Aston Martin has officially unveiled its updated, Evo-specification Vantage GT3 ahead of the car’s FIA World Endurance Championship debut in Qatar. The new car, which will remain known as the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 according to the British marque, was launched alongside the newest version of the Vantage road car.

First announced back in October, the new car is a “comprehensive evolution” of the previous Vantage GT3, which debuted back in 2018. Powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, the updated car features an all-new aerodynamic package as well as a revised suspension.

Martin Vantage GT3 car was developed as part of a collaborative effort between Aston Martin Racing and the Silverstone-based Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT) division, which is also working on the Valkyrie LMH program. The New Martin Vantage GT3 is our first opportunity to use AMPT to play a role in leveraging the capabilities, attitude, and methodologies of all of Aston Martin’s various nerve centers, which we have then combined with the unrivaled GT program management expertise of AMR.

Martin Vantage GT3, the development of the car, which featured a 30-hour endurance test, was undertaken by both Aston Martin factory drivers as well as selected amateur drivers. A notable feature of the new car is the updated front end, which was already visible when the car made its racing debut in the hands of The Heart of Racing and Magnus Racing during the recent Rolex 24 at Daytona.
