The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/aston-martin">Aston Martin</a> Vantage GT4 has only been racing for two years, but in that time has garnered notable accolades: Wins at the N&uuml;rburgring 24 Hours, Spa 24 hours and this year's European GT4 Cup, just to name three.<br />
<br />
The Gaydon firm has made revisions to the 2011 model, incorporating lessons learned from the roadgoing V12 Vantage, including better aerodynamics and greater downforce, as well as a new option that includes racing-tuned ABS and a new traction control system developed by Bosch. No specific numbers were released, but Aston Martin says that it has reworked the GT4's 4.7-liter V8, as well, providing improved horsepower and torque numbers.<br />
<br />
We're sure these new changes will help the GT4 secure a few more wins in the 2011 racing season.
