Missing for now is the new AMR honeycomb grille, as well as this test mule rides on common Rapide wheels, too. We can’t see in the cabin in any type of of these spy shots, however expect new sports seats as well as a smattering of naked carbon fibre on the dashboard as well as around the interior to separate the Rapide AMR from the common car. 
Aston will provide the AMR badged Rapide with a bit much more power to go along with its punchier looks. It’ll still make utilize of the common car’s naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V12, though power will climb to 592bhp thanks primarily to the adoption of a new exhaust system. Chassis revisions are due too, while the top speed will climb to 210mph. Last year, Aston manager Andy Palmer verified a production run of 210 Rapide AMRs. It’ll show up on sale towards the end of 2018, likely priced from around £180,000 – a £30,000 premium over the Rapide S.
