Aston Martin presents the new Vantage GT4 dedicated to private teams and those who love circuit driving.
This is a car that aims to establish itself in the junior categories of GT races.
Designed, engineered and built by Aston Martin Racing, the new Vantage GT4 takes advantage of the developments applied to the new road Vantage and, compared to the previous model, boasts a series of improvements to the chassis, aerodynamics and transmission, which make it more competitive .

Aesthetically it sports a larger front splitter, a new rear wing, and new 18-inch forged aluminum wheels, instead of the 21-inch ones on the road variant;
while inside the most recent Bosch BDU 11 display stands out, which replaces the instrumentation of the road car.
The Vantage GT4 shares approximately 80% of the road car's structural and mechanical architecture, with the aluminum chassis enhanced with a roll cage.
Under the bonnet there is space for the 4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine which, like the transmission, was created based on the mechanical parts of the road-going Vantage.
The changes concern the electronic control systems, such as the Bosch Motorsport control unit with customized software developed by AMR for the engine, and the ZF/AMR Motorsport software for the automatic transmission, which converts the eight-speed gearbox into a six-speed transmission with paddle and eliminate automatic mode.
