The 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage N24 racecar was designed subsequently in 2005 as a stock car, and it has its foundations firmly on the critically acclaimed V8 Vantage road car. The car was named after the "N*rburgring 24-hour race", which it has done very well in a couple of times, and it is one of the most exacting and assiduous racing circuits in the world. The N24 is only constructed toward European specifications, and it was given a multitude of alterations, upgrades, and changes to make it on the same plane as any other car in competitive racing. The car was only produced as a limited production vehicle, and only built by hand, which is the Aston Martin stamp of extensive fine craftsmanship.

The V8 Vantage N24's entire interior has been outfitted for optimum racing design, as little is left within the interior of the car. Items removed are all typical interior adornments e.g. airbags, air condition, embellishments, and seats. The facia molding is kept and is adjusted into Alcantara, plus a "Recaro Pole Position" competition seat is added to the car, with a passenger seat as an option, and a quick release steering wheel is fitted with suede trimmings, which is added as standard.

The N24's engine is a 4.3 litre V8 has been changed to fortify throttle performance and replication by lightening and balancing the flywheel, the connecting rods, the pistons, and the crankshaft. The cylinder heads are redone by all the exhaust and inlet ports, which have been smoothed to advance the overall compression ratio. Also the engine regulator system was recalibrated for improved gas flow. The N24 also has a open flowing exhaust system with "ITG cylindrical foam air filters", and a lightweight rear muffler minus any skirt valves. The V8 Vantage's dry sump lubrication method is retained in order to assist with oil spillage while extreme cornering. The overall effect equated to a maximum horsepower of 410bhp (305kW) at 7500rpm, which is a 30bhp growth over the V8 Vantage, and a maximum torque of 425Nm (313lb-ft).

The transmission of the N24 is the traditional six speed manual, equipped with a "breather catch tank", along with a "Valeo twin-plate cerametallic clutch" (215mm) with a lightweight flywheel, entirely to powertrain formula.
