The Aston Martin AMR-One was a Le Mans Prototype sports car built by Prodrive's Aston Martin Racing arm. The car was a successor to the Aston Martin DBR1-2.

The AMR-One was the culmination of Aston Martin’s successful return to sports car racing that started with the DBR9. Created by Aston Martin Racing, this was a GT1 racer based on the DB9 production road car.

Unlike the leading Audi and Peugeot LMP1 cars, the radical AMR-One had a fully open cockpit. The body was designed to have minimal downforce and various ducts allowed air to pass through the car rather than over it. The first race for the AMR-One was the 6 hours of Castellet, also the first round of the Le Mans series in April 2011.

2011年3月10日 · Built to LMP1 regulations the open top AMR-One has been designed from the ground up by Prodrive & Aston Martin Racing. It is powered by a purpose built 2.0 litre turbocharged six cylinder direct injection petrol engine developing around 540bhp. The engine is not fully stressed and a steel frame adds rigidity at the rear end.

2011年9月11日 · In line with the new 2011 rules, the AMR-One features the new blade-fin and has a significantly down-sized engine in keeping with the championship’s efficiency focused regulations. Power is fed to the rear wheels via a six-speed transverse semi automatic pneumatic shift, Xtrac racing gearbox. For more on the AMR-ONE read below

In 1989, Mercedes-Benz reentered the endurance racing world and promptly conquered it by winning a constructors’ and drivers’ title in the World Sportscar Championship (with a 1-2 finish at Le Mans included for good measure), but it wasn’t the only manufacturer to make a resurgence.

With an eye on the road-car line-up, a petrol engine was the only way to go for Aston Martin. While other manufacturers developed either a naturally aspirated V8 or a turbocharged 'four', AMR surprised the racing world by going for a 2-litre straight six.

This engine developed a highly reliable 700 horsepower at more than 7,000 rpm, and the narrowed transmission, fitted between the engine and final drive, was unique to the Aston as well. A 100-liter fuel cell was fitted with a reserve of 6.5 liters, providing an extended range.

2023年7月17日 · Victor Gauntlett looked the happiest man in the world at Brands Hatch on July 23, after seeing David Leslie and Brian Redman drive the Aston Martin AMR-1 to fourth place overall in only the car’s third World Sports Prototype Championship race.
