Aston Martin
Vantage GT3
The Vantage GT3 consistently punches above what the factory budget would suggest possible. Britain's most competitive GT3 car.
// 01 — THE CAR
The Aston Martin Vantage GT3 is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 — the AMG-derived engine that also powers the road-going Vantage — producing around 550 bhp. The Vantage GT3 is front-mid-engined, with a weight distribution that gives it strong mechanical balance and predictable behaviour at the limit.
The current Vantage GT3 was introduced in 2019, with subsequent updates refining the car through its homologation cycle. The current specification represents the most competitive iteration in the programme's history.
// 02 — THE RECORD
The Vantage GT3's strongest results have come at prestige endurance events. TF Sport has achieved strong results at the Spa 24 Hours and WEC rounds. In North America, Heart of Racing has been Aston Martin's standard-bearer in IMSA, producing consistent results in the GTD class across multiple seasons.
British GT is a natural home for the Vantage — a UK-built car in the UK's premier national GT championship — with multiple strong championship campaigns.
// 03 — WHERE THEY RACE
The Vantage GT3 competes across GTWCE Sprint and Endurance, IMSA GTD, the IGTC, and national championships including British GT and various European series.
The WEC LMGT3 class has brought additional visibility to the Vantage, with factory-backed entries at Le Mans and other WEC rounds. The prestige of Le Mans matters commercially to Aston Martin — the LMGT3 programme is a significant factory investment in the car's international profile.
// 04 — THE PROGRAMME
Aston Martin Racing supports customer teams through factory engineering at major events and a close relationship with teams like TF Sport. The programme is smaller than Ferrari's or Porsche's, but the factory contact is genuine and responsive.
Racing success matters to the Aston Martin brand in a way that directly reinforces factory investment. Vantage GT3 victories feed into Aston Martin's marketing in a way few manufacturers can replicate at the customer racing level.
