1958 Aston Martin DB4 PICTURES
Following in the classic tradition of close-coupled sports saloons, the 3.7-litre DB4 Aston Martin carries orthodox modernity to its highest pitch. A luxurious two-seat saloon which can carry four adults when necessary, it recorded almost 140mph as a two-way mean speed over the measured mile. Yet we were able to record acceleration figures from 10mph in the same gear ratio, reported The Motor magazine.
That the DB4 was able to manifest this rare combination of unrestrained high performance and civilised docility was down to its magnificent engine. A new design by Tadek Marek, the DB4s all-alloy, twin-overhead-camshaft six featured square bore/stroke dimensions of 92x92mm for a displacement of 3,670cc and developed its maximum output of 240bhp at 5,500rpm.
