THEAston Martin Vantage is dead, long live the Aston Martin Vantage! This is essentially the information that emerges from the manufacturer's arrival in Hypercar in 2025. In parallel with this project, Aston Martin confirms the construction of a new car for the GT3 regulations as well as the GT4 with a view to 2024.
The 2024 Vantage version is expected on the starting grids of the World Endurance Championship (WEC) in the LMGT3 category to replace the GTE, but also in IMSA as well as in the series organized by SRO (GT World Challenge Europe, America, Asia, IGTC, FFSAGT, British GT, etc.).
Aston Martin confirms that this future racing car will be for sale to customer teams to be ready from the start of the 2024 season. “By also confirming Aston Martin's commitment to building a new challenger in GT3 and GT4, we signal our intention to fight for victory at all levels of motor racing today and in the future.”, assures Adam Carter, director of the department Endurance Aston Martin Motorsport.
The Aston Martin Vantage GTE bows out at the end of 2023 with a laudatory track record. Despite a disappointing start to the WEC's GTE Pro class in 2018, the GT assembled by Prodrive won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2020 (GTE Pro, GTE Am), and 2022 (GTE Am), as well as a world crown for Manufacturers, Teams and two Drivers.
The GT3 model was less notable, with no titles in GT World Challenge Europe or in IGTC, but a category success at the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps and the 24 2023 Hours of Daytona in GTD.
