Aston Martin, the automobile brand historically "at the service of Her Majesty" in James Bond, is making a remarkable foray into motorcycling with its unprecedented AMB 001 unveiled with great fanfare at the Milan Motor Show (Italy).  This astonishing creation with an "organic" design stems as expected from an association with its compatriot Brough Superior.
 This Aston Martin AMB 001 motorcycle takes up the 997 cc V-twin developed by the brand of ultra high-end motorcycles, resuscitated in 2008 by the English businessman Mark Upham with the Toulouse company Boxer Design.  Small subtlety: the engine of the Aston Martin inherits a turbo to reach 180 hp, against 100 to 130 hp for the Brough Superior SS100 and Pendine Sand Racer!

 Thanks to this collaboration with Aston Martin, the creative boss of Boxer Design, Thierry Henriette - now at the helm of Brough Superior -, achieved in a roundabout way his objective set in 2011 with his SuperBob roadster: to produce an exclusive and singular motorcycle whose twin-cylinder designed  with Akira promises strong raises via turbo boost.

 MNC also notes that the AMB 001 uses an unconventional front end, like the SuperBob and the Brought Superior: the fork of the Aston Martin is made up of two rigid arms with a spring in a central position under the half-handlebars to ensure  the damping function - like the BMW Duolever
