Calling 2024 Aston Martin Vantage an evo an “understatement” – Sorensen
According to Sorensen, the changes made to the Aston Martin Vantage GT3, originally introduced in 2018, are so substantial that it feels like a completely new car rather than just a mid-cycle refresh. Many refer to it as the Evo, but Sorensen believes it’s more than that, almost considering it a brand-new model due to the extensive modifications. Despite sharing some components with the previous model, the new Vantage GT3 has undergone significant upgrades in suspension, aerodynamics, and electronics. The recent debut in the World Endurance Championship showcased the new car’s potential, with notable improvements in tire management and drivability, as highlighted by driver Ian James. Although facing challenges in its IMSA SportsCar Championship debut, the Vantage found success in the WEC, securing a podium finish in its first outing. Sorensen expressed his satisfaction with the car’s performance, praising its speed and potential as one of the fastest GT cars on the track.
