Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition.

The Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition is the new powerful sports coupe 2021.
After 60 years, Aston Martin has officially returned to Formula 1.

This is the name of the former Racing Point team this season, as its owner Lawrence Stroll has recently become a shareholder in the British automaker.

In addition, the Aston Martin Vantage supercars are now safety cars in Formula 1 races. And especially for this, the machines were modernized.

And so that the developments are not in vain, on their basis, a commercial special series Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition was created.

The main goal of the engineers was to reduce the lap time, therefore, not only the engine, but also the chassis and aerodynamics were refined.

Other shock absorbers are installed in the suspension, and on the rear axle there are also stiffer springs.

The steering gear has been improved (2.4 turns from lock to lock), the front subframe has been reinforced.

Instead of 20-inch wheels, 21-inch wheels with Pirelli P Zero tires are installed.

The AMG V8 4.0 biturbo engine is boosted modestly: the power has been increased from 510 to 535 hp, and the torque has not changed at all (685 Nm).

But the eight-speed «automatic» ZF recalibrated and now changes gears faster than the base model.

Finally, an additional front splitter, a large rear wing and underbody linings allowed for increased downforce: at maximum speed, the downforce increased by 200 kg.

In addition, the F1 Edition has a further version of the radiator grille with an extended lower section.

Alas, the company does not give lap times on any track, but the standard dynamic characteristics of the coupe have not changed.

The Vantage F1 Edition can accelerate to 100 km / h in 3.6 seconds and reach a maximum of 314 km / h.

In addition, the special version can be ordered with an open body, and in this case its dynamics is slightly different from the base roadster: acceleration to «hundreds» in 3.7 s (instead of 3.8 s), maximum speed — 305 km / h (instead of 306 km / h).
