Sorensen feels the changes Aston Martin has made to the Vantage GT3 that was originally introduced in 2018 are so extensive that it effectively feels like a brand-new car and not a mid-cycle refresh.
“A lot of people call it the Evo, I will almost say it's not really [an Evo],” the Dane said.
“It looks a little bit like the old car but there is basically nothing else than where you are sitting on that is the same.
“Just calling it Evo is almost an understatement because basically it's a brand-new car. Everything from suspension and bodywork is literally different.
“There has been more to learn on the car than you would think. Daytona was a perfect example of that where we expected maybe to be a little bit closer, but there is stuff to be worked on with the new car, because it is basically a new car.”
The new Vantage GT3 does share its mechanical underpinnings and its four-litre V8 engine with the previous-generation model and is therefore not homologated as a new car.
However, Aston has comprehensively overhauled the suspension and the aero package, while also introducing a new electronics system to the latest iteration of the Vantage.
