阿斯顿马丁在去年的日内瓦车展发布了其AMR（阿斯顿马丁赛车）子品牌，后来又发布了VantageAMRPro和RapideAMR，表明这个子品牌有两个层级的车型。其中AMRPro是更专注于赛道的版本，该车重量更轻，采用了碳纤维车身，赛车规格零部件和车身空力套件。而AMR标准版则在这些方面的表现也不弱。自从车厂发布子品牌以后，RapideAMR一直没什么消息，直到最近眼尖的谍照摄影师在纽伯格林赛道发现了一辆正在测试的四门豪华车型。这就是RapideAMR的首次亮相。该车进行测试表明量产将很快进行。RapideAMR性能将不会像VantageAMRPro那般强劲。该车搭载一台车厂的6.0升V12引擎和四排气尾管，不过在原型车上并未采用四排气管。而新车搭载的引擎预计功率达到600马力。21英寸轮圈，新的前保险杠，更宽侧踏板，后散流器，前分流器和后扰流器组成了RapideAMR独特的外观。预计车厢内将大量采用碳纤维和Alcantara内饰。阿斯顿马丁表示，该车将限量生产210辆，因此将成为非常稀有的车型。考虑到它的动力性和性能升级，该车加速性将非常优异。

 

Aston Martin Rapide AMR Spied Testing At The Nürburgring

We first saw Aston Martin’s AMR (Aston Martin Racing) sub-brand over a year ago at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. There, the British automaker unveiled the Vantage AMR Pro and Rapide AMR, signaling there would be two levels to the sub-brand. The AMR Pro sub-brand is designed to be the more-hardcore offering with a focus on hustling around the track thanks to a lightweight, carbon-fiber body, race-spec parts, and aerodynamic enhancements. The standard AMR offering would be no slouch either.

 

After the reveal, news on the Rapide AMR went quiet. That is until some keen-eyed spy photographers captured the four-door luxury car testing at the Nürburgring. These are some of the first prototypes seen since the Rapide AMR’s original debut. Seeing them testing only means production should start soon. The Rapide AMR won’t be as hardcore as the Vantage AMR Pro, though it’s not designed to be. Under the hood is Aston’s 6.0-liter V12 engine along with a quad exhaust, which is missing on the prototype. The engine will likely see horsepower grow to 600. Twenty-one-inch wheels, a new front bumper, wider side sills, rear diffuser, front splitter, and an aero flip/spoiler at the rear complete the Rapide AMR’s unique appearance. Inside, there should be plenty of carbon-fiber trim pieces and Alcantara.

 

The Rapide AMR will be limited, with Aston Martin saying only 210 examples will be built of the four-door car. That makes it quite the exclusive sedan. Considering the power and performance enhancements expect, it will be quite a fast one, too.
