Are racing cars ACTUALLY FAST? Aston Martin DRAG RACE

Modification your car with Carwow:

It's time for a mega Aston Martin Vantage head-to-head!

We have actually got Mat in the V12 Vantage (launched in 2010), and he's going up against a Vantage GT8 and a Vantage GT4 race automobile! The concern is, which Vantage will triumph? Let's take a more detailed look at the stats.

Beginning with the V12 Vantage, it was launched in 2010, and it's powered by a 5.9-litre naturally-aspirated V12 that provides 517hp and 570Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manually and the vehicle weighs in at 1,680 kg. Since today, it's worth around ₤ 80,000.

Up next is the Vantage GT8. It's packing a 4.7-litre NA V8, and this produces 446hp and 490Nm. It sends this power to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual, and it suggestions the scales at 1,510 kg. As of today, it's worth ₤ 150,000.

Then, lastly, we pertain to the Vantage GT4 race car. It's powered by the exact same 4-litre twin-turbo V8 discovered in the Vantage roadway car, however the power output is restricted to 476hp and 639Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed auto transmission, and it's the lightest automobile here, at 1,500 kg. It has a value of ₤ 250,000.

So all 3 cars are quite equally matched, but could the oldest automobile here take a win? There's just one way to discover … LET'S RACE!

Thanks to everyone who assisted set up this race:

      ​@Al_Lergic I don’t believe so – it was just an evolution of the AJ-V8 block.

      ​@danmagheru it is just another bored out version of the 4.3 V8 which is related to the AJ-V8 .

    A 15 year old Aston Martin that only lost 50k in value is the real surprise here.

      Maybe to it’s limited production. If i’m not mistaken, even the GT12 are starting to increase it’s value then when it was new.

      A lot of people are saying Mat jumped on the second drag race. I also thought so when I saw it first. But I put it to 0.25x and screen recorded it. It turns out to be a very marginal jump, if any.ni personally think that the movement was only the car dumping the clutch. Otherwise the most you can say is an extremely marginal jump.
