Aston Martin-AMR1 (racing car)
Aston Martin AMR1 is a classic racing car that was produced by the British car manufacturer Aston Martin between 1988 and 1990. It was the first racing car to be produced by the company since the DBR1 of the 1950s. The AMR1 was designed to compete in the World Sportscar Championship, and it was the first car to be designed and built by Aston Martin Racing.
The AMR1 was designed by John Wyer, who had previously designed the DBR1. The car was powered by a 5.3-litre V8 engine, which was capable of producing up to 600 horsepower. The engine was mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The car was fitted with a double wishbone suspension and had a top speed of over 200 mph.
The AMR1 made its debut at the 1988 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it finished in fourth place overall. The car went on to compete in several other races throughout the 1988 and 1989 seasons, achieving a number of podium finishes. The car was also entered in the 1989 24 Hours of Le Mans, but it failed to finish due to engine failure.
The AMR1 was a successful racing car, but it was also very expensive to build and maintain. As a result, Aston Martin decided to discontinue the car in 1990. Despite this, the AMR1 remains a popular classic racing car and is still highly sought after by collectors.
