I was wondering when they would change the very nerdy AM-RB 001 to something a bit more suitable and that day has come. This hypercar will now be known as Valkyrie following Aston Martin’s tradition of its ‘V’ naming strategy and evoking some badass characters from Norse mythology.
“While its name is rooted in ancient mythology, the Aston Martin Valkyrie is a pure expression of modern technology. By bringing together Aston Martin, Red Bull Advanced Technologies, project partner AF Racing and some of the world’s leading technology partners, the Aston Martin Valkyrie promises otherworldly performance befitting of its name,” says the press release.
