Aston Martin Vantage Gr.4

Your friendly guide to the Aston Martin Vantage Gr.4 in Gran Turismo Sport. Learn about its colors, description, acquisition, and trivia to master this balanced FR racer.

Alright, let's talk about the Aston Martin Vantage Gr.4. It's a pretty sweet ride based on the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S '15, and you'll find it in both Gran Turismo Sport and Gran Turismo 7. Think of it as a well-balanced, easy-to-handle FR (front-engine, rear-wheel drive) race car. ### Colors This car comes in six different paint jobs. They're not named specifically, but you've got some cool options: * Dark Green with Orange accents * Dark Green with Lime Green accents * Dark Green with Red accents * Silver with Yellow accents * Cobalt Blue with Silver accents * Black with White accents ### Description The in-game description from GT7's Brand Central really nails it: "This original Gran Turismo Gr.4 racing car uses a third generation Vantage as a base. Compared to many other FR race cars, it is balanced and easy to handle. The V8 is wonderfully responsive, and the front-rear weight distribution is ideal." Gran Turismo specifically tuned it for Gr.4 regulations, so it's got that special touch. ### Acquisition Getting your hands on the Aston Martin Vantage Gr.4 is pretty straightforward, though it costs a bit: * In Gran Turismo Sport: You can buy it from Aston Martin's Brand Central for 350,000 credits. Alternatively, you could have gotten it by signing a contract with Aston Martin for the Manufacturer Series. Heads up: Since GT Sport's servers are now offline (January 31, 2024) and the last Manufacturer Series race was in December 2021, this contract method is no longer available. * In Gran Turismo 7: It's also available in Brand Central for 350,000 credits. You can also get it by signing a contract with Aston Martin for the Manufacturers Cup. ### Trivia Here are a few interesting tidbits about the Vantage Gr.4: * There was a real-life GT4-spec Vantage of this generation, and this Gr.4 car is very similar. The main difference? The real car is left-hand drive, while the in-game version is right-hand drive. * It uses the OZ Racing Superturismo LM wheels, which you can also find and use in the Livery Editor (GT Sport) or GT Auto (GT7). * In GT Sport, after update 1.23, its short name is often displayed as "V8 Vantage Gr.4" in race results and grids, even though it's still called "Aston Martin Vantage Gr.4" elsewhere. * This car is one of six Gr.4 cars that feature fictional sponsors on its default livery. It actually had the most fictional sponsors (6 unique ones!) until the Aston Martin DBR9 GT1 '10 was added later. So, if you're looking for a stable and responsive Gr.4 car, the Aston Martin Vantage Gr.4 is definitely worth considering!
