The Aston Martin AMR1 was a Formula C racing car developed in 1989. It participated in the World Sports Prototype Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1989 in 1989. After struggling as an engine supplier, Aston Martin decided in the early 1980s to develop its own car for the World Sports Prototype Championship.
A company known as Proteus Technology Ltd (Protech) was in charge of the project, which was to develop the AMR1 that would compete during the 1989 season. The car was powered by a 6-litre V8 engine with 700 hp (522 kW), which was mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. The chassis of the AMR1 was made of carbon-kevlar.
