Nestled in a secluded valley in the south of Spain is the Ascari Race Resort. Celebrated as one of the world's most beautiful tracks, the private 3.2-mile ribbon of perfectly smooth blacktop challenges drivers with 26 corners, 10-degree climbs and 18-degree banks as it weaves through the mature oak trees that dot the landscape. Named after Alberto Ascari, the first double world Formula 1 champion, the well-manicured decade-old venue is the type of circuit enthusiasts fantasize about.2011 Aston Martin V8 Vantage S - Back Side

Aston Martin Racing has launched a new Vantage GT4 for 2011. The Vantage GT4 is based on the V8 Vantage and is powered by a remapped 4.7 liter engine.
For 2011 the Vantage GT4 gets a new splitter that increases downforce at the front of the car, as well as channeling cooling air to the brakes and radiator. Outback the GT4 gets the V12 Vantage's larger boot 'flip', which works together with a new carbon fiber diffuser and rear underfloor to create an area of low pressure under the rear of the car, to increase downforce. For the first time buyers can choose a race-developed Bosch ABS and traction control system.
Aston Martin Racing has built and sold more than 80 Vantage GT4s in the last two years.2011 Aston Martin Vantage GT4 Picture, Photo
