Less than two years since the DB11 V12 heralded in a new era of rapid expansion for Aston Martin, it"s being replaced with this. It"s called the DB11 AMR and claims to bring "a new dimension of race-inspired dynamism and performance to the DB11 family." Really, it"s a detailed makeover of Aston"s V12 flagship addressing two years of customer and media feedback. In other words, this isn"t a truly hardcore GT that"s being saved for the DB11-based Vanquish replacement (now badged DBS Superleggera) due later this year. But don"t be fooled, slow it is not. Power from the twin-turbo 5.2-litre V12 climbs by 30bhp to 630bhp, the 0-62mph time drops by 0.2sec to 3.7sec and the top speed increases by 8mph to 208mph. Just give that another read 208mph in a car CEO Andy Palmer still refers to as a "consummate GT." The world has gone mad.
