The next-generation Aston Martin Vantage may not be expensive enough to make this list—the slick coupé starts around $200,000—but its customer race car equivalent costs more than enough. The track-focused vehicle has been heavily modified for endurance racing and features a roll cage, updated suspension, and an all-new aero package that includes a giant rear wing. It’s powered by the same twin-turbocharged 4.0 V-8 as the road car, but the mill has actually been detuned so that it only produces between 500 and 600 hp, the GT3 limit. Aston Martin hasn’t said how many examples it will build but expects to have 30 on race tracks around the world by year’s end.
