Aston Martin Racing revealed the first official sketch pics of the new green model Vantage GT2 racing car, running on either standard race fuel or E85 bioethanol.
Known as the Vantage GT2, the new car is based on the V8 engined Aston Martin Vantage road car.
The new car will mean Aston Martin is the only manufacturer to offer cars in every GT racing category: GT1 – DBR9; GT2 – Vantage GT2; GT3 – DBRS9; GT4 – Vantage N24.
And it's the first time Aston Martin Racing to design a car run on either standard race fuel or E85 bio-ethanol, after the successfully converting a standard Aston Martin DBRS9 to run on E85.
"The new Vantage GT2 completes our product portfolio for 2008 with competitive cars now available in every category. Thanks to our experience with the DBRS9, we have been able to develop a bio-ethanol fuelled version, which will be eligible to compete in an increasing number of series now accommodating this greener fuel, including the American Le Mans Series.", Robin Brundle, Aston Martin Racing's new managing director said that.
Aston Martin chairman, David Richards, will be announcing Aston Martin Racing's 2008 plans at the Autosport International show on Thursday 10 January at 10.45 am.
