With huge thanks to Aston Martin Bristol, I finally get to experience a car I've wanted to drive since it launched in 2019... the Aston Martin Rapide AMR! Paul and I go for a short test drive to see if it can live up to my expectations.

From Aston Martin:
Rapide AMR represents the ultimate evolution of a spectacular & versatile sports car. With enhanced performance, sharper dynamics and more powerful design language, Aston Martin has taken Rapide to new and exciting extremes.

Drawing inspiration from the concept car unveiled to great acclaim at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, Rapide AMR further enhances this charismatic four-door sports car. Incorporating a comprehensive suite of power, chassis and styling upgrades - plus a new interior treatment.

The design of the new Rapide AMR has changed little from the concept that was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 2017, with a large and aggressive front grille that is reminiscent of the extreme track-only Vantage AMR Pro. Meanwhile the circular daytime running lights recall the recent Zagato models.

At the heart of the Rapide AMR is a naturally aspirated drivetrain that draws much of its technology and character from the potent Aston Martin Vantage GT12. Larger inlet manifolds with tuned length dual inlet runners enhance the airflow into the 6.0-litre V12 engine and, combined with new engine and gearbox calibration, this results in an increase in power.
