Vantage N24
Designed for Racing
The Vantage N24’s foundation, the acclaimed V8 Vantage, is the perfect platform to create a competitive racing car.
Under the bonnet, the engine is modified to enhance throttle response and outright performance. The crankshaft, con rods and pistons have all been lightened and rebalanced; the cylinder heads are re-profiled, with inlet and exhaust ports smoothed; the compression ratio optimised; and the engine management system recalibrated for race use. The Vantage N24 also has a free flow exhaust system and air filters. The standard V8 dry sump lubrication system is retained, helping to prevent oil surge during extreme cornering. The result is 305 kW (410 bhp) at 7,500 rpm – a 22 kW (30 bhp) increase over the standard car.
The Vantage N24 can be supplied with either a six-speed manual transmission or a Sportshift transmission with paddle controls. A Valeo twin-plate cerametallic racing clutch and lightweight flywheel complete the powertrain specification.
