I'm hoping someone can educate me a bit about the difference between a 2016 Vantage GT and a GTS version of the same year.

It appears there were only 100 GTS models made that year, divided into Sport and Lux trim packages.

Then there are the GT Vantages, that appear to all be in the racing heritage inspired two color liveries. I'm unsure if these were a "limited" run, but they don't seems to have the "X out of 100" door sill plates that the GTS models have.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks in advance.

 

GT is the stripped down version of the vantage that was 100k new... the GTS is fully loaded IIRC and comes with all the luxury bells and whistles and was around 150k new

 

Interesting!

So the GT is a lesser optioned, non-limited run vehicle, BUT it's decked out in racing livery homage paint schemes.

Horsepower and curb weights are identical then. Putting aside the fact that some high-end options, like heated seats, would weigh more, of course.

 

There were a handful of 2016 Vantage GT models produced. Most of them were built for the 2015 model year. The GT was only available with 5 exterior colors and 2 interior colors. All 100 GTS on the other hand were produced as a 2016 model.
Here is a list of differences between GTS Sport and Lux,

LUX:

• 5-Spoke Silver Wheel
• Comfort Suspension
• Piano Black Fascia
• Gloss Black Splitter and Diffuser
• Bright Grille
• Magnum Silver Mesh
• Bright Window Surround
• Bright Tailpipes
• Silver Headlight Bezels
• Bright Side Strakes
• V8 S Leather Interior Trim
• Bright Interior Detailing
• Glass Switches
• Silver Pedals
• Silver Paddleshifts
• Chrome gearknob surround
• Memory Seats
• Colour-Keyed Leather Steering Wheel
• Bang & Olufsen Sound System

SPORT:

• 5-Spoke Graphite Wheel
• Sport Suspension (Coupe Only)
• Carbon Fibre Fascia
• Carbon Fibre Splitter and Diffuser
• Black Grille
• Black Mesh
• Black Window Surround
• Black Tailpipes
• Black Headlight Bezels
• Carbon Side Strakes
• Plisse Alcantara Seat / Door Inserts
• Black Interior Detailing
• Plastic Switches
• Black Pedals
• Black Paddleshifts
• Carbon gearknob surround
• Alcantara Steering Wheel
• Premium Audio

Additional Carbon Fiber exterior options such as mirrors were only available on the Sport. The Sport was also limited to just Obsidian Black or Argento Grey interior leather trim. There was never a graphics pack available from the order sheet for the GTS.

 

Norbert,

Thank you so much for the detailed response!

VERY helpful!

Now I'm wondering if there were LESS than 100 2016 GTs built. That would be ironic since the GTS cars sport the "X out of 100" sill plates.....

 

One member shared their GTS purchase years back:

Now THAT's a pretty GTS spec!

Yellow calipers and CF door handles are awesome!

 

too bad her car got totaled in an accident

 

Damn!

Hate to hear that!

 

Of course, you can always add the livery to a GTS.

Very unusual color!!

I like it!

 

You guys referring to the one at Mories? I am hoping a friend has some interest in it. Looks like a great car for the money

 

If the one at Morie's was Diavolo Red it has just recently been sold.

 

I think it was that one. They need to update their site quicker!

 

Agreed!

Dealers seem waaaaay to slow do that these days.
