About the 2017 Aston Martin Vantage GT8 in Forza Horizon
Modern sports cars layer real-world competition refinements onto road-legal chassis — bigger brakes, smarter LSDs, faster shift logic. 2017 Aston Martin Vantage GT8 represents that lineage. Forza Horizon's physics model captures the weight transfer character that distinguishes machines like this from straight-line specials.
2010s saw turbocharging, hybridization, and active aero arrive at every tier. Aston Martin adopted these on the Vantage GT8 platform with results visible in lap times.
