AMB 001 Pro by Aston Martin and Brough Superior Revealed at EICMA

Aston Martin and Brough Superior are revving the intensity with the reveal of AMB 001 Pro, a visceral 997cc track-only superbike inspired by Aston Martin’s unrivalled Valkyrie AMR Pro hypercar, unveiled today at the EICMA Milan Motorcycle Show.

The strictly limited-edition AMB 001 Pro is the latest design collaboration between the two brands, pairing Aston Martin’s legendary design with state-of-the-art Brough Superior motorcycle engineering.

Offered in a single Pro specification, the successor to the sold-out AMB 001 was inspired by Aston Martin’s no-rules track hypercar Valkyrie AMR Pro. Like its inspiration, AMB 001 Pro takes track performance to the extreme, offering a 25% power increase on its predecessor, with its 225 HP producing a power-to-weight ratio of 1.28 hp/kg, similar to that of a Formula One® car.

Thierry Henriette, Chief Executive Officer of Brough Superior, said, “We are excited to reveal the AMB 001 Pro at EICMA today. The success of its predecessor, coupled with the incredible Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro, inspired us to get together again to create a new superbike that we know will excite our customers. We are particularly proud of the new engine type, with a crankcase fully machined from solid billet aluminium, a unique feature for a production motorcycle. The marked increase in power takes AMB 001 Pro into the hyperbike sector.”

Marek Reichman, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer of Aston Martin, said:

“It’s a beautifully simple formula. Form plus technology equals performance. When you push something to the very edge of capacity and do it seamlessly, the resulting experience can have you breathless. There is no separation between the bike’s advanced materials, design and technical capabilities. We’ve achieved this fluidity again with Brough Superior for those who desire a track superbike like none other. The rider is part of this moving sculpture and will feel as though they are part of the track when laying atop the AMB 001 Pro”.

At EICMA, the AMB 001, the first-ever Aston Martin motorcycle, was revealed in 2019. The coming together of Aston Martin and Brough Superior, two iconic and historic British performance brands, produced a unique, modern, lightweight and powerful sports bike, limited to just 100 units and now fully sold out.

The new AMB 001 Pro builds on the learnings from the AMB 001 and takes track exhilaration to the extreme. The power increase comes from a new CNC-machine, dual-cylinder 997cc engine, which has been fully machined from AL 5000 solid billet. The ideal properties of the material improve the stiffness of the structural engineer, whilst a new cylinder design with wet cylinder liners helps to improve cooling.

Downforce is increased via the front spoiler and side wings, with the front cowl now fixed to the bodywork to manage the downforce at the motorcycle’s front end. A tunnel effect air blade directs air over the rider.

The airflow enters through an extensive intake integrated into the front wing, then passes through the new front cowl to be deflected through the dynamic windshield. A rear fin with an aero stabilizer design further refines the aerodynamic updates.

The AMB 001 Pro is offered in a single specification, featuring a racing livery that combines Aston Martin Verdant Jade with satin-finished carbon fibre and a black Cerakote engine and suspension. These are highlighted by Photon Lime accents, paying a nod to Aston Martin’s winning bloodline of track racers.

Compared with other extreme performance, ultra-luxury Aston Martin models, AMB 001 Pro is fitted with the Aston Martin’ lacewing’ badge. Designed for the Aston Martin Valkyrie programme, the chemically etched aluminium lacewing is a remarkable 99.4% lighter than the brand’s regular enamel badge and, at just 70 microns thick, is 30% thinner than a human hair. It will be applied on the nose cowl and tank, on top of the painted finish yet beneath a perfectly smooth coat of lacquer.

Visitors to EICMA are treated to the first sight of the AMB 001 Pro prototype, displayed alongside its inspiration, the Valkyrie AMR Pro.

Initial orders have already been taken for the strictly limited edition AMB 001 Pro, which will be hand-built at the Brough Superior factory in Toulouse, France. The first deliveries will take place in Q4 2023.
