David Beckham’s Aston Martin AMV8 Volante is currently being advertised on Auto Trader for a cool £445,000, via Aston Martin Works.

This vintage Aston Martin comes in deep red, with cream leather interiors, deep pile carpets and burr walnut interior, and features the sought-after X Pack upgrade for the 5.3-litre engine.

With a five-speed manual gearbox and 432hp, the V8 can do 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds with a top speed of 170mph.

What is an X Pack engine?
X Pack engines are quite desirable among Aston Martin fans.

Created in the 1980s, the X Pack was the final and ultimate version of the flagship performance V8 Vantage and boosted the cars’ power, making it one of the highest performing cars of its day.

With well over 400 horsepower, these X Pack cars are desirable for their additional performance over earlier Vantages. The modifications including louder exhausts to make sure it sounded as good as it looked. Some owners have had the X Pack upgrades retrofitted to their cars as an upgrade, but Vantages like this one came with it from the factory and so are especially prized.
