Aston Martin has taken the wraps off the new GT3 alongside its roadgoing version — the 2025 Aston Martin Vantage. The new GT3 racecar boasts significant updates further reinforcing its capabilities to compete in the GT series across the globe.
Back in October 2023, Aston Martin bid farewell to the Vantage GTE racecar after clinching 52 class wins and 11 world titles during its stint between 2012 and 2023. The new GT3 is now ready to carry forward the lineage set by its cousin in the world of endurance racing. The new Aston Martin GT3 will compete in FIA World Endurance Championship, IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the Fanatec GT World Challenge.
The new Aston Martin GT3 is the first product to roll out under the collaborative efforts of Aston Martin Racing (AMR) and Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT). The new GT3 complies with all the regulations of GT racing while also offering a more forgiving driving experience to both professional and novice drivers.
To have confidence across race tracks, driving conditions, drivers and tyre compounds, Aston Martin has made extensive changes to the GT3 and one of these changes is aerodynamics. Extensive use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) achieved the desired targets for aerodynamic performance and efficiency – while remaining within the FIA’s downforce limits – and input from Aston Martin’s Design department ensured this pure function was matched by perfect form.
Aston Martin has taken feedback from multiple drivers and put the new GT3 through a gruelling 30-hour test to fine-tune the racecar, which is suitable for all kinds of drivers and track conditions. Since the new GT3 rides with a ton of downforce, it is imperative to have stable braking performance. To reduce the front nose-dive under braking, Aston Martin has stiffened up the rear suspension while also meticulously tuning the damping rates.
Like the previous racecars, the new GT3 wears the green racing livery that we are used to seeing in Formula 1. The new GT3 also boasts a larger front radiator grille like its road-going sibling. In addition to the common link between the two, the new larger radiator grille also enables the engine to breathe better and channel more air to cool the brakes.
