Aston Martin......Rally Car??
Aston Martin Racing — a partnership between Prodrive and Aston Martin — has developed what they call the "world's most exclusive rally car." Called the Aston Martin Rally GT. the car is designed for independent rally teams with more-than-modest budgets.
As part of its development program, the Rally GT has already competed in three French Rally Championship events, coming second in the Series GT class on its debut at the Lyon to Charbonniers Rally. As with the DBR9, the Rally GT uses a standard road car chassis which is fitted with a Prodrive-designed roll cage for safety and increased torsional rigidity. The engine is closely based on the all alloy road car 4.3 litre V8 unit but has been tuned to make it more flexible and responsive for the demands of rallying.
