What is the Aston Martin AMB 002 Roadster?
Aston Martin and Brough Superior have unveiled the AMB 002 Roadster- the brand’s first-ever road-legal motorcycle. The motorcycle is a result of a partnership between heritage-rich British performance brands, following their track-only models, the AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro superbikes, introduced in 2019 and 2022.
The AMB 002’s production is strictly capped at 300 hand-built units. The motorcycle is an expression of the brand’s exclusive design and engineering prowess, built as a collector-grade machine for enthusiasts who value rarity and brand heritage as much as performance.
What are the key design highlights?
The AMB 002 was styled by Aston Martin Design Studio, incorporating fluid lines and sculpted carbon fibre bodywork, creating a “forward-biased kinetic” look.
The AMB 002 extensively uses carbon fibre across its bodywork, such as the fuel tank, side fairings and body panels, contributing to its low overall weight and premium appearance.
The motorcycle features crescent-shaped cooling gills in the flanks to aid engine cooling and streamline airflow, twin oval exhausts with ribbed heat sinks that resemble the one on the Vanquish, DB12 S and DBX S, and rear light “blades” reminiscent of those on the Vulcan, Valkyrie and Valhalla hypercars.

The AMB 002 Roadster is powered by an all-new 1083 cc, water-cooled, four-stroke V‑Twin engine developed and assembled in-house by Brough Superior in Toulouse, France. The engine is built using Brough Superior’s aerospace-grade manufacturing processes, incorporating CNC-machined billet cases designed for weight reduction and structural efficiency. The new 1083 cc V-twin produces 130 bhp and 110 Nm of torque, tuned for strong low- and mid-range torque.
