The Vantage AMR is the first series production derivative of Aston Martin’s new race-inspired performance range.
Launched at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, AMR amplifies and accentuates the sporting prowess of the British marque’s road cars, by taking inspiration or direct influence from Aston Martin Racing’s participation in the FIA World Endurance Championship, a series with which the marque tasted world championship success.
The Vantage AMRs are offered both with 430bhp V8 or 595bhp – up from 565bhp – V12 powertrain options. Deliveries are scheduled to commence in Q4 2017.
Both engines are fitted with automated sequential manual paddle-shift transmissions, or for the purist, six and seven-speed manual gearboxes in the V8 and V12 Vantage AMRs respectively.
Both V8 and V12 Vantage AMR models are available in both Coupe and Roadster body styles in selected markets, with recommended retail prices starting from £97,995 in the UK and €126,995 in Germany.
