The 2019 Aston Martin DB11 AMR

When Aston Martin introduced AMR in 2018 in Geneva, it stated the goal was to have a racing/performance edition for every car it produced. Quite a goal for an automaker with DNA already so firmly rooted in racing. Well, taking the green flag for the AMR badge in 2019 is the Aston Martin DB11 AMR, a more powerful, racing enhanced version of the DB11.

Impressive Power

2018-Aston-Martin-DB11-AMR-tampa-Dimmitt-engine The DB11 AMR is equipped with a muscular 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 engine. To fully appreciate what the AMR designation means in terms of power, it can be easiest to compare it to its DB11 sibling. While the DB11 produces an impressive 600 hp, the DB11 AMR coaxes another 30 hp, an increase to 630 hp. This improves the zero to 60 time from 3.9 to 3.5 seconds and moves the needle upward for its top speed from 200 mph to 208 mph. Perhaps though, what is a bit more impressive than the increase in power is the cleaner transitions between gears the improved 8-speed auto transmission provides. 2018-Aston-Martin-DB11-AMR-tampa-Dimmitt-front-quarter-driving The DB11 AMR V12 engine generates a symphony of sounds that stirs the senses. Even at idle, its deep hum provides a sense of anticipation. In full voice, it is the perfect soundtrack to a remarkable driving experience.

Precisely Balanced

2018-Aston-Martin-DB11-AMR-tampa-Dimmitt-wheels AMR is more than producing more raw power. It is about producing a vehicle that is in perfect balance. The DB11 AMR's chassis has been precisely tuned and modified for superior handling. The rear subframe is firmer and engine mounts that have been upgraded. These upgrades provide improved handling without being too tight or sacrificing the quality of your ride. Drivers select from GT, Sport and Sport Plus driving modes, each providing a slightly different driving experience. Forged alloy wheels complete the balanced functionality while adding a distinctive flair to the DB11 AMR's more aggressive appearance.

Building the AMR Brand

2018-Aston-Martin-DB11-AMR-tampa-Dimmitt-interior Aston Martin is building the AMR brand through use of its distinctive Aston Martin Racing logo and slightly more aggressive styling. You do, after all, want the world to know you've made the decision to invest in this performance-enhanced edition of the already attractive DB11. Headlights, tail lights and the grille are trimmed in dark monochrome and carbon fiber side strakes and hood vents add to its distinctive appearance. Crafted stitched interiors with AMR logos in the headrests add to the cockpit feel of the DB11 AMR. There are a limit of 100 AMR Signature Editions produced in distinctive stirling green and lime colors with less noticeable versions available in more muted colors.

All-New 2020 Aston Martin DBX

When one thinks of Aston Martin, one may conjure visions of James Bond, road rallies and quick, smaller performance cars turning nimbly along a racecourse. One certainly doesn't envision a lifted, five-door SUV with off-road and towing capabilities. Soon, that may begin to change as Aston Martin prepares to unleash its first-ever SUV, the 2020 Aston Martin DBX. It has taken just a bit for Aston Martin to join the tsunami of automakers entering the SUV market. Of course, they placed some challenging objectives in their own path. They chose to maintain the same standards engineered into their iconic performance cars. They focused on reaching higher levels of real-world off-road and towing capabilities. They were also keenly aware the DBX would be an SUV intended for use as upscale family transportation. To these ends, the 2020 Aston Martin DBX has been tested on the limitless speeds of the Autobahn and in the heat of the desert of the Middle East. It has been exposed to the Arctic air and Alpine passes. It is just possible it soon could be ready for a cul-de-sac near you. The 2020 Aston Martin DBX keeps the brand's trademark oblong grill, although now in front of a larger, taller, lifted vehicle with five doors and room for at least four inside. The DBX shares a platform with the DB11 and is engineered with an all aluminum body. A dovetail spoiler serves as the SUV's punctuation mark. Coming or going, this is a vehicle with a distinct Aston Martin personality. In-between, it raises eyebrows. While the brand is being understandably coy with the details, the interior of the 2020 Aston Martin DBX will most certainly contain natural wood appointments, real metal trim, and fine leather. One can expect the latest in technological comforts as well. Fueled by a Mercedes-AMG V-8 engine, its power has been estimated to be upwards to 700 hp. This is not an SUV that will under perform in any area. [gallery size="full" columns="2" ids="307378,307381"] Aston Martin has been referred to as a boutique automaker, producing just over 4,000 vehicles annually. The DBX is expected to help take the brand to the next level, where ultimately Aston Martin will be producing only fully electric vehicles. While the journey still has a way to go, the 2020 DBX is an exciting step along the path.

Aston-Martin-Rapide-E

2019 Aston Martin Rapide E

After making its debut at the Shanghai Motor Show, the 2020 Aston Martin Rapide E has dominated automotive-related conversations especially when it comes to electric cars. Expectations are high as the automaker has promised its Rapide E will mimic the feel and character of the Rapide AMR. It certainly has the style and performance to earn its Aston Martin pedigree. This is an automobile for a chosen few, those who want to own a part - and be a part - of automotive history. Redefining Power The 2020 Aston Martin Rapide E redefines power for the iconic automaker. There is no engine, gearbox, exhaust system or fuel tank. Instead, 5600 ion cells are packed in a carbon-fiber Kevlar producing 65kWh of power. Its two rear electric motors produce 700 lb-ft of torque and 449kW. That converts to 602 hp of mechanical power. This is actually six more horsepower and 236 more lb-ft of torque than the Rapide AMR. The Rapide E can accelerate from zero to 60 in 3.9 seconds (or less) and has a top speed of 155mph. This acceleration and speed without the roar of an Aston Martin engine is both thrilling and a bit surreal. It has a range of nearly 200 miles between charges, with a high-power onboard charger completing the job in about three hours. Wind Shredding Exterior Styling With no engine to cool, Aston Martin designers and engineers were free to create an automobile that would slice through the air, as opposed to manipulating it. This has resulted in a stylish new front end treatment and sleek design. A larger rear diffuser results from the Rapide E's lack of an exhaust system and redesigned underfloor. Forged aluminum wheels add to the aerodynamics of the Rapide E. Informative Tech Keeps You Connected Inside the 2020 Rapide E keeps you informed and connected with a 10” digital screen that shares details of your Aston Martin's performance. Easily and conveniently monitor the state of the battery's charge, real-time energy consumption, and motor power levels. The cabin features the luxury amenities you would expect from Aston Martin including liberal use of carbon fiber trim. The Rapide E also features remote monitoring. The First of a New Generation The Aston Martin Rapide E represents the first of the British sportscar maker's new generation of electric vehicles. It begins the move to the brand's goal of moving to all electrified vehicles by 2025. It is also the first Aston Martin to be produced at the company's new state-of-the-art St. Athan plant in Wales. Production of the Aston Martin Rapide E is extremely limited and will be available for a chosen few. It is a rare opportunity to play a role in the automotive history of a legendary brand.
