The Vantage GT4 looks spectacular. However, it’s interesting to note that most body panels are standard production components. AMR has created a bespoke hood made from a natural flax fiber composite. This allows for larger air outlets. Racing regulations allow for aerodynamic enhancements, such as a new rear wing and a larger front splitter.
Aston Martin says downforce is improved and notes a reduction in drag compared to the outgoing GT4 racer. With hard track use in the future, AMR has paid attention to engine and brake cooling. Brake cooling is better than before, while the more prominent front grille allows more air to flow into the engine’s cooling system.
Inside, there’s a safety seat, a six-point harness, air-conditioning, and a fire extinguisher system. Optional features include a rear-view camera and a power-operated driver drinks system.
The Vantage GT4 made its racing debut at the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge at the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona event. Production is currently taking place, with several examples already with customers. AMG will build an additional 40 units throughout the 2024 season.
