- 1 of 150 Examples Worldwide - Driver Focused Spec with Manual 6-Speed Gearbox - Includes the Desirable Aero Pack - Paint Protection Film (PPF) Applied to Whole Car - UK Supplied Inspired by the astonishing 2016 Aston Martin GT8 Vantage GTE WEC race car, the Vantage GT8 is a true thoroughbred. The lightest most powerful V8 Vantage ever built, the GT8's dramatically sculpted carbon fibre bodywork has been derived straight from the race car to provide similar aerodynamic functions. From nose to tail the motorsport inspired special edition is every inch the road racer. It features extensive use of carbon fibre on the front splitter, front and rear bumpers, wings, side sills, and rear diffuser. One of the most striking aesthetic features is the cutaway front wheel arch, which mimics 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. With a super sharp chassis tuned for the track and powered by a revised 440bhp version of Aston Martin's 4.7 litre V8; the GT8 is available with a choice of a six-speed manual or seven speed Sportshift II Paddle-Shift Transmission. The manual is believed to be the more driver focused alternative. The Vantage GT8 has unmistakable style, a no-nonsense stance and a driving experience that's second to none.
