I've never seen this Aston before, and my god is this goodlooking. It's like a Dodge Viper, only pretty... :hihi: :hihi:


This V8 GT Race Car was previewed in the paddock at the 2000 AMOC St John Horsfall race meeting. Whilst not a factory development as such, it has been constructed by David Ellis who has been involved in racing Aston Martins for some time. The car sits on a carbonfibre monocoque tub with a steel tubular front subframe and push rod suspension. It is clothed with a Carbonfibre Body loosely based on a Vantage. The front mounted Aston Martin Virage V8 engine with 4 valves per cylinder and race spec fuel injection, designed to deliver 700 bhp. Weight is an impressively low 850kg.
