The Tadek Marek-designed straight-6 was given a big valve, high-compression, dual-spark plug cylinder head, with dual ignition and triple Weber carburetors. This bumped the horsepower from 240 to 302. An oil cooler, overdrive and a Power Lok rear axle and GT clutch were also part of the update package.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The cabin of the Aston was also equipped with GT instrumentation, including an oil temperature gauge. This was all clothed in lightweight,\u00a0 Superleggera bodywork. Patented by Carrozzeria Touring from Milan in 1936, the superleggera system consists of an underlying structural framework of small diameter tubes to which the thin and lightweight alloy body skins are then attached.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Walking around the DB4 one can see all the thought that went into this hand-built machine and the influence of the many people behind its creation: General manager John Wyer (who later was part of the birth of the Ford GT40); Chassis designer Harold Beach; and the aforementioned engine designer Tadek Marek. All left their imprint on this car. Rounding out this trio, Managing Director David Brown took a big leap forward by creating a completely new car in the DB4, as every major component was new, carrying over nothing from the previous cars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-522882\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"702\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p3.jpg 702w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p3-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p3-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p3-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p3-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p3-293x196.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As if this Aston Martin wasn\u2019t already rare enough, it also has a connection to the Indianapolis 500. In 1961, Jack Brabham raced a modified Formula 1 Cooper at Indianapolis. It was equipped with a Coventry Climax engine and finished 9th in the 500 that year. In 1963, Kjell Qvale, an Aston Martin distributor in San Francisco, bought the Cooper to return to Indy with a more powerful Offenhauser engine. A letter from Qvale\u2019s chief mechanic, Joe Huffaker, states that he had started the job of installing a two-speed Halibrand rear end and had adapted the chassis to receive a 250 hp Offenhauser engine. This engine fit quite nicely into the existing engine bay with a few simple modifications. At this point a rep from Aston Martin came by, was impressed with the project and offered to supply engines for free as a promotional outlet for Aston Martin. Kjell jumped at the chance despite the fact that there were less then 30 days before they had to leave for Indy. The team measured up a stock DB4 engine and started work. The frame had to be stretched seven inches to accept the engine, also a new engine adaptor, clutch, engine mounts and oil tank had to be created. They finally finished and got to Indy a week late, but in time to have Pedro Rodriguez take his driver test. On the last day of his test he reached 145 mph to pass, but when the factory engine arrived the day before qualifying, it was different in many ways. The new engine was installed with much difficulty and Rodriguez went out and tried his best but only got to an average of 146.687 mph and was bumped out of the race by another car. That engine was then sold to Inskip (the New York Aston Martin distributor) and Robert Mauntner, the original owner of DB4\/892\/L in which it was installed. This was not a good combination for the road car, and thankfully the original GT engine was put back in where it belonged.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Behind the Wheel<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-522883\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p4.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p4-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p4-1024x647.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p4-100x63.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p4-770x486.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ROADDR201303-p4-293x185.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The exterior of the DB4 exudes exclusivity, and it\u2019s no different on the inside. When I climb into the Aston, I have the bespoke feel of leather, wood and wool carpeting surrounding me. Turn the key and the engine turns over and produces a wonderful growl. Taking hold of the small shift lever\u2014which has a satisfying rifle bolt-action feel\u2014I put it in gear and start off. The seats are rather large and don\u2019t really hold you in place through tight corners. Something closer to a racing seat would improve your connection to the car greatly, but instead you just need to tighten your belts, grab hold of the wood-rimmed steering wheel and hold on, while you keep an eye on the seven Smith\u2019s gauges laid out in an arc around the steering wheel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many early Astons were called \u201cFast Lorries,\u201d but I think there\u2019s many a Lorry driver who would love to have this experience. Handling that is a bit lifeless at slower speeds comes alive when you give it a bit more throttle and becomes much more lively and responsive. Even though the live rear axle jumps around a bit over bumps, the car never feels out of control and the disc brakes do a great job bringing the DB4 back down to legal speeds. In the final analysis, this particular DB4 is a very comfortable car to drive fast. The driver does have to be more aware of what he or she is doing than in a modern car, but it rewards you with quick response to your input, and it gives you the confidence for some very spirited driving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All your senses are given a treat in the DB4, from the unique smell of an old British car, the symphony of sounds created by the straight-6 engine and the feeling one has inside as the Aston makes quick work of the road ahead of you. &#8212; Sean Smith<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i>Driven Classics at a Glance:<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>SPECIFICATIONS<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1962 Aston Martin DB4<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Body construction<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Wheel base :\u00a0 98 inches<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Length: 177 inches<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Width: 66 inches<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Front track: 54 inches<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rear track: 53.5 inches<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hight: 52.5 inches<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Weight: 2734 pounds<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Suspension: (F) independent wishbone, coil springs, telescopic dampers, anti roll bar, (R) Live rear axle, coil springs, Watts linkage, lever arm dampers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Steering: Rack &amp; pinion<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Engine: 3.7-liter, twin spark plug, DOHC, straight six<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bore &amp; stroke: 92 mm x 92 mm<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Compression ratio: 8.25:1<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Induction: Triple Weber carburetors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Power: 302 bhp<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Torque: 278 lbs-ft<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Transmission: 4-speed with overdrive<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brakes: Servo-assisted disc brakes<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>PERFORMANCE<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Top Speed: 153 mph<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">0-60 mph: 6.1 seconds<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Average fuel consumption:\u00a017.7 mpg<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>VALUATION<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Price at launch: \u00a3 4169<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Due to rarity of car, price is\u00a0somewhere between a normal\u00a0DB4 and a DB4 GT:\u00a0($600,000 -1.5 million)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bond: \u201cWhere\u2019s my Bentley?\u201d Q: \u201cIt\u2019s had it\u2019s day I\u2019m afraid.\u201d Bond: \u201cBut it\u2019s never let me down.\u201d Q: \u201cM\u2019s orders 007, you\u2019ll be using this Aston Martin with modifications.\u201d Very special modifications, this 1962 DB4 (DB4\/892\/L) is one of two \u201cSeries IV\u201d cars to be fitted out to full GT spec, not by Q branch, but in the new Aston Martin factory at Newport Pagnell, under the watchful eye of David Brown.
