From series 31, Much to the dismay of the other presenters, Paddy was lucky enough to test out the Aston Martin Victor, This is not a slightly uprated version of the Vulcan’s V12. The Victor uses the One-77s production-sourced 7.3-litre V12, but this one has been back to Cosworth for extra fettling. I dread to think of the cost implications of liberating an extra 86bhp and 60lb ft from a single engine, but it does mean that any One-77 owners out there might be able to send their cars back for the same uplift. It transforms the engine. Aston doesn’t mention performance figures, but numbers are not what this car is about. It’s safe to say performance is plentiful.
