Aston Martin Vantage GT3 For 2024 F1 Season Unveiled

Aston Martin has once again raised the bar by introducing the Aston Martin Vantage GT3. Unveiled alongside its roadgoing counterpart — the 2025 Aston Martin Vantage — this formidable racer embodies the carmaker’s vision of endurance racing technology, poised to dominate the world’s most prestigious GT series.

Visually striking yet purposefully designed, the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 commands attention from every angle. Every curve and contour of the Vantage GT3 serves a purpose. It features an aggressive front splitter, functional hood, race-inspired side skirts, a sculpted rear diffuser, the signature Aston Martin grille, sleek LED headlights, pronounced wheel arches, and sleek lines and sharp angles that not only create a visually stunning silhouette but also ensure maximum downforce and stability at high speeds. Meanwhile, the strategically placed vents and ducts help to channel airflow for optimal cooling and aerodynamic efficiency.

Crafted from the finest carbon fiber materials, the body of the Vantage GT3 strikes the perfect balance between strength and weight savings. The exposed carbon fiber accents further emphasize the car’s racing pedigree and add a touch of sophistication to its aggressive stance.

The Aston Martin Vantage GT3 features a driver-centric interior that provides maximum comfort, control, and functionality during even the most demanding endurance races. It comes with bespoke racing seats, an intuitive instrument cluster, advanced technology and ergonomic design, carbon fiber accents, an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, and a state-of-the-art infotainment system. In the Aston Martin Vantage GT3, the cockpit isn’t just a place to sit—it’s a command center where drivers can unleash their full potential and dominate the competition.

Built upon Aston Martin’s proven bonded aluminum chassis structure, the Vantage GT3 is a testament to the brand’s unrivaled heritage in motorsport engineering. Powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine, this formidable machine delivers blistering acceleration and relentless power, setting the stage for a new era of GT racing dominance.

Behind the wheel of the Aston Martin Vantage GT3, drivers are thrust into a world of adrenaline-fueled excitement with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine that roars with over 536 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed Xtrax sequential transmission and Alcon brakes. The engine propels the Vantage GT3 to a top speed exceeding 180 miles per hour.

The Aston Martin Vantage GT3 is set to embark on a global racing campaign, challenging the world’s most prestigious endurance races. From the legendary Nürburgring 24 Hours to the iconic Spa-Francorchamps 24 Hours, the Vantage GT3 will showcase its formidable performance on some of the most demanding tracks in motorsport.

In the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the Vantage GT3 will go head-to-head with fierce competition, battling for victory on iconic circuits like Daytona International Speedway and Road America. But the excitement doesn’t stop there. The Aston Martin Vantage GT3 will also make its mark in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) at circuits like Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and Circuit Paul Ricard.

The Aston Martin Vantage GT3 has already secured spots in some of the most prestigious racing series worldwide. Magnus Racing and Heart Of Racing have kicked off their programs in the IMSA GTD, setting the stage for an exhilarating season ahead. Additionally, the Vantage GT3 is confirmed for the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), with legendary races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the grueling 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, and GT World Challenge Europe, with Heart of Racing and D’Station Racing leading the charge in the WEC’s new LMGT3 category, while Comtoyou Racing and Walkenhorst Motorsport gear up for European SRO programs.

But what about the price? Aston Martin has revealed that the base price for the Vantage GT3 is expected to be $722,579. While this may seem like a significant investment, the cost-per-kilometer figure is said to be “in line with the previous model,” ensuring that owners get the most out of every mile on the track.
