Description
We are delighted to offer for sale this one owner, 1, 700 mile Aston Martin GT8 Coupe.
With just 150 examples produced for a global market, the GT8 was intended as the ultimate expression of Aston Martins hugely successful V8 Vantage.
Offered with a choice of either manual or Sportshift transmission, GT8 featured very little in common with its more-standard Vantage sibling. With each body panel bespoke and specific to the GT8 and crafted from carbon-fibre, the styling drew heavily on Aston Martins success on-track with their immense GTE race version of the Vantage. With its considerably wider and vented arches and lower stance with front splitters and a huge carbon fibre rear wing, GT8 resembles more race car than road car and proves the old adage that ‘racing does indeed improve the breed’.
This exceptionally low mileage example was ordered and specified by its current keeper and remains in immaculate condition as you would expect throughout. Complete with a full Aston Martin service history from the supplying dealer, the most recent service and MOT having just been completed, this GT8 is offered with the remaining balance of an extended Aston Martin factory warranty.
With owners invited to specify options for their GT8 at Aston Martins in-house design studio, the owner chose his specification with the Halo Paint scheme at huge expense to match the launch edition GT12. Finished in Stratus White paintwork with Californian Poppy accents, the list of optional extras includes but is not limited to the following,
Full Carbon Fibre Aero Pack
Lightweight Seats with Electric Adjustment
5-Spoke Lightweight Forged Alloy wheels
7-Speed Sportshift II Automated Transmission
Halo Paint Scheme including Orange Accent
Orange painted Brake calipers
Carbon Fibre Front Grill
Exposed Carbon Fibre Boot and Lamp Infill
Carbon Fibre Bonnet Badge
With the Halo Scheme finish to the exterior paintwork and Aero Pack comprising extensive use of additional carbon fibre, the interior is matched with Pure Black leather and Alcantara lightweight seats finished with exposed carbon fibre to the dashboard and doors together with orange leather door pulls. The Californian Poppy paint accents are further mirrored with Orange Coarse stitching to the interior environment.
With full PPF paint protection applied from new, the main bonnet and roof accents in Orange and Gulf livery are completely removable and photographs are available should anyone wish to see the ‘before and after’ effects.
GT8 represents the final and ultimate development of their most popular and successful model to date before the use of AMG derived powerplants. No. 16 of just 90 UK right hand drive examples and the only GT8 to be personally signed off by Aston Martin CEO at the time, Andy Palmer, this example is in as new condition throughout and deserves inspection.
Please enquire for further details.
