Congrats Mark - looks stunning and love the Aerokit on it (I am somewhat biased of course).

Can't wait to meet up at an event soon - I'm registered for the SCD Northern New Years meet on 7th Jan - are you coming?

Lovely mark - have you got any interior shots too please?

I am sure its been an agonising wait - but at least you can now irritate your neighbours with your antisocial exhaust system

One small detail

Only the halo car lime green calipers say Brembo the rest say Aston Martin

Now the factory are contemplating putting Brembo on all AMR cars as this was in the original literature

I’ll find out later today but in cases like mine it will be a retrofit

Congratulations, looks stunning. Not long to wait, but I am sure it will feel like ages.....

That will be a very rare colour combination!!!!!

Added - can’t believe your comment on the brake calipers. I knew mine would say Aston Martin (they are yellow) but everything else was to say Brembo!! Wonder what happened?

There has obviously been some confusion between aston and brembo

I was also expecting the black / carbon badges but they said they had issues with that

The AMR cars have a black background where it says Aston Martin and the normal one is green

I started my car and whilst it does sound awesome I think you have to fit the titanium exhaust to do the car justice

I posted 3 months or so ago that they had problems with the black badges failing the final test and were being withdrawn. The AMR cars would have standard badges (black inset for V12, green inset for V8) but I guess with so many going down the Halo route then not an issue for those owners. Dealers were advised in abulletin and should have told the customers affected.
For those of us who didn’t go Halo then needed to decide what to do. I went for carbon badges on mine.

Congrats car looks stunning and a rare combo for sure!

Re the black background wings - that's not an AMR thing, all V12 Vantages have always had black backgrounds - in fact I think it applies to all performance models of V12 cars, but I've never quite got my head around the exact split. All V8V's and DB9's seem to have green, V12V(S), DBS are black - oh and all Zagato models have a red background.

Many congrats - look stunning and I suspect a stratus AMR V12 roadster in RHD will be a very rare beast indeed - perhaps even unique ? If not, surely no more than two or three

Others have answered the question on the badges - the info was conveyed to dealers but they haven't all conveyed that info to buyers - it is now black for V12 and green for V8, other than the Halo cars

There appear to be a few minor other spec differences. One of them is the S tread plates, which were in the literature to appear in both V8 & V12 AMRs. It's possible that the literature was a misprint, or that they have changed their mind but regardless of which, it now appears the S tread plates are only being fitted to V8 AMRs unless you can tell me differently from yours ?

Can others on here who have taken delivery of a non Halo AMR confirm they too have Aston rather than Brembo branding on the callipers ?

The reason for a narrower choice of brake calliper colours on the AMR cars was that they only offered them to match the AMR colour schemes, to keep the number of different types of specially made callipers as low as possible, hence Ian choosing (via Q) to have 'standard' Aston branded yellow callipers, to match the rest of his non standard, Q scheme. It was a route I examined also when I was considering a non Halo Q scheme.

So unlike the S tread plates which may have been a literature mistake and the wings badges where they wanted to but couldn't, this was definitely a calculated, correctly stated plan to have Brembo branding. The only logical conclusion is that there has been a supply chain issue

Congratulations, looks stunning and I suspect will be quite rare in that scheme.

Traditionally, the more powerful models have tended to have the black backgrounds.
For example, I think the V8V is green, whereas the V12V is black.

Spotted this from Aston Martin Works on Facebook this morning.

Some interesting additional lime accents that they've applied to a V12VAMR in Halo with full aero.
