Aston Martin has decided to go bonkers on the Vantage and use all the motorsport experience gained from its racing program, giving us one of the most extreme road-going models of its history.
The Gaydon-based company knows how to make a car sound good so it’s no surprise that the new Vantage GT3 is going to sound terrifyingly awesome and loud. Racecar loud. Just how they managed to give road-legal credentials to this kind of a noise maker remains to be seen.
XCAR and Autocar released the first videos of the Vantage GT3, containing some useful insight along with a first sample of the ear-splitting soundtrack. The new Aston utilizes all the lessons learned from the Vantage racers, featuring a heavy aero agenda. This includes a huge rear diffuser combined with a similar-sized rear wing, a giant chin-spoiler and many other elements on it, giving it seven times more aero load than a standard Vantage V12 S.
With a limited run of just 100 units and a price tag set at £250,000, the new 600PS V12 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 is truly something special.
