In March of 1992, the Aston Martin Virage was revealed with a top speed of 174 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 5.4 seconds. Handling and braking was improved and for the first time on an Aston Martin the option of ABS was offered. The chassis was quite a bit different from any previous design although it retained the same basic dimensions for wheelbase and track. But computer aided design (CAD) had enabled the chassis to be refined, lighter yet torsionally stronger. Body changes were minimal with flared wheel arches, revised front spoiler, and an optional rear spoiler.
