T imed to coincide with the international debut of the new Vantage road car, the spectacular newVantage GT3 mirrors the latest showroommodel’s intensified performance, sharpened dynamics and eye-catching style, translating those qualities into a formidable newGT racer and starting the next chapter inAston Martin’s illustrious motorsport history. Speaking of the exciting new GT racer, Marco Mattiacci, Global Chief Brand and Commercial Officer of Aston Martin said: “Simultaneously revealing the new Van- tage and Vantage GT3 race car underlines Aston Martin’s commitment to building the world’s finest sports car, and then proving its capabilities on-track. The Vantage GT3 is a comprehensive evolution of the ultra-successful and recently retired Vantage GTE and GT3 cars, which made their debuts in 2018. Sharing their me- chanical architecture – and that of the new Vantage road car – the Vantage GT3 is built around Aston Martin’s proven bonded aluminium chassis structure and powered by its fearsome twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 engine. Boasting a dramatic, all-new nose-to-tail aero- dynamic package, comprehensively revised suspension and state-of-the-art electronics, together they endow this latest-generation Aston Martin GT racer with world-beating potential. Built to comply with all FIA GT3 class regulations, including the new-for-2024 LMGT3 category, the newVantage GT3 is a truly global competitor, one that will battle for honours in the world’s most competitive GT series, including the FIAWorld En- durance Championship (WEC), IMSAWeatherTech Sportscar Championship (IMSA), Fanatec GTWorld Challenge, European Le Mans Series (ELMS) and the Nürburgring Langstrecken Serie (NLS).
