100 unidades 6.0 V12 600cv Peso: 1,565kg 100kg menos que el V12 Vantage S                       Nota de prensa, en inglés Inspired by racing - the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 special edition 18 February 2015, Gaydon: Aston Martin is today revealing the first details of its most potent and uncompromising Vantage to date: the track-inspired Vantage GT3 special edition. With production strictly limited to just 100 examples, the new model combines all of Aston Martin’s learning from its years of sports car competition around the globe to produce its most performance focused road-going Vantage. Equipped with a new iteration of the brand’s 6.0-litre V12 engine which is capable of generating up to 600 PS1, the car weighs in at 100kg less than a standard V12 Vantage S. Comprehensively re-engineered, as well as significantly restyled, the GT3-inspired special edition is lower and wider than any of its siblings in the Vantage family. A broader track – front and rear – brings even more composed cornering thanks to a reduction in lateral load transfer, while the use of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres provides even more assured handling. Thoroughly equipped with cutting edge motorsport-inspired features, from the extensive use of carbon fibre inside and out to the track-focused aerodynamics pack – which includes a prominent rear wing and pronounced front splitter – the race-derived new Vantage brings more focused and uncompromising capability and styling to a road-going Aston Martin. The aerodynamics package in particular has a profound effect, producing significant downforce to provide even greater levels of grip and stability at higher speeds. Inspired by Aston Martin Racing’s successful campaigns, this new GT3-derived Vantage has been designed and engineered exclusively at Aston Martin’s Gaydon Headquarters in Warwickshire, England, to be the most overt expression of everything that defines Vantage: an inspirational sports model offering supreme driveability on the road, and uncompromising dynamic performance on track. New flared carbon fibre front wings, carbon fibre bonnet, a lithium ion race-derived battery, carbon-fibre door casings, optional carbon fibre roof, optional weight-saving polycarbonate rear window and rear quarter windows are just a few of the measures which illustrate the engineers’ determination to eliminate mass wherever possible. That determination has paid off, too, as the new car weighs in at only 1,565 kg2. Under the skin lie a number of bespoke engineering upgrades, aside from the new 600 PS1 V12 engine. Magnesium inlet manifolds with revised geometry, a lightweight magnesium torque tube and a full titanium exhaust system with centre outlets are just a few of the features that underline the rigorous re-engineering of this exclusive new Vantage. The car’s interior is comprehensively reworked, too, with a full carbon fibre centre stack and touch-sensitive control array; race-derived carbon fibre sports seats; Alcantara trim and the option of numerous bespoke features courtesy of the brand’s popular personalisation service: Q by Aston Martin. Announcing the arrival of the Vantage GT3 special edition, Aston Martin CEO Dr Andy Palmer said: “Motorsport is in our blood at Aston Martin. The Vantage is the car we campaign in top level sports car racing around the world and so it seems only fitting that we offer an exclusive, limited edition Vantage that expertly fuses our motorsport know-how with our road car prowess.” He added: “The Vantage GT3 special edition is an uncompromising example of our design and engineering expertise and I’m sure the 100 owners who secure one of these cars will savour every second behind the wheel; whether on the road or on the track.” The Vantage GT3 special edition will make its public debut on 3 March at the 85th Geneva International Motor Show (Hall 5, Stand 5253), with first customer deliveries beginning in the third quarter of 2015. 1 Predicted power output 2 Predicted kerb weight |

Estamos ante lo mismo de siempre. Si es una version radicalizada y enfocada a trackdays no tiene nada de truñeada. Lo tendria si cada aditamento aerodinamico que lleva encima no sirviera nada mas que para asustar a las viejas, pero como en realidad estan ahi para cumplir su funcion, no veo el problema. El resultado me la pone dura, aunque quizas como ya han comentado el peso es un poco elevado para un coche de este tipo... Pero con esos 600 cv dudo que se arrastre precisamente

A ver cuando Aston Martin se pone las pilas de una vez. Me da pena verla arrastrándose como un animal moribundo, sacando refritos y deportivos con tecnología de hace 20 años, mejorando únicamente el aislamiento y calidad de la piel del interior (total, sólo lo compran futbolistas) y haciendo leves retoques en el sonido de sus escapes. |

Vaya destrozo... En la mecánica no me meto porque no tengo ni zorra pero físicamente la esencia de Aston Martin está lejos de éste. |

Viéndolo de otra manera: el Vantage N24 pesa 1.330 kg, fíjate si hay margen para rebajar peso. Ahora, si lo dejas absolutamente todo... Desde luego que la diferencia de 200 kg no es únicamente del V12. |

Las taloneras laterales son para que el enano Lanister se pueda subir comodamente Aun así me encantaría pasar mi prepucio por ese salpicadero. NO HOMO |

Uno compra un Aston Martin sobretodo por el diseño y clase que desprende. Si le quitas eso, y haces este bicho, yo me aseguraria que fuera competitivo en numeros. Apuesto un mano a que se queda lejos de este en todo Pero bueno, a ver como sale |
