A track focused V12 saloon doesn't make much sense on paper, but it does on the road 😍
hypercars, with the rest of the line-up getting sportier variants with questionable lime green highlights and the AMR suffix.
Makes sense, right? The company has a long history of endurance racing that, until the launch of the AMR sub-brand, wasn’t all that well represented in the firm’s lineup. Naturally, the V12-engined DB11 and both old andgenerations of Vantage were given the AMR treatment. Less obvious was the Rapide AMR.
In that regard, the Rapide AMR didn’t make a while lot of a sense. But when you consider that it was more a farewell to the company’s four-door saloon, it’s understandable why Aston wanted to send the Rapide off in style. And boy, did it put the work in. Up front is the same 5.9-litre V12 from the limited-run Vantage GT12, developing 603hp and 456lb ft of torque.
It needed them, too, with the AMR tipping the scales at a smidgen under two tonnes. So it’s no four-door GT3 RS then, butstill found the AMR “more engaging and more satisfying to drive, while still immensely relaxing, cossetting and cool when required.” Find one in the right colour combination and the Rapide’s epilogue could very well be all the Aston Martin you could ever want.we have here.
