Aston Martin’s most successful sports car, the Vantage, has been selected to become the first product of the company’s performance sub-brand.
The British marque launched AMR, which is the equivalent of AMG or the BMW M division for the Gaydon corporation, earlier this year, and it promises to offer cars that are directly influenced from the firm’s motorsport enterprise.
The latter was already a factor in the development of new products, but the creations from Aston Martin Racing are expected to take things up by a few notches.
Customers will get to choose between a V8 or a V12 engine, but the production is limited to only 300 units in total. Out of those, 100 cars will come with the 12 cylinder engine, while the rest get the V8 configuration. The former comes with 603 HP, while the V8 offers 436 HP.
Six-speed and seven-speed manual gearboxes are offered, but clients can also get an automated sequential manual paddle-shift transmission.
Four beautiful exterior schemes are available for the Vantage AMR. The base colors are White, Black, Blue, and Silver. Meanwhile, the graphic elements are, Orange, Blue, Red, or Gray.
No combinations are allowed between them except for those that were already defined. There’s also a “Halo Pack,” which is inspired by the 2016 World Endurance Championship-winning #95 Vantage GTE, which blends Stirling Green with Lime Green accents.
Each exterior scheme is matched to a different combination of colors for the interior upholstery and its corresponding stitching. Customers will also benefit from lightweight carbon fiber seats as optional equipment, along with many other parts made from the same material. Three finishes are available for the 5-spoke V8 Vantage’s AMR alloy wheels, or for the 10-spoke rims of the V12 model.
Another interesting box on the optional equipment list is a titanium exhaust, which is 14 kilograms lighter than the standard system of the V12 motor, and promises a "sensational sound." The British company has decided to offer both Coupe and Roadster body styles in selected markets.
The most affordable version will start at EUR 126,995 in Germany, and the first cars will be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2017.
