Aston Martin Racing unveiled the sketch of their latest GT2 racing car. It is designed to use either ordinary race fuel or E85 bio-ethanol, thanks to the successful engineering that was completed for the DBRS9 in 2007.  Aston Martin is the only manufacturer that can offer cars in every GT racing category: GT1 – DBR9; GT2 – Vantage GT2; GT3 – DBRS9; GT4 – Vantage N24.

“The new Vantage GT2 completes our product portfolio for 2008 with competitive cars now available in every category” said Robin Brundle, Aston Martin Racing’s new managing director. “Thanks to our experience with the DBRS9, we have been able to develop a bio-ethanol fueled version, which will be eligible to compete in an increasing number of series now accommodating this greener fuel, including the American Le Mans Series.”
