The Vantage GT8 is a true thoroughbred. It is the lightest and most powerful V8 Vantage ever made, the Vantage GT8’s dramatically sculpted carbon fibre bodywork has been shaped by race-bred aerodynamic function. With a super-sharp chassis tuned for track-focused agility, powered by a revised 440 bhp version of Aston Martin’s 4.7-litre V8 and available with a choice seven-speed Sportshift II paddle-shift transmission or unlike the GT12, a six-speed manual, the Vantage GT8 has unmistakable style, a no-nonsense stance and a driving experience that’s second to none.
Wide-bodied with aerodynamics that clearly take their lead from Aston Martin Racing’s WEC contender, it features extensive use of carbon fibre with the front splitter, front and rear bumpers, wings, side sills and rear diffuser all fashioned from the lightweight material. One of the most striking standard features is the cutaway front wheelarch, which mimics that of the GTE racer. Those wishing for the most extreme aero configuration can specify the optional Aero Pack, which adds the large rear wing and additional corner elements to the front splitter.
