Just a little over a year ago, Aston Martin has introduced their new brand Aston Martin Racing or AMR if you prefer. AMR takes technology and inspiration from motorsport to amplify the sporting prowess present across the model range. With enhanced performance, sharper dynamics and more powerful design language, AMR is going to take Aston Martin’s road cars to extremes. The first proof of AMR’s existence is the AMR Rapide, snapped undergoing high-performance testing at Europe’s most challenging test track: the Nürburgring ex-F1 race circuit.
Along with a concept of the AMR Rapide, Aston had released some press information at the 2017 Geneva Show: “The Rapide represents the first tier of AMR, enhancing the four-door sports car with a comprehensive suite of power, chassis and styling upgrades, plus a spectacular new interior treatment.”
The Rapide is featuring “a 600PS version of Aston Martin’s celebrated 6.0-litre naturally aspirated V12 breathing through a new quad exhaust system”. The company speaks about is as “the world’s fastest and most thrilling four-door, capable of 210MPH.” It is said to be “riding on new 21in alloy wheels and featuring a dramatic new full height signature grille, front splitter, side sills, rear diffuser and aero flip on the rear decklid.”
Extensive use of carbon fibre on the exterior, the front seats, centre console and door casings “ensure the Rapide AMR is a fabulous fusion of race car attitude with a luxurious crafted twist.”
