Its primary alteration is the introduction of the new 4.7-litre V8 that also debuted in the production V8 Vantage.

It has an enlarged 4.7-litre engine and uprated suspension, allowing for increased camber and castor angles.

The brakes have also been uprated with larger diameter front discs and racing pads.

In 2011 Aston Martin upgraded the specification of the Vantage GT4, with better aerodynamics, and increased engine power.

Aerodynamic alterations include, a new front splitter for greater front downforce and greater rear downforce through a redesigned floor, new diffuser and a boot flip.
