    Aston Martin DB11 Is Hotter, Faster And Louder With The AMR Badge

    A short while ago, Aston Martin gave us the new DB11 set to redefine the British sports car manufacturer’s concept of making their cars drive as beautifully as they look, and the 600 horsepower (447 kW) sports GT did just that. And now, less than two years later, Aston has livened up the DB11 and gave it the AMR badge.

    The letters ‘AMR’ abbreviate “Aston Martin Racing”, a name that approaches the company’s long and successful motorsport efforts. The DB11 AMR is a hotter, faster and louder grand tourer than the regular DB11. According to Aston Martin, the AMR aims to bring “a new dimension of race-inspired dynamism and performance to the DB11 family.”

    Aston Martin’s new “consummate GT” retains the same Mercedes-Benz derived 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 used in the DB11, only in the case of the AMR we’re dealing with a 30 horsepower jump to get 630 hp (470 kW) and 700 Nm of torque. The extra power, along with a bit of reprogramming to the ZF eight-speed gearbox enables the AMR to hit 100 km/h from standstill in 3.7 seconds, cutting the DB11’s spring time by 0.3 seconds. With the additional help of some aero tweaks, the top speed is raised to 334 km/h. The car will also sing better in the process, thanks to a wakened exhaust that creates what Aston says is a “more vocal” car.

    Dampers have also undergone some upgrades. Although details are scarce, Aston Martin says there is now “a greater sense of connection without harming the supple ride.” The DB11 AMR promises to be an undoubtedly better package than the normal DB11 (that’s if you can ever call that car normal), and the price backs the statement. This leap from the DB11 claims a £17,095 premium which makes the DB11 AMR a £174,995 car.

    On the bright side, the dent on your pocket will not go unnoticed as the DB11 AMR boasts some noticeable cosmetic tweaks. This car is announced by dark detailing. The bright work on the base DB11 is replaced with gloss-black or carbon-fibre trims while taillights and exhaust tips are smoked. The cabin features the same vibe, with monotone leather and Alcantara, along with a lime strip.

    The Aston Martin DB11 AMR will be offered in three Designer Specifications, plus 100 units of an exclusive AMR Signature Edition which is featured in the image gallery wearing the Sterling Green and lime livery, resembling the company’s racing efforts. For this level of exclusivity, you will have to cough up £201,995.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
