The AMB 001 is the latest collector's item from Aston Martin and Brough Superior.

Many gearheads may think of James Bond in a sleek coupe when you hear the name Aston Martin, however, the British auto manufacturer has recently partnered with Brough Superior to create a limited-edition motorcycle.

This is the very first time that Aston Martin has ever developed a motorcycle, so they have gone all-out to make one of the most unique and iconic bikes in the world. Limited to only 100 units, this state-of-the-art motorbike is an engineering marvel that is bound to turn heads no matter where you may be.

To find out just how unique this motorbike from Aston Martin is, here are 10 things we just found out about the AMB 001:

The AMB 001 is a unique and modern interpretation of what a luxury motorcycle can be. While many people may jump straight to thinking of a plush Rolls-Royce or Bentley as the definition of luxury, this vehicle helps to redefine the entire segment.

While this motorcycle is definitely something special, it is also a limited-production vehicle, with only 100 units of the motorcycle planned to ever be built. These will not be mass-manufactured either, as Aston Martin will offer bespoke services on every model.

While you may be used to the roaring V8 from Aston Martin, the AMB 001 does not disappoint. The AMB 001 comes with a 997c V-twin four-stroke engine that can produce up to 180 hp.

The powertrain is also controlled with a 6-speed gearbox and a multi-plate oil-bath clutch that can be used through a hydraulic system. This entire system was designed and manufactured in-house for the best performance in a compact design.

The powertrain of the AMB 001 is further bolstered by an electronic turbo. This electronic component allows for the bike to glide along the road for a smooth and economic ride.

This design has been developed for a number of years in Formula 1 and has been proven to help improve the vehicle’s torque and total power output. This can also be used to charge the electronic components of the bike, similar to a traditional alternator.

The design of the AMB 001 is unique and aerodynamic. The sleek body is literally seamless, with no body panels visibly attached to each other. This is because Aston Martin and Brough Superior decided to mill the body out of a single block of metal.

Many parts were also CNC machined to create unique and custom fits, designed especially for this limited-edition vehicle. The front and rear suspension also feature these parts, along with the frame of the bike.

The entire body of the AMB 001 weighs only 396lbs. This is incredibly lightweight and makes the vehicle easy to handle and transport. This weight saving is due to a number of engineering decisions, such as using solid blocks of aluminum and carbon fiber for much of the bodywork.

Despite the lightweight design, Aston Martin incorporated several materials to add stability to the vehicle. This includes carbon fiber, but also metals such as aluminum and titanium.

The lightweight body of the AMB 001 is made possible by the amount of carbon fiber being used throughout the vehicle. Various components of the body, sides, and internals of the motorbike make use of the material to save on weight while keeping the frame strong.

The amount of carbon fiber in the motorbike is also another reason for the insane price tag. This is because the carbon fiber that Aston Martin uses is often hand-made by their in-house team.

The design of the AMB 001 is completely unique to the vehicle. While many other limited-edition motorcycles may have attempted a modern interpretation of the design language, the AMB 001 is by far the most impressive.

The AMB 001 takes aerodynamics into account and molds the entire body to direct air behind you. This helps create a sleek and dynamic look while also providing the necessary performance you can expect from an Aston Martin.

One of the most eye-catching parts of the AMB 001 is the bright, leather seat. This seat perfectly contrasts the rest of the motorbike, creating a modern yet traditional look.

This leather seat is not made standard across all models. Aston Martin and Brough Superior allow you to customize the seat to your exact requirements. This means you can change the stitching, color, shape, and even design of the seat.

The AMB 001 was carefully crafted by engineers from both Brough Superior and Aston Martin. While these two companies are experienced in designing luxurious and powerful vehicles, they also offer a wide range of options for their customers to have input in the design of the vehicle.

Aston Martin has developed a team to provide bespoke services for every AMB 001 motorbike. These services range from specially formulated paints to hand-painted logos, family crests, and even exterior racing lines.

Aston Martin is a leading luxury brand in the United Kingdom, Europe, and is growing fast within the United States. With this being said, the badge, brand, and logo make this motorbike even more valuable as a collector’s item.

While the U.S. price has not been announced yet, the listed base price is around 108,000 Euros. This roughly works out to over $120,000. However, these bikes are not designed to be delivered standard. Aston Martin has an entire design team on standby to add custom finishes to your bike that could easily see the price climb well above the $150,000 mark.
