Valkyrie is an ancient Norse name.
The Aston Martin Red Bull hypercar, which will be the Valkyrie, has been announced by the company. This continues a long line of high-performance Aston Martin V’ cars dating back to 1951. We no longer need to refer to Aston Martin’s upcoming hypercar under the AM-RB 001 codename.
Vantage was the first Aston Martin V car. Other models include Vanquish, Virage and Vulcan. Marek Reichman is Aston’s chief creative officer and Valkyrie captures the drama of an ultimate Aston Martin. He says that the names of British car company have deep meaning and “need” to excite and inspire. To tell a story, enrich and enrich a history that spans some 104 years.
The Aston Martin Valkyrie, an extraordinary car, deserves an equally exceptional name. It is a car that does not take any chances and leaves no stone unturned. It is a car that very few people will ever have the opportunity to experience.
What is Valkyrie exactly? Old Norse mythology describes them as ‘female figures that select who may live or die in battle’. It literally means ‘chooser for the slain’. Valkyrie, a charity, bring half the victims of battle to Valhalla where they will be governed by Odin the Ruler of Gods. We now know.
The Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar, which is being developed with Red Bull Technologies and AF Racing, will be launched later in 2017. All 150 are sold out if you still want one
