  • Aston Martin Vantage GT4

    Aston Martin is thrilled to announce the arrival of the brand new Vantage GT4, the latest addition to their formidable racing lineup. This track-focused beast is built for both professional racers and passionate enthusiasts, offering a thrilling and competitive experience.

    Building on the success of its predecessor, the new Vantage GT4 boasts significant performance upgrades derived from the stunning new Vantage road car. It features a host of improvements across the chassis, aerodynamics, drivetrain, and efficiency, making it a true force to be reckoned with on the racetrack.

    Born to Win

    Aston Martin Chief Brand Officer, Marco Mattiacci, hails the Vantage GT4 as a “born winner,” highlighting its class-leading power and technology inspired by the new Vantage road car. This close collaboration between road and race car programs translates into exceptional performance on the track, further solidifying Aston Martin’s commitment to motorsports at all levels.

    Engineered for Excellence

    Developed and built by Aston Martin Racing (AMR), the official GT racing partner since 2005, the Vantage GT4 benefits from their unmatched experience and knowledge. Drawing inspiration from the championship-winning predecessor, the new car incorporates advancements from the Vantage road car to deliver even greater speed and efficiency. While adhering to strict regulations, the Vantage GT4 retains around 80% of the road car’s core structure and mechanics, ensuring a familiar and reliable base.

    Precision on the Track

    The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine and transmission are derived from the road car, featuring modifications to the electronic control systems for optimal performance and precise control. Bespoke software transforms the eight-speed transmission into a six-speed paddle shift, perfectly tailored for racing applications. New two-way adjustable KW dampers, developed in partnership with the renowned suspension manufacturer, offer exceptional precision and control, while maintaining the driver-friendly characteristics that made the previous Vantage GT4 so popular.

    Aerodynamic Advantage

    The Vantage GT4’s stunning design closely resembles the road car, with subtle yet effective aerodynamic modifications. Utilizing advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and collaborating with Aston Martin’s Design department, AMR crafted a high-performance aerodynamic package that seamlessly integrates with the car’s aesthetics. Larger front splitter and a new rear wing, permitted by GT4 regulations, generate increased downforce and reduced drag for superior handling and speed.

    Ready to Race

    The new Vantage GT4 successfully completed its development program and made its international racing debut at the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona. Production is already underway, with several cars delivered to customer teams and over 40 units ordered for the 2024 season.

    A Legacy of Success

    Since its debut in 2009, the Aston Martin Vantage GT4 has established itself as a dominant force in GT racing, consistently securing victories in various series and endurance events worldwide. Building on this winning legacy, the new Vantage GT4 is poised to continue this tradition, offering a fast, reliable, and exploitable package for racers of all levels to challenge for victory.

  • Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster

    Aston Martin is proud to introduce the new V12 Vantage Roadster – a uniquely exciting and ultra-exclusive limited production model which combines the thrilling performance of the most powerful Aston Martin Vantage ever made with the freedom and sensory stimulation of roof-down driving.

    With production strictly limited to just 249 customer examples globally, with all examples sold ahead of release, the V12 Vantage Roadster boasts a compelling combination of dramatic widebody design, ground-hugging wide-track suspension and – for the first time in a Vantage Roadster – the mighty 5.2-litre Twin-Turbo V12 engine. With searing straight-line speed and the unfiltered howl of Aston Martin’s sonorous 700PS 12-cylinder engine, the V12 Vantage Roadster elevates the open-top driving experience to a scintillating new level.

    Roberto Fedeli, Aston Martin Chief Technical Officer, said: “We have worked extremely hard to ensure the V12 Vantage Roadster possesses the same potency and dynamism that characterises the V12 Vantage, while surpassing it in terms of raw sensory excitement that you only achieve with roof down driving. With more power and torque than any Vantage Roadster before it, a wide-track chassis with precisely tuned suspension calibration, and up to ten times the downforce of the series production Vantage Roadster, this is a breathtaking machine created for our most enthusiastic customers”.

    Key to this exhilarating driving experience is the powerhouse of the engine. Developing 700PS at 6500 rpm and 753Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm, the quad-cam 60-deg 5.2-litre V12 is a true force of nature. With a power-to-weight ratio of 372PS-per-ton and an endlessly impressive delivery which combines effortless in-gear response with epic acceleration, every squeeze of the V12 Vantage Roadster’s throttle leads to an unforgettable adrenaline rush.

    Accelerating from rest to 60mph in just 3.5sec and with a top speed of 200mph the V12 Vantage Roadster occupies the very highest echelon of open-top sportscar performance. With a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission and mechanical Limited-Slip Differential (LSD) mounted at the rear, the car possesses the purity and balance of a front-mid-engined rear-wheel drive layout. An optimised transmission calibration minimises shift speeds and maximises driver interaction, while adaptive software in the transmission’s control system monitors operating conditions and driver demands to enhance the driver’s feeling of response and control.

    Sharing the same suspension hardware as the V12 Vantage, but featuring a bespoke tune for its adaptive dampers, the V12 Vantage Roadster’s dynamics have been honed to the keenest possible edge. The steering calibration mirrors that found in the V12 Vantage, to offer maximum steering feel and quick response, improvements which bring the car alive through corners and can be felt with every steering input.

    Like the V12 Vantage, the V12 Vantage Roadster features powerful Carbon Ceramic Brakes (CCB) as standard. Measuring 410mm x 38mm the front discs are gripped by 6-piston calipers, while the 360mm x 32mm rear discs are paired with 4-piston calipers. With much increased stopping power and tremendous resistance to brake fade at high temperatures, the CCB technology also makes a considerable 23kg of unsprung weight saving compared to steel brakes, benefitting steering response and ride quality.

    In order to further reduce overall mass the V12 Vantage Roadster’s front bumper, clamshell bonnet, front fenders and side sills are made from carbon fibre, with the rear bumper and deck lid made from weight-saving composite material. Additional savings have been made with the adoption of a lightweight battery and a special centre-mounted twin-exit exhaust system fabricated from lightweight 1mm stainless steel. Tuned to ensure the V12 Vantage Roadster has a rousing voice to match its looks, this new system weighs 7.2kg less than the Vantage Roadster’s exhaust.

    It’s an indication of the V12 Vantage Roadster’s monstrous performance that its dramatic form is driven by function. For example, the formidable physique of the widebody design is necessary to accommodate the widetrack suspension, which is 40mm wider than Vantage. The new front bumper design, complete with full width front splitter generates additional downforce and aerodynamic balance, while increased cooling is achieved by the reshaped front grille, which is 25% larger, and the ‘horse shoe’ engine vent in the bonnet.

    Aerodynamic performance also informs the new sculpted single-piece sills and rear bumper, which comes complete with integrated diffuser – the effectiveness of which has been improved by the routing of the centre mounted, twin tailpipe, exhaust system. In contrast to the V12 Vantage, the V12 Vantage Roadster comes without the dramatic rear wing as standard, though it can be specified as an option. Those who choose the more understated look can do so in the knowledge that aerodynamic balance is maintained thanks to detailed management of underbody airflow.

    Final visual touches come in the form of impressive 21in alloy wheels, which are offered in two finishes, satin black or satin black diamond turned. An optional lightweight forged wheel option is also available in both satin black and satin black diamond turned, which saves a further 8kg of unsprung mass. Michelin Pilot 4S high performance tyres – 275/35 R21 front and 315/30 R21 at the rear – are standard fitment on all rims.

    As flagship of the Vantage range, the V12 Roadster is fitted with Sports Plus Seats trimmed in full semi-aniline leather and featuring ‘Wings’ quilt and perforation pattern as standard. A carbon fibre performance seat with exposed twill carbon fibre shell and manual 6-way adjustment can be had as an option for those looking for the ultimate in dynamic design and maximum support for high performance driving, also saving 7.3kg without skimping on occupant comfort.

    V12 Vantage Roadster customers can further boost the exclusivity of their car by engaging the services of the marque’s bespoke personalisation service, Q by Aston Martin, for everything from striking exterior graphics and liveries to woven leather. With extensive use of exposed carbon fibre in its design, the V12 Vantage Roadster also lends itself perfectly to Q by Aston Martin: Commission’s range of tinted lacquers, which change appearance under different lighting conditions to make a spectacular feature of the hand-laid carbon fibre panels.

    Marek Reichman, Aston Martin Chief Creative Officer, adds: “From a design perspective, V12 Vantage Roadster is a combination of living sculpture and physiology, such as the functions of an elite runner or thoroughbred racehorse. On one hand, much like the way their systems are developed to handle the stresses of peak performance and trained to work together to increase efficiency and power using oxygen, V12 Vantage Roadster was designed to maximize the benefits of airflow into, throughout and around the car. And on the other, for our Drivers, we created this explicit open-top sports car for those craving excitement and drama. The platform presented us with a design opportunity to make a contemporary visual statement of intent. The result is a living, breathing, driving sculpture with a level of control that sits at the fingertips”.

    Production of the V12 Vantage Roadster is due to commence in Q3 of 2022, with first deliveries scheduled to begin during Q4 2022.

  • Aston Martin celebrates returning to F1 with a special model

    2021 Aston Martin Vantage F1 EditionNew Vantage F1 Edition comes to celebrate the brand’s return to Formula 1 racing for the first time in over 60 years. The vehicle is also the first one to be created by Aston Martin’s new Chief Executive Officer, Tobias Moers.

    The vehicle comes with unique chassis and aerodynamic improvements, along with a new and powerful power unit. The main challenge before the engineering team was to boost dramatically performance rates, but without sacrificing the on-road capabilities. The result is a beautiful vehicle that offers increased tactility and expanded outright capabilities.

    Drivetrain system and performance

    The heart of the beast is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that delivers a total of 535hp. Peak torque is 685Nm, and can sustain for longer to increase tractability and in gear urgency. This massive output is controlled by an 8-speed automatic with optimized torque cut during upshifts. This allows the entire system to reduce shift times and increase the precision of driving.

    As it comes to the chassis, engineers have focused their attention mainly on the suspension and steering, with further changing structure in order to enhance the stiffness and steering response. The vehicle comes with reworked damper internals that contributes to better vertical body control – both in high-speed situations and over crests. To complement the changes to the dampers, the chassis also benefits from increased rear spring rate and lateral stiffness for better cornering and more stability.

    Vantage F1 Edition’s performance upgrades are topped off with an exclusive aero kit, which brings improvements of any kind. First, the vehicle provides 200kg more downforce, compared to the Vantage, and also presents a new silhouette with tons of aerodynamic improvements. These include changes to the front splitter, front dive planes, and the rear wing.

    Additional changes

    2021 Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition

    With all the chassis and performance upgrades, the vehicle also features large 21-inch wheels and an exclusive new body finish, the Aston Martin Green scheme, which is specially designed to celebrate the return to the Formula One. Also, there’s an additional set of body colors, available in Satin or Gloss. Such is the Jet Black and Lunar White.

  • 2017 Vanquish Zagato Volante: too much refinement is never enough

This sweetheart will accompany the North American debut of the Coupe model and will be strictly limited to just 99 vehicles. Created at Aston Martin’s headquarters in Gaydon, England, Volante has a lot to demonstrate.

    Overwhelming customer interest and positive feedback

    Zagato Volante is a fine creation from a collaboration of almost 60 years. As you might know, everything started with the 1960 DB4 GT Zagato race car and throughout the years there were new and worthy additions: DB7 Vantage Zagato of 2002, 2011 V12 Vantage Zagato and now, the most recent to date is the Zagato Coupe, announced earlier this year.

    SEE ALSO: Top 5 facts you don’t know about Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Concept

    In fact, there were also previous convertibles Zagato models: we immediately think of the striking V8 Vantage Volante, first shown back in 1987 and the DB AR1 back in 2003. The last one, the DB AR1 was also limited to 99 units and is considered to be one of the finest collectable models worldwide. And as it looks like, Aston Martin team continues the tradition to strike our minds with unique style and quality.

    More in-detail

    2017 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Volante

    Vanquish Zagato Volante is expected to be a mighty addition to the lineup: embodying Aston Martin’s refined taste and meticulous attention to detail, Zagato is expected to deliver 592hp (444kW) and have an acceleration rate, measured at 3.7 seconds for a run from 0 to 100km/h (62mph).

    Exterior tweaks

    In terms of exterior styling, Volante shares the same proportions as the Coupe: definitely an instant-recognizable Aston Martin vehicle, this one also has this classic Zagato twist with round tail light reflectors and the same bladed LED technology as in the Vulcan supercar. We see neat twin cowls on the rear deck that blend into the leading edge of the luggage compartment, concealing a folding hood and cool carbon-fiber sills around the lower body to add that boost to the sporty appearance and performance. We tend to like this design.

    Interior

    2017 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Volante

    Of course, we expect nothing, but the finest, as it comes to comfort and quality of an Aston Martin vehicle. Brand’s specialist ‘Q’ division adds luxurious and stylish components that include herringbone carbon-fiber, anodized bronze detailing and fine Bridge of Weir leather. Of course, we expect that there would be tons of personalization features, but what we also know so far is that the Volante will offer 100% Aston Martin driving experience, blended with new-age technologies. Cool.
