Aston Martin V8 - Series 5 (1986 to 1990)

The fourth and final evolution of the Aston Martin V8 was introduced in 1986. Due to the DBS V8 being considered the first evolution of the V8, these cars are known as the Series 5. As established in previous evolutions, both coupe and 'Volante' convertibles were offered, as were standard and sportier Vantage variants. The venerable 5.3L V8 continued to power these cars, but due to the inclusion of fuel-injection, the well-known hood bulge was no longer needed, so Series 5 cars have a sleek, flatter hood than any other Aston V8. Production of the Series 5 Aston Martin V8 ended in 1989, but various late production examples were registered as 1990 cars. The Aston Martin V8 was replaced by the Aston Martin Virage.
