We test the Rapide AMR to find out what makes it so special

[@paultucker1272]

The best looking saloon car in the world! With probably the best engine note, too!

I must say it's still a goal for me this beast :) I was part of the AML family back when this was rolled out and I must say, we needed the updated waterfall central console massively, I even got to do a version for the EV variant - much much nicer and well into our century with a much better screen (db11). Thanks for the video !

A beautiful and elegant car indeed. Very well presented. Thank you!

Thanks for the positive comment, we really appreciate it!

I drove a Prototype AMR with Neville from the factory back in 2018, wonderful bit of kit. I'd love to try the production one at some point. Rare, special, awesome stability and grip. The noise would no doubt frustrate the whole neighbourhood 😂

[@HWMAstonMartinLtd]

Neville is a great guy! These are a very special car....you never get bored of the noise!

[@Overanalyse_This]

If I had the pleasure of choosing between this, a Ghost and a Flying Spur, it'd definitely be the AMR.

[@bittertruth0000]

This is a track beast.

[@HWMAstonMartinLtd]

Yes, superb on track but great on the road too. Such a super all-round car.

[@cheltenham2004]

Beautiful

[@HWMAstonMartinLtd]

Such a great car!

[@Overanalyse_This]

OMG this is how is should be - in black! And without that safety-jacket stripe.

[@HWMAstonMartinLtd]

Yes, it's a fantastic looking AMR.

[@JT_Williams]

This needs more B roll

[@HWMAstonMartinLtd]

Yes, it definitely does. It's an old video for us, we are trying to improve all the time.

[@Nixonbutcher]

I saw one today for the first time!!! Very nice car

[@HWMAstonMartinLtd]

They are such a great car. Rare though, which makes them even cooler!

[@Overanalyse_This]

Is bimble is lesser version of bumble? Or it is burble-lite?

[@HWMAstonMartinLtd]

These are great questions. A bimble is perhaps a more accurate and considered drive than a bumble. The pace would be similar though.

[@paladin3116]

pretty sad that this old car looks better than anything aston has put out since then for their road cars

[@HWMAstonMartinLtd]

It is really subjective, many people prefer the newer designs. It is just personal preference. Either way, Rapide is an absolutely superb car but Aston Martin actually didn't sell that many which suggests not everyone felt the same about the styling.
