Aston unveils new Vantage racer

By Digby Fullam First Official Pictures 17 November 2008 14:15 Aston Martin’s Vantage N24 has given way to this new GT4 – a race-spec Vantage aimed at pro racers and track day enthusiasts alike. The arrival of the GT4 leaves Aston in the unique position of being the only manufacturer producing cars in each GT class. The new car has been six months in development, with Aston hopeful that it will build on the success of the N24, winner of this year’s Nurburgring 24 Hours.

Jaguar F-Type

The Jaguar F-Type has leaked onto the internet ahead of its official unveiling in Paris on Thursday.

It’s a more compact sports car than the XK, aimed squarely at the BMW Z4, Porsche Boxster and Mercedes SLK.
