Aston Martin has unveiled three new models simultaneously at Silverstone, considered the epicenter of motorsport in the United Kingdom. Among these releases, the Vantage GT3 stands out particularly.
The Vantage GT3, inspired by the Vantage, Aston Martin's quintessential sports car, carries the legacy and aesthetics of the brand, adapted to dominate the world's most prestigious racing tracks, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2024. This racing machine takes the supreme qualities of the production model and transforms them into a new generation GT competitor, ready to add to Aston Martin's already rich history in motorsport, which includes 52 class victories and 11 world titles between 2012 and 2023 with the successful Vantage GTE.
Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman of Aston Martin, highlighted the importance of this launch: “These three vehicles represent a new dynamic in our DNA. Simultaneously revealing the new Vantage and Vantage GT3, along with our challenge in Formula One, shows our ambition to be a leading force in F1 and to create the most exciting sports cars in the world. Today we celebrate high performance and also highlight the growing relationship between our road and racing programs."
