Available in standard form with power of upto 552bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the Virage. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 607.2bhp to 938.4bhp but this is far out of the reach of your local part store.
You will need some extensive work on the engine block, gas flowing, porting, 3 angle valve job, fast road cams, a remap, full balance and blueprint and even then you will need to add some pretty serious forced induction upgrades.
The Car Tuning Guide suggest that if you have a lower powered version you should do an engine swap with a ’552bhp Virage Coupes’. Looking at what Aston Martin have done with their top of the range Virages you get an idea for the tuning potential open to you. The most frequent modification we see on the Virage include sports exhausts, air intakes or induction kits and a fuel pressure boost valve.
The modification that gives the biggest power gain on your car would be a fast road cam. Getting better flow through the head of the engine would reward your Virage with more power. So get the engine head polished and ported.
The most powerful Virage Coupe in our database offers 552 bhp.
