2017 Aston Martin Vantage AMR Pro

Only seven Vantage AMR Pros were ever built, and this is one of them, converted for road use and UK registered. The AMR Pro was conceived as a track-only special that borrowed heavily from Aston Martin's motorsport programme. It has a 4.7-litre naturally aspirated V8 descended from the Vantage GT4 racer, a titanium exhaust, and bodywork lifted from the Vantage GTE: vented bonnet, rear wing and wider front wings. Period testers were united on one point, which was the noise. Top Gear reckoned it was louder than a Vulcan track car.

This car is finished in Stirling Green with Lime Green livery and rides on 19-inch magnesium wheels. Inside, it has AMR full racing bucket seats with six-point harnesses, a quick-release AMR racing steering wheel and a satin carbon centre console. It also has a Q half roll cage and Q carbon fibre braces. Further carbon is fitted in the side sills, and a reversing camera has been added to make road use easier. Seats, harnesses and cage mean this is still a thoroughly uncompromising car for the road.

It has covered just 1,869 miles, with the page also quoting 1,865 in its key information. The V8 drives the rear wheels through a seven-speed Sportshift II automated manual. Few cars of this type have been made road legal, and with such a tiny production run, it sits well above the Vantage GT8 in rarity while keeping a direct link to Aston Martin's racing cars.
