Red Bull Racing’s F1 expertise is what the company is relying on.
Aston Martin is experiencing many great developments right now. The Gaydon team is on fire with the new Vantage, the wacky Valkyrie, and the infusion. Lagonda will also be back. The DBX crossover is in the works, as are a new Vanquish and a new Vanquish. Reports also indicate that a fully-electric supercar to replace the Tesla Roadster will soon be available.

We won’t be surprised if AMG’s biturbo 4.0 liter V8 paired with an electric motor, as was the case in last year’s GT Concept. This combination produces an incredible combined output of 805 horsepower (660 kilowatts).

Palmer also revealed that the new mid-engined car will feature a carbon fiber monocoque and aluminum sub-frames. This makes it very different from the 2019 Vantage’s extruded aluminum and bonded aluminum architecture. The active aero trickery that will be used in the
