2024 Aston Martin Vantage F1 Safety Car

Aston Martin is bringing innovation to the front of the Formula 1^® grid in 2024 with its most driver-focused Vantage ever. Perfectly tuned and uniquely equipped to lead the pinnacle of motorsport around the Grand Prix^™ circuits of the world, the new Vantage is ready to take up its leading role as an Official FIA Safety Car of Formula 1^®.

A specially equipped version of the high-performance Vantage will lead all 20 F1^® cars on the formation lap for this weekend’s FORMULA 1^® STC SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX 2024, before taking its place at the exit of the pit lane, ready to roar into action should it be required to intervene and control the pace of the F1^® race.

Revealed just three weeks ago alongside its ‘Brothers in Speed’ - the Vantage GT3 racer and AMR24 F1^® challenger - the new Vantage is an authentic, unadulterated celebration of pure performance, engineered to deliver maximum thrills with maximum confidence and perfectly reflects the most dynamic period in Aston Martin’s 111-year history.

Powered by a potent, hand-built 4.0 Twin-Turbo V8 engine, the new Vantage is the fastest of its breed, delivering a 30% increase on power over the previous model, ensuring the Vantage Safety Car is quick off the line, every time. Such is the performance of the new road-going Vantage, it required no engine upgrade, no changes to its cooling system and no upgrade in braking performance to adapt it for its role as FIA Safety Car. It was born for this role.
