The 1974 Aston Martin V8 was largely similar to the previous year’s model, with some minor updates and refinements. It was available as both a coupe and convertible, and was powered by a 5.3-liter V8 engine that produced around 315 horsepower.
One notable change for 1974 was the introduction of an improved cooling system, which helped to prevent overheating issues that had been reported in earlier models. The interior also received some updates, including a revised dashboard and new seats.
In terms of performance, the 1974 V8 was capable of reaching a top speed of around 150 mph, and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in around 6 seconds. It featured a four-speed manual transmission as standard, with a three-speed automatic available as an option.
The 1974 Aston Martin V8 was produced in limited numbers, with only around 400 units built over the course of the year.
