But it’s not just about raw performance; Aston Martin has also focused on making the GT3 as drivable as possible for both professional and amateur drivers. Lead engineer Gustavo Betelli explains, “The focus on the new Vantage GT3 was to increase their performance window and make something that would work at any circuit, on any tire, and with any driver.”
Visually, the Vantage GT3 is a sight to behold, combining the muscular design of the new Vantage road car with extreme aerodynamics that make GT3 racing so thrilling. It’s a perfect blend of form and function, designed to turn heads on and off the track.
With its widespread eligibility and immediate popularity among racing teams, the Vantage GT3 is poised to continue Aston Martin’s legacy of GT racing success.
