Aston Martin Vantage GT12: GT3 Name Dropped As Porsche Cries Foul

Aston Martin has renamed its new track-inspired Vantage GT3 this week, christening it with the new name ‘Vantage GT12’.
The change is understood to be the result of a lawyer-backed complaint by Porsche, whose hero 911 GT3 has worn the badge since 1999.
Both cars, 911 GT3 and Vantage GT3 GT12 alike, are track-ready performers inspired by the FIA’s GT3 formula.
Despite this, and the fact that the GT3 name has been associated with models older than the hero 911, Stuttgart remains steadfast.
