I saw one of these parked today at Kings hill. Absolutly bloody wondeful.

How does he performance compare with the twin supercharged V8???

I know I'd prefer the old shape V8 with the 7 litre conversion....

I have not driven any of them, but an old phrase says:
'The only thing to replace engine volume is engine volume'
I'd take a V8 over a Virage anytime, just for appearance

There is one for sale on their web site: www.rswilliams.co.uk/index2.html

Quoted at more than 500bhp and 500lbs/ft, not much different to the supercharged 550/550.

Very nice indeed, wish I had £85K to spare.

I'v driven a couple of RSW 7 litres, including the one on their for-sale website.

The torque is like a steamtrain. Wonderful things. A lot more low-down pull than my X-pack 432bhp Vantage.

Personally, I hate the 90s astons, including the stupid twin supercharged vantage.
