In 2012, Aston Martin unveiled a racing version of the V12 Vantage to replace the aging Aston Martin DBRS9 (which also used a V12 engine).
The engine develops 600 bhp (447 kW; 608 PS) and 700 N⋅m (516 lb⋅ft) of torque.
A carbon fibre drive-shaft mates the engine to an Xtrac 6-speed sequential transmission with automated paddle-shift gear change.
The Vantage GT3 has a dry weight of 1,250 kg (2,756 lb), with near 50/50 front/rear weight distribution.
The car competed in the FIA GT1 World Championship and the Blancpain Endurance Series, while Tony Quinn raced the GT3 Vantage to second place in the 2013 Australian GT Championship.
