A brief history of the Vantage GT3
 
Developed by Aston Martin Racing and Prodrive as the successor to the DBRS9, the V12 Vantage GT3 began testing in 2011 and entered competition in 2012. It brought the compact Vantage body together with a naturally aspirated 6.0 litre V12, combining Aston Martins established endurance racing experience with the demands of international customer GT3 competition. Its bonded aluminium structure, lightweight bodywork and carefully positioned engine provided the basis for a balanced racing car. A six speed Xtrac sequential transmission with paddle shift, racing ABS and traction control complemented the V12 powertrain. The factory specification quoted more than 600 bhp and 700 Nm, with actual competition output governed by the applicable regulations and Balance of Performance.
 
The model became a mainstay of British GT and international endurance racing. By September 2018, Aston Martin recorded 22 British GT victories, 63 podium finishes and three drivers championships for the V12 Vantage GT3. Its place in the marques front line customer programme was subsequently taken by the next generation Vantage GT3 for 2019, giving the naturally aspirated V12 car a distinct identity within Aston Martins racing lineage. Production was limited to 46 cars in the original series, according to Aston Martins 2020 retrospective. A further newly built V12 Vantage GT3 was included in the Vantage Legacy Collection announced that year, bringing the documented count to 47 including that special commission.
