Modern automobile industry is going towards the green future that it sees as the best viable option for the future. Even the most beautiful and grandest cars of the modern era are taking up the conversion to greener bio-fuels. Even Aston Martin is no different in that regard. Aston Martin Racing has revealed the first official pictures of the Vantage GT2. Based on the V8 engine, Aston Martin Vantage and designed to run on both standard and E85 bio-ethanol fuel, the new race car will make its debut at the Le Mans Series at Barcelona on 5 April 2008.
The all new green car is not just a vehicle that would steal your thunder, but would also save your bills, by making sure you do not spend too much on the fossil fuels. The all new technology would ensure that you would not only spend more on the conventional fuel, but also pave path towards greener future. The addition of the Vantage GT2 gives Aston Martin Racing a full complement of cars covering each of the four categories in the FIA GT Championship: GT1 – DBR9; GT2 – Vantage GT2; GT3 – DBRS9; GT4 – Vantage N24.
Aston Martin converted the V12 DBRS9 to run on E85 during the 2007 season, becoming the first bio-fuelled car to win a major motor sport event in Britain in June. The GT2 however, is the company’s first race car designed from scratch to run on bio-ethanol. This is really a good thing for the future of bio-diesel and it would mean a lot for the future of green. Aston Martin is doing a fine job with the green technologies and as usual it looks great too.
