07 November 2024,Frankfurt, Germany: Aston Martin is celebrating the historic 2024 Crowdstrike 24 Hours of Spa race win in June 2024 by Vantage GT3 partner team Comtoyou Racing, with the launch of the limited-edition new Vantage AMV24 Edition. Only 24 examples of this unique specification Vantage will be created - designed and built exclusively for clients in Continental Europe.
Finished in Aston Martin's unique Podium Green paint, the new Vantage AMV24 Edition is the latest exciting creation from Q by Aston Martin, the British ultra luxury performance brand's in-house bespoke division. The unique exterior specification of Vantage AMV24 Edition also includes an Aston Martin Racing (AMR) Lime livery featuring vent surrounds, mirror caps and a racing line running the length of car, accentuating the motorsport-inspired character of the 665PS/800Nm Aston Martin sports car. Gloss Black finishes to the lower and upper body are matched to striking 21" Y-Spoke Wheels in Satin Black, completing the Vantage AMV24 Edition's overtly sporting appearance.
The theme of exclusivity continues inside the car with a sill plaque featuring a unique Vantage AMV24 Edition logo, designed by Q by Aston Martin. Matching headrest embroidery, a dark chrome jewelry pack and contrast stitching in AMR Lime across the Black ventilated seats deliver an interior experience reminiscent of the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 race car, which was launched alongside the new Vantage sports car and the AMR24 F1® challenger at the famous Silverstone race circuit in February this year.
The new Vantage AMV24 Edition shares its technical platform and suite of advanced technologies with the new Vantage - the definitive front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car. With a perfect 50:50 weight distribution, the chassis and powertrain of Vantage are tuned to deliver maximum thrills and driver engagement.
Capable of 0-60mph in 3.4 seconds and delivering a top speed of 202mph, technical highlights of Vantage include industry-leading Active Vehicle Dynamics, Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers, Electronic Rear Differential (E-diff) and AML-specific 21" Michelin Pilot S5 tyres. An all-new interior architecture and bespoke, state-of-the-art infotainment system set new standards of quality, style and sophistication.
Aston Martin Vantage AMV24 Edition owners are guaranteed a personalised ownership experience that goes beyond the spectacular livery and interior appointments of this thrilling performance car. Each owner of the Vantage AMV24 Edition will be hosted at the 2025 24 Hours of Spa race by Aston Martin Europe, where they will be given the chance to explore the performance of the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 heart of Vantage and its array of advanced vehicle dynamics technologies on the famous circuit ahead of the main race event.
Andreas Bareis, Aston Martin Europe Regional President said: "The new Aston Martin sports car portfolio has been revolutionized in 2024, with every one of our new cars offering class leading performance, advanced technologies and exquisite luxury. Some of our most discerning clients value rarity and exclusivity above all else, which is why our Q by Aston Martin team have crafted the fantastic new Vantage AMV24 Edition.
"Owning the Vantage AMV24 Edition will mean owning a unique piece of history. The Aston Martin Vantage GT3 win at Spa this year was the first overall win for an Aston Martin car since 1948. I congratulate and thank the Comtoyou team for an exceptional victory.
"The thrilling prospect of driving the new Vantage AMV24 Edition on track ahead of next year's race in front of 100,000 fans will be one to savor for its group of new owners. Every element of owning and driving Vantage AMV24 Edition will be memorable."
The Aston Martin GT3 Victory at Spa-Francorchamps in 2024 was the first in more than 40 years for a British-built car, and the first overall victory for Aston Martin in the modern GT-era of the event. Aston Martin works drivers Mattia Drudi (ITA), Marco Sørensen (DEN), and Nicki Thiim (DEN), alongside Aston Martin partner team Comtoyou Racing, combined to deliver a victory seventy-six years in the making.
Deliveries to clients in Continental Europe of the exclusive new Aston Martin Vantage AMV24 Edition will begin in the first quarter of 2025.
