The new Aston Martin GT3 set to carry the British manufacturer’s hopes at the Le Mans 24 Hours and in the World Endurance Championship next year has broken cover.
The evolution version of the Vantage GT3 under development ahead of a release to customers in time for the 2024 season was photographed for the first time during general testing at Silverstone this week. It follows last week’s announcement that Aston is developing new versions of its GT3 and GT4 Vantages at the launch of its graduation to the top divisions of the WEC and IMSA SportsCar Championship with the Valkyrie Le Mans Hypercar in 2025.
The revised GT3 racer is understood to be in the final stages of development ahead of its homologation while the new GT4 version of the Vantage is also known to be up and running. No details of the two days of testing at Silverstone on Monday and Tuesday this week have been released by Aston. But it is known that factory driver Jonny Adam and marque stalwart Darren Turner, who is contracted to Aston Martin Lagonda rather than AMR, were among those to get behind the wheel of the new car.
