When the Aston Martin AM-RB 003 debuted on the Geneva Motor Present in March, it surprised the gang with a glance derived from the completely bonkers Valkyrie hypercar. Now, some months later, Aston Martin has lastly given it a reputation to match its wilder sibling.

Aston Martin introduced on Tuesday that the AM-RB 003 will likely be referred to as the Aston Martin Valhalla. The identify should not shock anybody with a passing information of Norse mythology, because it was the Valkyries who led fortunate Vikings to Valhalla, a paradise for warriors slain in battle. It additionally retains consistent with Aston Martin’s naming conference, which leans closely on the letter V.

Specs are nonetheless gentle, however we do know that the Valhalla will sport a turbocharged V6 gasoline engine and a hybrid system. It makes use of Nexcel’s sealed oil system, putting the oil and filter in a swappable unit that ought to take 90 seconds to take away and substitute. It additionally makes use of FlexFoil know-how, a know-how borrowed from plane that enables a wing to alter its form seamlessly. It is loaded with carbon fiber, and the inside adjustability is thru the steering column and pedal field.

The Valhalla will even lend its engine to the manufacturing model of the Vanquish Imaginative and prescient idea, which additionally debuted on the Geneva Motor Present. Set to land with prospects in 2022, it’d borrow a lot of its seems from the Valhalla and Valkyrie, but it surely’s extra of a comfort-oriented supercar, and it’ll rely far more on aluminum than carbon fiber, a novel distinction amongst lots of the carbon-based supercar monocoques presently in manufacturing.

In order for you one, you’d higher reserve your spot in line as quick as potential. Whereas we’re undecided how a lot it would price, we do know that Aston Martin solely intends to construct 500 of ’em, and they’ll most likely promote out quite rapidly.
