India's first (and probably only) Aston Martin V12 Vantage AMR is here!

That's right, India gets its first, and probably only, Aston Martin V12 Vantage AMR!
It goes to the bonkers garage of Mr. KVP in Bangalore and shares space with a lot of other "first-for-India" cars.

This picture was just posted on his Instagram account and all I can tell from it is that it is obviously not finished in the AMR Halo Pack-Stirling Green but in a rather more tasteful ZAFFRE BLUE & SPEED RED
(inspired by the V8 Vantage N430, the Zaffre Blue and Red Graphic offer a contemporary twist from the original Mariana Blue and Red N430 scheme).

It also sports the optional AMR Aero Kit (produced in partnership with Aston Martin Racing, the extensive aerodynamic package for coupe models is constructed from carbon fibre and features front splitter and dive planes, plus side sills and a fixed rear spoiler).
And I say V12 and not V8 as the owner himself confirmed that his car is just 01/100. The V8 will be made in twice the numbers, that is 200.
The only things left to see are if this car sports a Manual gearbox, the optional forged aluminium AMR Vantage wheel (which mimics the design of the wheels fitted to the Vantage AMR Pro Concept shown at Geneva) and the AMR titanium exhaust (which saves 14kg over the standard V12 Vantage system).
I am sure the Bangalore guys can confirm these and get us more pictures!

Are you sure it is Zaffre Blue Shyn? I thought KVP said it was Mariana Blue.
Anyways, this isn't a manual. As for the wheels, this one has those rather complicated million criss-crossing spoke wheels. Are those the same one you are referring to?

Mod Note: Please quote ONLY the relevant bits of a post. Quoting a full, long post inconveniences our mobile readers.

Yes, I am very sure it is Zaffre Blue and Speed Red as the AMR Vantage is offered only in a select few combinations. FIVE to be precise. Mentionig the names and attaching the pictures to clear any further confusion.
1. Stirling Green and AMR Halo Pack

2. Stratus White and Orange

3. Ultramarine Black and Elwood Blue

4. Zaffre Blue and Speed Red

5. Scintilla Silver and Grey

Coming to the wheels, it appears to be the optional forged aluminium AMR Vantage wheel going by your description. Attaching a picture of the Geneva AMR Pro Concept which is the same design.

And I am not at all surprised that the owner went fpr the Auto gearbox as the Aston manual wasn't ever written/spoken highly about.

Finally, here is a pic of the front that was posted by the owner a few hours ago.

If anyone could deliver, it had to be you!
She looks absolutely stunning! I bet she looked better in person! And can't even imagine what she sounds like!
Is the optional Titanium exhaust on? And stop being such a tease and share her video clip already. I am dying to hear her fire up!
