Aston Martin has already announced plans to offer an
AMR version of every model they make and it appears the company could soon
announce the DB11 AMR.
There’s no word on when the model will be announced
but the existence of the page seems to suggest we’ll be hearing more about it
soon. Until then, we can only speculate about the car. However, the Vantage AMR
and Rapide AMR give us a pretty good idea about what to expect.
The latter model was recently spotted undergoing
testing on the Nürburgring and it featured an aggressive body kit with a new
front fascia and a sportier grille. The car also had a front splitter,
aerodynamic side skirts and a ventilated hood. Other changes included a
modified rear end with a new bumper, an extended spoiler and a large diffuser.
The model was previewed by a concept and it
suggested the Rapide AMR will have a modestly revised interior with carbon
fiber front seats, Alcantara upholstery and Lime Green accents. Since the AMR
sub-brand is focused on performance, there are a handful of changes under the
hood. In the case of the Rapide, the car’s 6.0-liter V12 engine will be tuned
to produce 591 hp. Aston Martin has previously said this will enable
the model to become the “world’s fastest and most thrilling four-door” as it
will be capable of hitting a top speed of 337 km/h.
There’s no word on how much power the DB11 AMR will
have but the standard model offers a twin-twin 4.0-liter V8 with 503 hp and a twin-turbo 5.2-liter V12 developing 600 hp.
