Behold the most driver-focused V8 Vantage ever produced, the Aston Martin Vantage GT8 – a limited-run, race-inspired jewel. Only 150 units are being built, plus three pre-production cars
Aston Martin has focused greatly on aerodynamics and weight saving for this elite new model; the lightest Vantage ever – having lost 75-100kg – boasts an astonishing 440bhp from its provoking 4.7-litre V8, complemented by its dynamic character and sporting DNA. Reach 62mph from a standing start in just 4.4 seconds up to 190mph flat out.

The GT8’s striking design sits on a 50mm wider track, accentuating its muscle. Carbon-fibre bodywork is dramatically sculpted and shaped, with cutaway front wheel arches like that of the GTE racer.
