Breathe a sigh of relief: Aston Martin still makes a big, naturally aspirated V12 engine. And in this new Rapide AMR, it has made its big, naturally aspirated V12 engine more powerful. What"s an AMR? It stands for Aston Martin Racing, and continues Aston"s increasingly symbiotic relationship between motorsport and its production road cars. Basically, it means the Astons you can buy get special powers direct from the battle-hardened racers that you can"t. So, with haste, we go to power. That 6.0-litre naturally aspirated V12 now pumps out a solid 595bhp, more than the regular Rapide S"s 552bhp. There"s also 465lb ft of torque on offer too, and it"s all been made possible thanks to better air flow and a new engine calibration.
