The X-Pack took things to another level, although it did away with the deployable skis, missiles and jet engine as seen on the Bond car.

Built between 1986 and 89, the X-Pack introduced a raft of updates over the base V8 Vantage including four dual-barrel Weber carburettors, Nimrod racing-type heads, larger valves and high compression pistons from Cosworth.

This upped the 5.3-litre V8’s output to 432hp, not far off what supercars of the day were capable of.

Telling the X-Pack apart from the regular Vantages is easy, too, looking as though it could deck you just for staring at it.
