Aston Martin and Brough Superior have unveiled the AMB 002 Roadster, the latest motorcycle created through their collaboration and the first model from the partnership designed to be registered, insured and ridden on public roads. 

The new motorcycle follows the track-focused AMB 001, introduced in 2019, and the AMB 001 Pro from 2022. However, the AMB 002 Roadster is not simply a road-going version of either motorcycle, as Aston Martin says the new machine shares no parts with its predecessors.

Orders are now open, with deliveries scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2027. Production will be limited to just 300 units worldwide.

New 1,083cc V-Twin

At the heart of the AMB 002 Roadster is a new 1,083cc four-stroke, liquid-cooled V-twin engine producing 130 hp and 110 Nm of torque.

Unlike the engines used in the previous collaboration motorcycles, the powerplant is not a reworked Brough Superior unit. It was developed specifically for the AMB 002 Roadster and tuned to deliver stronger low- and mid-range performance rather than focusing on peak-end power.

That approach suits the motorcycle’s road-going purpose, giving riders usable performance across everyday road speeds rather than concentrating its character at the top of the rev range.

Brough Superior also machines the engine crankcases from solid billet in-house, following the same manufacturing approach used for its previous track-focused machines. According to the companies, the engine, chassis and running gear were all developed from scratch for the AMB 002 Roadster.

Titanium Frame and 190kg Weight

The motorcycle’s structural backbone is a single-piece titanium frame, which is milled from a solid billet and weighs just 5kg. Brough Superior has continued to use this type of construction as part of its modern engineering philosophy since the brand’s revival.

The complete motorcycle weighs 190kg, with extensive use of carbon fibre helping to keep mass down. The AMB 002 Roadster also features a carbon-fibre fuel tank, with the design intended to keep the motorcycle’s mass concentrated around its centre.

Aston Martin says achieving a 50:50 weight distribution was an engineering target from the beginning of the project rather than simply a result of the final design.

Aston Martin Design Meets Brough Superior Engineering

As expected from an Aston Martin collaboration, the styling is a major part of the AMB 002 Roadster’s identity. The bodywork was designed by the Aston Martin Design Studio, incorporating several visual elements inspired directly by the company’s current and previous road cars.

One of the most obvious details is the side strake, which cuts through the fairing before extending forward around the headlamp. The motorcycle’s twin oval exhausts also feature ribbed heat sinks inspired by those found on the Vanquish, DB12 S and DBX S.

At the rear, the light blades take inspiration from Aston Martin models including the Vulcan, Valkyrie and Valhalla. The car-inspired details continue with keyless operation, a backlit ignition button and hand-crafted leather saddle pads.

Rather than simply borrowing design cues, Aston Martin has clearly aimed to make the AMB 002 immediately recognisable as part of the brand’s wider design family.

British Heritage, French Production

The AMB 002 Roadster is being positioned as a collaboration between two historic British marques. However, despite the British heritage behind both names, the motorcycle itself is designed, machined and assembled in Toulouse, France, at Brough Superior’s headquarters.

The original Brough Superior company was founded by George Brough in Nottingham in 1919 and became known for producing high-performance motorcycles before the original company ceased production in 1940.

The Brough Superior name is also closely associated with British motorcycling history, particularly through T.E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, who owned several Brough Superior motorcycles before his fatal crash on one of them in 1935.

The marque was revived in 2013 by French designer and engineer Thierry Henriette of Boxer Design, who later took full ownership of Brough Superior in 2018. Today, the brand retains its British name and heritage, while its engineering, machining and production operations are based in France.

Limited to 300 Units

With its limited production run, Aston Martin and Brough Superior are positioning the AMB 002 Roadster as an exclusive road-going motorcycle rather than a mass-production model.

The combination of a bespoke 1,083cc V-twin, titanium construction, carbon-fibre components and Aston Martin-designed bodywork gives the motorcycle a distinctly different character from conventional performance bikes.

Orders are now open, while the first customer deliveries are expected to begin in Q3 2027. With only 300 examples planned, the AMB 002 Roadster is likely to remain a rare sight on public roads, continuing the boutique approach that has defined the Aston Martin-Brough Superior partnership from the beginning.
