AMV8 - Production version pictures!

[Twin Turbo]

I'm a numpty when it comes to adding links, so the one below probably isn't going to work. However, if you want to see the final production version of the AMV8 in all it's glory, get along to the AMOC owners site www.amoc.org

Head for the "New Era" section on the forum and voila....not one but two of the beauties

The pictures were taken at the recent dealer presentation. Canary yellow does it no favours (although it still looks good), but the titanium one is

Thats my colour! Tungsten it is!

[shadytree]

yum , that looks good. The wheels look better than the 9's and the AMV8 concepts. I can't wait

[Twin Turbo]

I like the front lights. Not quite as "modern" as the concepts, but at least they're different to the DB9's. Yep, the wheels look good too.

Still can't decide if it should be titanium, BRG or black

Rear wheels need another inch in both dimensions.

It looks fantastic, I hope it sounds as good as it looks, dont want it to be a civilised city boy car, i want thunder!

Pardon...

[Twin Turbo]

Look at the name badge on the photo of the rear of the car. It could read AMV8.....but could that also be DB8? I know AM are stating it's AMV8 Vantage, but it doesn't look like the word Vantage has made it to the tail.

The concept car had AMV8 on the left, then Vantage on the right.

I think it says Vantage on the number plate.
I like it in Carbon Fibre like on the cards I got sent yesterday. Rich...

Nice car, but glad I decided to go in an alternative direction.

Front view isn't as sharp as the "concept" (as someone else mentione previously) and the rear seems different too.

Is there a definitive price now?

[Twin Turbo]

Really? I think it's remarkably close to the concept with the exception of slightly different front lights.

Still, each to their own

Agreed, to me it is a very faithful interpretation of the concept. I am looking forward to seeing it in the metal in Geneva next month and even more to 2006

Just got this month's issue of TopGear Mag and they quote the test driver at the ring saying the noise will be pretty faithful to the finished version, but they had the valves taken off.
So like the DB9, it wil lbe quiet around town and then when you gun it above 3500 revs, all hell breaks loose

Awesome

Surely that just means you drive absolutely everywhere at > 3500 rpm all the time. Ah well - sounds good to me!

Leave the valves off
