British car makers Aston Martin have unveiled there new race car the
Vantage GT2 which is loosely based on the stunning V8 Vantage.
Unfortunately its not a road going model and is purely for the race
track and prices for the Vantage GT2 haven't been announced yet I'd
imagine its bloody expensive. The boring stuff is that it will run on
normal race fuel or E95 ethanol making the Aston Martin Vantage GT2
apparently greener! They shouldn't have bothered as we could do with
the UK warming up a good few degrees. The good stuff is like all other
Aston's its going to be a seriously good looking car although I do
prefer the road going Vantage to the artists picture as the spoiler
just looks wrong, yet unlike the idiots cruising in there Nova's it
actually needs the rear wing for grip.
Aston Martin Racing managing director Robin Brundle said "The
new Vantage GT2 completes our product portfolio for 2008. We now have
competitive cars in every category.Thanks to our experience with the
DBRS9, we've been able to develop a
bio-ethanol fueled version that will be eligible to race in a growing
number of series accommodating this greener fuel, including the
American Le Mans Series."
A serious big boys toy for people with seriously big wallets to take racing on a Sunday after getting off there expensive yacht. One day one day lol.
