The Aston Martin Vantage GTE is derived from the new Vantage road car, the second sports car to emerge from the company’s ‘Second Century Plan’. Developed in tandem with the road car, the Vantage GTE competes in the 2018/19 FIA World Endurance Championship Super Season. Based on the same lightweight aluminium chassis as the road-going Vantage, the car features an AMG-derived 4-0-litre turbocharged V8 engine, developed and optimised by Aston Martin Racing to be competitive in world class GT competition. The Vantage GTE uses a six-speed sequential Xtrac transmission, Ohlins 5-way adjustable dampers, Alcon brakes and runs on Michelin tyres. The minimum weight GTE cars allowed to run in the FIA WEC is 1245kg, some 300kg lighter than the road car. The race car saves weight by being stripped of all non-essential interior items, replaced by a steel roll cage, Schroth safety belts, 8862 racing seat and impact foam in the driver’s door. Even the steering wheel is replaced by a quick release version feeding electro-hydraulic power assisted steering. The overall shape and silhouette of the car must remain the same as the road car. But particular attention was paid to the aerodynamics of the new Vantage GTE to apply the lessons learned from its predecessor — the V8 Vantage GTE. The new car generates a more powerful handling capability to assist the drivers while retaining its maximum velocity in a straight line.
