If James Bond Ever Did FIA GT3 Racing

2012 Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3
Say hello to Aston Martin's new GT3 racer: the V12 Vantage GT3. Based off the remarkable V12 Vantage and set to replace the DBRS9, this British track screamer will be using an upgraded 6.0-liter V12 engine from the standard V12 Vantage. Horsepower has been increased from 510 to 600. The engine has been mated to a 6-speed Xtrac paddle-operated gearbox and race-honed ABS and traction control. The car will weigh less than 2.5 tons and hit top speeds of about 194 MPH. Only 26 examples will be built with deliveries starting in early July. Unfortunately, James Bond won't be driving any of them. But, if he were to drive one, it would look like this: no drama, no decals, no nothing. Just pure Quantum Silver metallic paint so that he can blend in with the crowd in order to achieve first place. How cool would that be?
