Aston Martin introduced the Rapide AMR for the 2019 model year. The Rapide AMR was a high performance, limited production variant of the Aston Martin Rapide. The AMR, short of Aston Martin Racing, featured a range of improvements such as better brakes, upgraded software, and various aerodynamic and styling changes in order to increase performance. The most important aspect of the Rapide AMR's high performance was the tuned AM29 engine, which was a 595hp 5.9L V12 powerplant. Drive from this engine was sent to an 8 speed 'Touchtronic III' automatic transmission. Just 210 examples of the Aston Martin Rapide AMR were built before the end of production in 2020.
