Design ── Where Structure Speaks, Lines Lead,
and Form & Function Become One —
A New Frontier for Aston Martin

The AMB 001 and AMB 001 PRO embody Aston Martin’s design philosophy reimagined beyond the realm of four wheels. Smooth lines carve through the air, sculpted masses hold a precise sharpness, and every curve serves as a conduit that channels power while embracing the wind. The exterior of the AMB 001 features Aston Martin’s iconic Stirling Green, accented with luminous Lime Essence, harmonized with carbon-fiber textures subtly visible beneath the paint. Matte-black components complete the composition, creating a tension where stillness and motion, light and shadow intersect.

The fin-like spine that runs from the fuel tank to the tail forms a single, unbroken line — a structural declaration of intent. Beneath this form lies a hand-crafted Oxford Tan leather seat, fashioned by Aston Martin’s master leather artisans, offering warmth, comfort, and a visually grounding presence. The ultra-thin laser-cut metal badge — the same wing emblem used on the Valkyrie — measures a mere 9 microns in thickness, resting beneath a clear coat like a piece of fine jewelry quietly revealing itself.

On the AMB 001 PRO, this design language evolves even further. Its exclusive palette of Verdant Jade and Photon Lime amplifies the machine’s character, while broad surfaces in semi-matte carbon fiber expose the raw, industrial force befitting a track-focused creation. The front cowl transitions from a movable to a fixed structure, with redesigned air intakes and ducts optimized for airflow efficiency. Newly added aerodynamic elements — front spoiler, side wings, and a rear stabilizer — dramatically enhance downforce and stability at speed.

The wheels also advance: while the AMB 001 uses forged aluminum, the PRO adopts ultra-light carbon-fiber wheels — a 10-spoke design in front and a solid disc-style wheel at the rear — delivering both aesthetic presence and aerodynamic benefit. Both models transcend what can be described as “beautiful.” They embody a fusion of Aston Martin’s sculptural luxury and Brough Superior’s artisanal engineering, forming a crafted object where every line, layer, and contour carries intent. Design is the attire of performance — and the shape of soul. The silhouettes of the AMB series quietly affirm that truth.

Pride and Heritage,
Tradition and the Future ── A Vision Forged by Two Iconic Names

In this project, Aston Martin was far more than a sponsor or a provider of logos. AMB 001 is the result of a partnership chosen with intention──a collaboration in which Aston Martin, a marque that has pursued beauty and speed to their utmost extremes in the world of four wheels, sought to translate its design philosophy into the realm of motorcycles. It was no coincidence that the partner chosen for this unprecedented endeavor was Brough Superior, the legendary brand once hailed as the “Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles,” and beloved by T.E. Lawrence throughout the 1920s and 1930s. After a long period of dormancy, the brand was revived in 2013 by its current director, Thierry Henriette──a modern design philosopher who stands as both a guardian of classic heritage and a pioneer of cutting-edge materials and craftsmanship.

Aston Martin and Brough Superior. Both rooted in Britain, both renowned for uniting “performance” and “artistry” throughout their long histories. When these two giants joined forces for the first time, their objective was not simply to develop a high-performance motorcycle. “The machine itself must be an art piece.” These words, spoken by Marek Reichman, Aston Martin’s Chief Creative Officer, defined the project. Drawing on his experience with iconic hypercars such as Valkyrie, Reichman and his design team infused AMB 001 with an unwavering aesthetic philosophy.

Graceful yet dynamic. A structure in which engineering itself becomes design. This marked a new horizon of beauty impossible to express through four wheels alone. Meanwhile, Brough Superior oversaw the engineering, development, and manufacturing of AMB 001 at its atelier in Toulouse, France. In this city known for its aerospace industry, carbon fiber, titanium, and other advanced materials were shaped with precise craftsmanship, with each motorcycle meticulously hand-assembled by master artisans.

Technology and sensibility. Industry and art. Aston Martin and Brough Superior. In this partnership, there was no hierarchy and no mere division of roles──only a shared exchange of ideas and passion. This synergy forms the core of the AMB series. For AMB 001 PRO, this relationship deepened even further. Henriette notes that it draws “direct inspiration from the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR PRO,” elevating the machine beyond the boundary between two-wheel and four-wheel design.

This collaboration is not a fleeting project. It is the embodiment of a philosophy shared by two brands that recognize, resonate with, and look toward the same future. The AMB series stands as a rare fusion in which Aston Martin’s craftsmanship and Brough Superior’s engineering aesthetics blend seamlessly into one extraordinary creation.

Engineering ── The Precision of Function
That Sustains Beauty

Within the elegant silhouettes of the AMB 001 and AMB 001 PRO lies a concentration of advanced technologies and a philosophical devotion to materials. These machines transcend the idea of “high-performance motorcycles”; their very structures are expressions of aesthetic intent, with each component shaped not only for function but for purpose. Power comes from Brough Superior’s own 997cc liquid-cooled V-twin, a DOHC, 8-valve, 88-degree engine paired with a variable-geometry turbocharger on the AMB 001, delivering an astonishing 180 horsepower.

In the modern motorcycle world, the adoption of turbocharging is exceptionally rare — a choice that itself signals the project’s spirit of innovation. The AMB 001 PRO takes this further: though sharing the same V-twin layout, it uses an entirely new billet-machined aluminum crankcase and redesigned cylinders for improved internal cooling. Output climbs to 225 horsepower, and with a dry weight of only 175kg, it achieves a power-to-weight ratio of 1.28hp/kg — comparable to a Formula 1 machine.

The chassis that harnesses this power is equally extraordinary. The engine functions as a stressed member within a monocoque configuration, supported above by a CNC-machined aluminum backbone and at the rear by a carbon-fiber subframe. Titanium is used throughout key junctions, balancing rigidity with uncompromising lightness.

The most distinctive element lies in the front suspension system: rather than a conventional telescopic fork, the AMB series employs a Fior-type double-wishbone layout. This separates steering forces from suspension movement, dramatically reducing dive under braking and maintaining exceptional stability — a decisive advantage during hard braking followed by sharp turn-in.

At the rear, a CNC-machined aluminum swingarm and linkage-type monoshock are employed, offering rebound and preload adjustment front and rear. Damping characteristics are focused toward track use. Braking performance is uncompromising: dual 320mm stainless-steel front discs paired with radial-mount four-piston calipers, and a 230mm rear disc with a two-piston caliper, ensuring precision control at the limits.

Wheel construction further distinguishes the two models: the AMB 001 features forged aluminum wheels, while the PRO adopts ultra-light carbon-fiber wheels — a 10-spoke design in front and a disc-type wheel at the rear, contributing both visual presence and aerodynamic advantage. Underpinning everything is aerospace-grade material selection and meticulous craftsmanship. The bodywork is entirely carbon composite, functioning as structural skin; the exhaust system uses Inconel; the seat is finished in haute couture-quality leather. In the AMB series, materials speak two languages simultaneously — one of performance, and one of craftsmanship. Few motorcycles embed so much philosophy within the simple act of motion. The engineering of the AMB 001 and AMB 001 PRO is not merely technical; it is a method of giving form to intent.

Riding Sensation ── Where Touch Awakens
the Resonance Between Machine and Human

The moment a rider mounts the AMB 001 or AMB 001 PRO, a certain tension arises. It is not merely because the machines are powerful, but because one instantly senses that what rests beneath them is not a simple vehicle, but a crafted creation──a crystallized design philosophy. The riding position is unmistakably aggressive: the fuel tank stretches low and long, the seat sits high, the rearsets retreat far back, and the handlebars project forward with purpose. It is less “sitting on a motorcycle” and more “folding into it, becoming part of its form.” This is precisely the experience Aston Martin sought──to merge rider and machine into a singular presence.

Open the throttle, and the sharp whistle of the turbo rises, followed by an instant surge of overwhelming torque. The 997cc V-twin does not pulse roughly; it beats with the precision of a metronome, upon which the turbo’s authority layers with immediate and exquisitely linear response. On AMB 001, the acceleration already feels like it leaves *no room for hesitation*; on AMB 001 PRO, it becomes even more intense──a force so demanding that the rider risks being left behind with even a moment’s lapse in focus.

Yet the true brilliance of the AMB series lies in its ability to control this tremendous power. The double-wishbone front suspension minimizes chassis dive even under hard braking, keeping the machine seemingly glued to the tarmac. At first, the lack of fork dive may feel unfamiliar, but once accustomed to it, riders realize it is a weapon──allowing braking points to move dramatically deeper into the corner entry.

In cornering, the AMB series behaves with its own unmistakable character. Despite its long wheelbase, the center of gravity is astonishingly low, enabling exceptional mass centralization. Mid-corner behavior is remarkably composed, free from quirks that might unsettle the line, and its responses to throttle input and weight transfer are surgical in precision. On the PRO, aerodynamic devices add tangible downforce, sharpening front-end grip at high speeds and raising the cornering limits yet further──though this also narrows the margin for error.

The AMB series eschews excessive electronic intervention. Everything is entrusted to the rider: line selection, throttle modulation, braking, weight transfer. Any deviation, however slight, elicits an immediate response from the machine. This demands skill and intense concentration, but when a lap is executed perfectly, the resulting satisfaction is incomparable. The exhaust note is a symphony of explosive bass layered with the metallic edge of the turbo, rising and falling with throttle inputs. Particularly on the AMB 001 PRO, its roar reverberates through the circuit with visceral force, stirring a profound exhilaration in the rider.

The AMB series is not designed for public roads. It offers no comfort, no convenience──only the experience of rider and machine sharpening one another within a finite span of time and space. For these motorcycles, the circuit is not merely a battleground, but a stage upon which they *dance*. AMB 001 and AMB 001 PRO reveal their true character only to those who dare to master them──machines of depth, power, and expressive capability.

AMB 001 / AMB 001 PRO ── A Single Philosophy
Where Will and Form Crystallize

AMB 001 and AMB 001 PRO do not merely belong to the category of high-performance motorcycles. They are industrial artworks — philosophy made rideable — born from two of Britain’s most esteemed names: Aston Martin and Brough Superior. What began with a single sketch and a single conviction — “not merely fast, but meaningful and beautiful” — evolved into form. The curves drawn by Aston Martin’s design team converged with Brough Superior’s craftsmanship and material expertise, giving shape to a machine in which beauty and function coexist. AMB 001 is the first answer to that vision: a machine of extreme performance whose every detail carries poetic tension, drawing in the eye and stirring the rider’s spirit.

AMB 001 PRO advances this philosophy even further. It is not simply a more powerful variant, but a complete re-examination of chassis structure, aerodynamic form, material application, and control characteristics — enhanced thoroughly for circuit-dedicated performance. Fixed cowlings that carve the air, wings that generate downforce, and carbon wheels that cast sculptural shadows — all of these refine and sharpen the original intention of AMB 001 with a heightened purity.

What unites the AMB series is a value system far removed from the notion of mass production. This exclusivity is not the result of limited build numbers alone; it is because each unit is assembled entirely by hand, each material is chosen with intent, and every process carries the clarity of “who crafted what, and how.” These are motorcycles that possess the tension and dignity of fine art objects.

Moreover, the AMB series is not a machine that anyone can tame. With minimal reliance on electronic intervention, every aspect is entrusted to the rider’s sensitivity and skill. Precise lines, deliberate throttle control, awareness of weight transfer — miss even one, and the motorcycle responds with an unsettling shift, as if refusing the rider’s intent. Yet, when mastered, the machine allows the rider to understand — physically, intimately — what it truly means “to ride.”

AMB 001 and AMB 001 PRO are ultimate artistic expressions performed upon a circuit. Speed becomes a medium, form becomes expression, and the ride itself becomes performance — the rider, the performer. These motorcycles ask: *Can a machine express this much?* They represent both a vision for the future of motorcycling and a deliberate rejection of efficiency and mass-production. In an age dominated by quantity, the AMB series chooses to create only a few pieces — perfectly, intentionally. Within that choice lives a quiet dignity and a conviction of what true value means. Born to move, designed to captivate, and created for the chosen few, AMB 001 and AMB 001 PRO stand at the intersection of past and future, art and engineering, Aston Martin and Brough Superior — a miraculous pair. What is a dream? The answer lies here. AMB — perhaps not only a set of initials, but *A Motorcycle Beyond*. Only those who understand this truth may grasp the full essence of these machines.
