12 Dec 2016|1,050 views
The Aston Martin Vantage GT8 will make its debut at the Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour race in February 2017 with R-Motorsport, competing in the invitational class for production cars. Aston Martin works driver, Darren Turner, will lead the charge and will be joined by one of the R-Motorsport team owners, Florian Kamelger, and Markus Lungstrass.
Held annually at Mount Panorama in New South Wales, Australia, the Bathurst 12 Hour is technically a street circuit that presents a multitude of challenges, not least the tight and narrow section that runs across the top of the mountain. In stature it is as notorious as the Nurburgring 24 Hours and the Spa 24 Hours.
The Aston Martin Vantage GT8 is a limited edition sports car produced by the British manufacturer's in-house Special Vehicle Operations division. Inspired by the world-beating V8 Vantage GTE cars that compete in the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile World Endurance Championship, the Vantage GT8 is the lightest and most powerful production V8 Vantage ever. Powered by a 4.7-litre V8 engine, the Vantage GT8 was limited to just 150 examples and all are sold out.
