One of the world’s most iconic 24-hour races will serve as the introduction for a new racing Aston Martin.
The Aston Martin Vantage is one of the brand’s most iconic sports cars. It’s got dashing looks, British luxury and racing spirit, and a turbocharged 4-liter V8 engine that gives it world-class performance and dynamism. The latest racing version of the car, the Vantage GT3 has been preparing for the infamously challenging 15.8-mile Nordschleife circuit of the Nürburging to compete in the Nürburgring 24-hour race.

Practice begins for the ADAC TotalEnergies 24h Nürburgring on Friday, May 26, with the race beginning at 4:00 PM CET on Saturday, May 27.
