In 2017, Aston Martin announced a limited, track-focused iteration of the V8 Vantage: the Vantage GT8.

The company would only manufacture 150 cars, 50 more than the GT12.
The GT8 features the same 4.7-litre V8 as found in the base Vantage but with power now increased to 440 bhp (328 kW; 446 PS), and has a top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h).
The GT8 is available with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed Sportshift II automated manual transmission, and has a kerb weight of 1,510 kg (3,329 lb), a 100 kg (220 lb) reduction over the V8 Vantage S.
