Aston Martin and historic motorcycle maker Brough Superior have pulled the wraps off their latest collaboration: the AMB 002 Roadster. Marking a major milestone for the luxury partnership, the new machine is the first-ever road-legal motorcycle co-developed by the two brands, following their previous track-only offerings, the AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro.
Production of the ultra-exclusive motorcycle will be strictly limited to 300 units worldwide.
Design and Lightweight Engineering
The AMB 002 Roadster blends hypercar design cues with motorcycle craftsmanship. It features carbon-fibre body panels, a carbon-fibre fuel tank, and exposed mechanical elements. Notable styling details include:
-
A redesigned side strake extending directly into the headlamp housing.
-
Twin exhausts inspired by Aston Martin’s high-performance road cars.
-
Rear light blades drawn directly from the brand’s elite hypercars.
-
Luxury touchpoints such as keyless operation, a backlit ignition button, and custom leather seat pads.
At its structural core is a high-tech titanium frame machined from a single billet, weighing a mere 5 kg while serving as the rigid backbone for the entire chassis. The motorcycle has a claimed kerb weight of 190 kg and utilizes Brough Superior’s signature double-wishbone ‘Fior fork’ front suspension, which completely separates steering and braking forces to maintain pristine front-end geometry.
Performance and V-Twin Power
Powering the AMB 002 Roadster is a 1,083cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine that pumps out 130 hp and 110 Nm of torque. Tuned specifically for a road-focused riding experience, the powerplant delivers robust low- and mid-range pulling power while maintaining high-rev performance.
Stefano Saporetti, Director of Brand Diversification for Aston Martin, highlighted the success of the collaboration, noting that the transition from track-only models to a road-legal portfolio proves that the appetite for Aston Martin’s design language extends far beyond four wheels when paired with Brough Superior’s engineering expertise.
