The Aston Martin DB11 AMR Is A 630bhp Super GT
If you rather like the idea of a V12 DB11 but find it just a bit too soft, you have two options. You either buy the tauter and lighter V8 DB11, or you wait until the Ferrari 812-rivalling DBS Superleggera is here. But, there is now a third way: the new DB11 AMR.
It’s Aston Martin’s second AMR-branded car - following the Rapide AMR - and we rather like what we see. It has the same 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 as the normal DB11, only here, Aston Martin has given it a little tickle to bring the total output to 630 bhp. With its newfound poke, it’s now good for a 3.7 0-62 mph sprint (two tenths quicker than before) and a top speed of 208mph.
That V12 will be more vocal thanks to some exhaust tuning, and the shifts from the eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox are a little snappier than before. The chassis has been tweaked meanwhile, and although Aston Martin hasn’t gone into specifics, the company has said that the changes done by Chief Engineer Matt Becker and his team should give a “greater sense of connection without harming the supple ride.” Nice.
To ensure it doesn’t look like any old DB11 as it rolls around Kensington, the AMR has been treated to a smattering of gloss black and carbonfibre details. Neat touches include carbonfibre side strakes and bonnet ‘blades’, and a gloss black roof.
On the inside you’ll find vast quantities of leather and Alcantara, embossed AMR logos plus contrasting lime stripes and stitching. The posher AMR Signature Edition (above and below) has ‘Dark Knight’ leather patches, ‘Satin Dark Chrome’ switchgear and yet more carbonfibre both inside and out.
The Signature car is limited to just 100 units priced at £201,995 a pop, while the standard AMR Pro will set you back £174,995.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

It looks amazing.
i find this car really pretty, but that front lip kinda ruins it. It kinda juts out and makes the front look rather short
Lol
My exact reaction haha
Why would they put a neon green line throughout a beautiful tan leather interior? I know it’s a special edition but that color scheme is going way too far.
I personally think it looks rly good
I love it tho
Agreed, that look really doesnt work everytime they do it, especially in this case
The Virage was the same thing a few years ago… “right in the middle” and that was on sale for less than 18 months. This isn’t very different honestly.
The DB11 is the new DB9. The virage was between the DB9 and Vanquish. They aren’t the same thing.
Not right in the middle. DBS Superleggera is rumoured to have over 700bhp…
I love it😍
I was hoping it would have a big wing like the other AMR cars. But this still looks amazing af.
It seems to embody the very essence of beauty, flowing and hypnotising. It’s one of those cars that you’re scared will have disappeared from sight if you turn around (which given its speed it might just do)
Basically the modern DBS, the prior DBS only was ‘minimally’ modified.
The only thing I’d remove is that hideous neon green line down the center of the seats.
THANK YOU
