With the introduction of the GT4, Aston Martin completes the new Vantage racing lineup. The new model, created by the Aston Martin Racing (AMR) division, is an improved version of the previous model with a modified chassis setup along with enhancements to cooling and aerodynamics.

Eighty percent of the roadgoing model’s “structural and mechanical architecture” is shared by the racecar according to GT4 class restrictions. The Vantage GT4 fulfills our need for a more powerful version of the road-legal Vantage, even though it misses the spectacular appearance of the previously unveiled GT3-spec model.

A more noticeable front splitter and a fixed rear wing make up the more aggressive aerodynamic package. Compared to the Vantage GT4, those two parts are supposed to provide less drag and more downforce. The vented hood is the only other body part that differs from the standard Vantage. It is constructed from a composite of sustainable natural flax fiber that has been strengthened using a cork core substance. Finally, redesigned brake ducts enhance cooling, and a bigger radiator aperture supplies the engine with additional air.

The bonded aluminum chassis is equipped with a specially designed roll cage within. The central console and dashboard have been changed out with two screens, a carbon-fiber body, and a number of motorsport switches. Additionally noticed are the F1-style steering wheel and the entire Racetech racing bucket.

Function and Chassis Configuration:

Under the hood is the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine from AMG that powers the Vantage, but with an ECU modification from Bosch Motorsport. Although the output can be changed, it is now just 469 horsepower (350 kW / 476 PS) and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) in its standard configuration. The 2025 Aston Martin Vantage road car produces 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque and an impressive 656 horsepower (489 kW / 665 PS).

Similarly, ZF and AMR updated the software on the eight-speed automatic transmission, essentially making it a six-speed paddle-shift gearbox. In addition to removing the final two overdrive ratios, the racing setup also eliminates the automated feature.

The two-way adjustable KW dampers and a few authorized adjustments to the suspension connects that allowed a more aggressive camber are the main components of the chassis improvements. Lastly, in compliance with GT4 standards, the model is mounted on a new set of 18-inch forged aluminum wheels, which have a much lower diameter than the 21-inch wheels of the standard Vantage.

Alongside the Vantage GT3, the Aston Martin Vantage GT4 made a muted racing début at the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona last month. The company has already delivered a number of units to customer teams and has plans to manufacture around 40 units by the 2024 season.
