2017 ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE GT8

We are delighted to offer this discreetly specified, ultra-low mileage, ‘as new’ example of Aston Martin’s race inspired sportscar, the limited-edition Vantage GT8.

Inspired and influenced by the V8 Vantage GTE race car, the GT8 was the lightest and most powerful V8 Vantage ever, when launched in April 2016. In addition to the dramatically sculpted, wide bodied carbon fibre bodywork and revised performance orientated chassis, the 4.7 litre V8 engine was upgraded to produce 440bhp. The GT8 was available with either the 6-speed manual or Sportshift III gearbox. This combined with the dramatic weight saving of up to 100 kg (depending upon options chosen), the Vantage GT8 boasted some very impressive performance numbers including 4.4sec 0-62mph and a top speed of 190mph.

Limited to just 150 cars worldwide, predictably all had sold out shortly after being announced in 2016. Just 80 were built for the UK RHD market, 68 of which were 6-speed manual specification.

Much admired by motoring journalists and road testers alike, the profile of this model was further cemented by Aston Martin securing class victory at the gruelling Nurburgring 24 Hours in 2017 in a ‘close to production’ specification Vantage GT8.

The GT8 we are now very excited to offer, is finished in the simple, restrained livery of Scintilla Silver with no ‘Halo’ Pack. The lightweight interior combines luxury fitments and creature comforts with carbon fibre and Pure Black Alcantara. Using data supplied by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust register, we can confirm that just 2 GT8’s were finished in Scintilla Silver, the other of which having Red accents and Chancellor Red stitching, therefore making this example a unique, ‘One of One’.

This manual transmission example was first registered in January 2017. Notable optional extras include: Gloss Carbon aero pack, Exposed Carbon Fibre lower, rear and side valances, Red brake calipers, Stainless Steel Exhaust system, Full length Twill Carbon fascia trim, Vantage GT8 logo headrest embroidery, Front grille carbon, Reversing Camera, Vantage GT8 decklid badge, Lightweight Carbon Fibre Manual seats and 7 spoke Satin Black wheels. A full build specification is available by request.

First supplied to its marque enthusiast owner in January 2017 by Aston Martin Chichester, servicing and maintenance has been carried out annually either by the same dealer or ourselves and having covered under 300 miles and having been protected by full body PPF, the car presents in ‘as new’ condition throughout.

Not only are these Vantage GT8’s rewarding and intoxicating to drive, with their racing heritage, normally aspirated engines combined with 6-speed manual gearboxes, one of the best exhaust notes of all time and very limited production numbers, the model certainly has all the right ingredients for future classic status. Our view? Possibly Aston Martins best ever ‘drivers’ car. Buy one now before they all disappear!

Supplied to its next owner, freshly serviced, to schedule, prepared to our usual exacting standards, with 12 months MOT and 12 months warranty along with a custom fit car cover and model relevant cherished registration number.

Available for viewing and demonstration now at our Hertfordshire showrooms.
