In 2006, Aston Martin took on the incredible task of looking the 911 dead in the eye and not backing down, with the introduction of its V8 Vantage. While it may not have been quite the performer of the 911, the Vantage was and remains (in my humble opinion) a stunning piece of automotive architecture in comparison to the 911. In 2011, the V12 Vantage entered the market, and suddenly the entire 911 lineup had something to worry about. Now with the 2016 model year rolling in, Aston Martin has released a new limited-run model that that draws inspiration from the British carmaker’s GT3 race car. Meet the 2016 Vantage GT3 Special Edition.
With the GT3, Aston Martin takes a new step in its quest to compete with the big boys of the industry. Sure, with its limited funds and resources, it can only do so much, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.
Does the GT3 Special Edition have what it takes to hang with the masters of the road and track?
Updated 02/18/2015: Aston Martin dropped the first details on the new GT3 - a limited edition of 100, that will be unveiled at the beginning of March in Geneva.
