rFactor 2 Presents The Aston Martin Vantage GTE

Last week, Studio 397 teased us by tweeting “a fourth player has joined the race”. At that time we could only guess what it meant and hope for new content. So now they pulled the rabbit out of the hat.

Studio 397 proudly presents the Aston Martin Vantage GTE car model which will soon be joining the Porsche 991 RSR, Corvette C7R and BMW M8 GTE on the rFactor 2 GTE grid.

The Aston Martin Vantage GTE is derived from the new Vantage road car, the second sports car to emerge from the company’s ‘Second Century Plan’. Developed in tandem with the road car, the Vantage GTE competes in the 2018/2019 FIA World Endurance Championship Super Season.

Based on the same lightweight aluminum chassis as the road-going Vantage, the car features an HP AMG-derived 4-0-liter turbocharged V8 engine, developed and optimized by Aston Martin Racing to be competitive in world-class GT competition. The Vantage GTE uses a six-speed sequential Xtrac transmission, Ohlins 5-way adjustable dampers, Alcon brakes and runs on Michelin tyres.
