In 2002, Aston Martin introduced the GT & GTA variants of the DB7. These cars were improved and tuned versions of the DB7 Vantage, and were only available in a coupe body style. GTA cars were GT cars, but fitted with an automatic transmission, thus the 'A' at the end of the name. A rare variant of the DB7, just 190 GTs and 112 GTAs were produced.
