Aston Martin Vantage AMR Revealed — The Final Goodbye To Natural Aspiration

Aston Martin has revealed the Vantage AMR, as it bids goodbye to the current Vantage.

British carmaker Aston Martin has revealed the Vantage AMR, a race-inspired limited-run swansong model for its Vantage sports car. The Aston Martin Vantage AMR is limited to just 300 models, with 200 powered by the 4.7-litre V8 engine and the rest by the 6.0-litre V12.

The Aston Martin Vantage AMR is the work of the British marque's motorsports arm, Aston Martin Racing (AMR) which was established in 2004. The Vantage AMR is the second AMR model based on the Vantage after the Vantage AMR Pro which is restricted to just 7 units.

DriveSpark Thinks!

The Aston Martin Vantage AMR is the perfect sendoff for the current-generation of the Vantage before the next generation arrives with engines from Mercedes-AMG. For those looking to experience a naturally aspirated Aston, this may very well be the last chance.
