Fastest Volkswagen cars
Aston Martin is known for the superior handling, performance, and enthusiastic exhaust notes of their V8 and V12 engines. However, what are the fastest Aston Martin cars ever made? If we were to do a drag race of all AM cars, which one would come first? Will it be the DBX 707, the Vulcan, the DBS, or the Valkyrie?

Aston Martin has made some of the most performance-oriented and track-ready sports cars in the world. Some of the fastest Aston Martin cars, like the DBS, DB11, One-77, and Vantage, offer magnetic charisma and superior 0-62 mph sprint times and top speeds. Aston Martin also inculcates many F1-derived technologies in their cars, making them more powerful, lighter, and faster.

We have compiled a list of the top 10 fastest Aston Martin cars ever made. The list does not include vintage Aston Martin cars, but these are the recent examples from the brand that have impressed the world with their performance, luxury, and looks.

With every passing year, these luxury car manufacturers sell some improved and exciting cars. These are enriched with updated technology and more advanced and improved handling dynamics. The same thing applies to 2023 Aston Martin cars. And for that, you can take a look at the fastest Aston Martin cars you can buy in 2023.

What is the fastest Aston Martin ever built?

The fastest Aston Martin ever built is the new Aston Martin Valkyrie. This hybrid supercar is powered by a naturally aspirated V12 engine and an electric motor. It takes only 2.3 seconds (est) to reach 0–60 mph.

Are Aston Martins faster than Ferraris?

The answer to this question is so easy. Ferraris are comparatively faster than Aston Martin cars. They tend to focus more on performance and outstanding 0–60 and quarter-mile figures. On the other hand, Aston Martin seems to be inclined more towards a perfect experience of comfort as well as a fast car.

What is the most expensive Aston Martin?

The most expensive Aston Martin ever is the 1956 Aston Martin DBR1. The vintage car was sold for $22.5 million in an auction bid.

14. Aston Martin Vangate GT8

We’ve seen most sportscar manufacturers make scarier and faster versions of their already popular sportscars and supercars. And the Aston Martin Vantage GT8 was a product of this trend alone.

The Vantage is a life-saving product of the Aston Martin brand. No matter what happened to the manufacturer, Vantage has always been the one particular product that brought in the most sales.

And both the V8 and V12 of the Vantage are significantly popular among enthusiasts. And the GT8 Vantage has slightly more power and feels a lot more track-focused than its regular siblings.

However, the Aston Martin DBX in its 707 trim is a mad and angry machine, and it makes nearly 700 British horses and is a joy to drive around. Yes, there’s a lot of body roll compared to what you’ll feel in a similarly fast coupe or convertible from Aston Martin, but it is significantly more dynamic than a few of its competitors. Plus, the AMG-sourced twin-turbo V8 delivers power effortlessly, and you’ll adore the sound it makes!

Did You Know?

The Aston Martin logo, featuring a pair of wings, was inspired by the brand’s connection with aviation. Founders Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford chose the symbol to represent their passion for speed, with the wings symbolizing speed, freedom, and power.

10. Aston Martin DB11 V12

And for those speed-thirsty millionaires, Aston Martin released the Rapide AMR, and it came with a big 6.0L naturally aspirated V12 motor producing nearly 600 horses that’d push it to a top speed of over 200 miles per hour with a quarter-mile time of 4.2 seconds.

The optional package features a new aerodynamic front clam, a second set of all other exterior body panels, lightweight titanium brakes, track-focused suspension, and a matte black magnesium performance wheel and carbon-fiber aero-disk set. However, the AMR Pro version is not street-legal.
