 20-inch light-alloy wheels with five spokes as standard. The weight distribution has a ratio of 50:50.
The Virage was completely handcrafted in the Aston Martin factory in Gaydon, which took around 200 hours of work per model.
