Recently, Aston Martin released its Vantage evolution model in the UK - Vantage GT3, with a new car price of 575,000 pounds (about 524 yuan).30,000 yuan, excluding tax).
The design concept is of course based on race models, with Aston Martin winning 52 races and 11 world championships in the 11 years between 2012 and 2023, and the Vantage GT3 can be considered the successor to the classic racing car.
In terms of development, the Aston Martin team teamed up for the first time to carry out a pair of 4The 0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine has been improved with a new powertrain that achieves a power increase of 155ps and 115Nm compared to the previous model.
In addition, the aerodynamics and cockpit design have been adjusted to allow the driver to focus more on driving. At the same time, the engineers also improved downforce at high speeds and stability during braking. Because the phenomenon of pushing the head of the body is very obvious when braking in previous models, the designers have adjusted the spacing between the suspensions to ensure the stability of the suspension and reduce the load on the tires as much as possible.
The improvement of aerodynamics is mainly focused on the improvement of aerodynamics and cooling efficiency under the FIA regulations. For example, the wide design of the front grille effectively increases the air intake, improves the cooling efficiency, and thus improves the braking performance.
The carbon fiber front bonnet mainly ensures safety, and even if it is crashed during the race, it can be quickly replaced. The addition of louvers and a large rear wing at the rear of the vehicle mainly improves driving stability and balances air flow.
The evolved Vantage GT3 is ready for events such as the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), IMSA Weathertec SportsCar Championship (IMSA), Fanatec GT World Challenge, European Le Mans Series (ELMS), Nürburgring Endurance Race (NLS) and other events, and it is said that about 30 new Aston Martin Vantage GT3 cars are also ready to meet the demand of the event.
