The AM3 is quite unusual for an Aston as it was bodied by Pininfarina in Italy, a company much more associated with Ferrari. As with many of the other special cars of the 1990's, the AM3 was based on a Vantage chassis with V600 supercharged V8 5.3 litre engine. This car was first featured in the 1998 Autocar article, then AM Power, Beauty & Soul by David Dowsey and it appears that at perhaps 3 were built, one in red with red interior, one in black with reflective glass and a third converted from a V8 Vantage mule. The very odd and distinguishing feature of the AM3 is a composite nose cone which encompasses the lights and grille. This feature at least will remind you of the rubber bumper MGB GT or a US sportscar with one of those 'black bra' things that they have -  it's that odd. The rear lights are behind a full width smoked black panel in the shape of the AM grill

These pictures appear to have been taken by Pininfarina on the roof of their factory in Italy; the car appears to be on a turntable. These pictures have been made available to me direct from Aston Martin especially to use on this website

Rather oddly, AM3 whilst never officially seen in public was modelled in 1/43 scale model by Ban Seng.
