Aston Martin’s revealed its latest model to tap into the firm’s motorsport efforts.

Called the Vantage GT8, the limited-edition special follows the motorsport-inspired recipe we saw last year on the GT12 with less weight, more power, and radical exterior add-ons.

As its name’s ‘8’ reveals, underneath its bonnet beats the Vantage V8’s engine. The 4.7-litre V8 has been tickled to produce an extra 7kW, totalling its outputs to 328kW and a carried-over 490Nm. It’ll come matched either to seven-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission.
