Discussion

Dealers expect to get one AMR V12 each and two AMR V8 each (approx 100 dealers worldwide).Some of that article is slightly wrong / misleading - The Titanium exhaust is only standard on the V12, not the V8 but is available as a dealer fit AMR Accessory. Likewise the Aerokit is not actially an option on these cars, but is now available as a dealerfit AMR Accessory (for all vantages MY12.5 onwards).

Not convinced the Titanium exhaust is standard on the V12.
Well Top Gear have got the wrong end of the stick too!

They have led with the pics of the AMR Aerokit accessory on their article, which as I have posted above is incorrect as its is neither part of the standard or optional spec of the AMR Vantage. Oddly I did read that it could be ordered for buld inline with AMR Vantage, but then it wasnt part of the optional spec, so... Probably just a typo thinking back.
Sorry if Im a bit Aerokit fixated but it was one of the key differentiators I was hoping AMR Vantage would come with in the spec as std, so was dissapointed to see it didn't but then equally pleased ti find out it was now available as an AMR accessory for (most) Vantages, including AMR Vantage of course.
Made my decision to keep my car very easy anyway.

Adam: Titanium exhaust is NOT standard on V12 - as with the AMR wheels and the aero kit, it is a dealer fit option
The reason it quotes two different weight savings (10kg and 14kg) for titanium is that the V12 AMR comes with decats as standard so is already a touch lighter. Basically, the V12 AMR offers as standard two of the four physical elements from the performance pack (inlet manifolds and de cats) hence saving a few kg and having the 595bhp
The optional titanium exhaust pack adds the other two elements - rear diffuser and titanium backbox although in fitting it, you end up decatting by default if you are doing it to a non AMR V12S
Although you can add the titanium system to a V12S, it's not that much cheaper than the performance pack (in relative terms) but doesn't have the revised manifolds so can see this being more for AMR car owners or V8 owners
Incidentally, in the pics, the titanium exhaust option shows cats. That's misleading - the diagram/image is simply wrong

I have not delved into the detail, but does this mean that a GT12 equivalent can now be ordered, and at lower price ?
Well you can order a V12 Vantage S with 600hp and an aero kit, with a manual gearbox for much less than a GT12, so in a way I suppose so!Gassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
