Indeed, the Virage name lasted just a few years, with its final descendants inheriting the simple and familiar V8 name.
The design was freshened, leaving only the roof and doors of the car intact. The Vantage was wider, appeared lower, and used four round "grapefruit" tail lights. Like the 6.3, the Vantage used record-sized 362 mm (14 in) brake discs

Even the Virage name was dropped leaving only the name Vantage - never to be confused with the early 70's car of course. Later variants were badged V8 Vantage which is even more confusing as then should not be confused with the 'real' V8 Vantage built between 1977 and 1989.
