A few years ago the unveiling of Aston Martin’s AMB 001 motorbike broke the Internet. Made in collaboration with Brough Superior, the two motoring juggernauts are set to do some more smashing with the project’s next design iteration: the AMB 001 Pro.
Inspired by Aston Martin’s unrivaled Valkyrie AMR Pro hypercar, the new superbike is strictly built for the track, adapting the previous experience from Aston Martin and Brough Superior’s previous outing and delivering it with the dial turned up to eleven.
The result is a 25 percent power increase on its predecessor to 225 HP, coming courtesy of a new fully-machined AL 5000 solid billet CNC-machine dual-cylinder 997cc engine. In total, the bike weighs in at just 175kg dry, meaning the power-to-weight ratio is 1.28 hp/kg — to put that into perspective, a Formula 1 car has a power-to-weight ratio of 1.4hp/kg, so don’t mistake the AMB 001 Pro for a slouch on the track.
Racing infiltrates every inch of the new motorbike as it draws inspiration from the British marque’s own Valkyrie AMR Pro hypercar, and we suspect these two machines will look perfect sat next to each other in one’s dream garage set-up. Like the Valkyrie, the motorbike is super limited, with only 88 units being produced.
