First off: the Aston Martin V8 Vantage AMR-Pro. Based on last year’s GTE winner and powered by a 500-hp V8, it is the final form of ye olde Vantage V8. Yes, that hood and wing came from the GTE race car.

It forms part of the 2-car line revealed by the new AMR performance arm of Aston’s Q-branch, and they tuned the Rapide, too. Eh. Not a wagon. Otherwise, AMR will be Gaydon’s AMG.
Up next: the Porsche 991 GT3.
Now it’s got the 4-liter sixpack from the RS car, and it’s MANUAL BABY!!! The biggest kicker here is if the options list had a rear wing delete. It’s also got a new Cup front end. Which works fine, I guess, but it’s not kawaii.

Like I said, supercar heaven.

The 991.1 GT3 was better looking, but the .2 will be fantastic to drive.

As described by the head of the GT program, the 991.2 is “less feminine looking”
