HWM Aston Martin is delighted to offer one of the most desirable modern Aston Martins: this exceptionally rare 2017 Vantage GT8, one of just 150 produced worldwide and made rarer still by its coveted six-speed manual transmission.

Created by Aston Martin’s Advanced Operations division and inspired directly by the 2016 V8 Vantage GTE race car, the GT8 was conceived as the lightest and most powerful V8 Vantage of its generation. Extensive carbon-fibre bodywork, track-focused chassis tuning and competition-bred aerodynamics – including its dramatic rear wing – give it extraordinary presence and a wonderfully pure connection between driver, car and road.

At its heart is Aston Martin’s naturally aspirated 4.7-litre V8, producing 440bhp and driving the rear wheels through that engaging manual gearbox. Performance is suitably serious: 0–60mph in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 190mph, accompanied by one of the finest V8 soundtracks ever to leave Gaydon.

This high-specification example has covered just 16,650 miles and is presented in a striking green and lime competition-inspired finish. Carbon lightweight performance seats, a leather and Alcantara interior, black lightweight wheels, vivid lime detailing and the full race-bred visual drama make this a truly special place to be. The whole vehicle has been faithfully protected by Paint Protection Film.

Offered by HWM, the world’s oldest Aston Martin dealership, representing the marque since 1951. The car is Aston Martin Approved and supplied with a 12-month Aston Martin warranty, preparation by factory-trained technicians and the reassurance of genuine Aston Martin expertise.

A full video walkaround, hosted by renowned Aston Martin authority Stuart Parker, is available to explore every detail. Opportunities to acquire a manual GT8 of this calibre are exceptionally rare.
