Aston Martin will be debuting its new £1.5 million ‘hypercar’ in Bond 25, the imposing Valhalla, as one of three set to appear in the new chapter of the veteran spy series.
Boasting a twin-turbo V6 with a “high output”, along with a battery-electric motor, the hybrid is capable of speeds in excess of 200mph, and will do zero to 60mph in under three seconds. The term ‘hypercar’ is used in the motoring industry to describe only the highest-performing supercars.
There will also be a classic DB5 in the movie, which featured in Bond’s jaunt to Scotland in Skyfall, and a V8, last seen in The Living Daylights, back in 1987.
Of the car’s norse moniker, the British car manufacturer’s CEO Andy Palmer said: “Aston Martin model names always attract a lot of attention. They do so because they invariably capture an emotion or tell a story.
“Norse mythology contains such powerful language and rich storytelling it felt only right that the AM-RB 003 (as it was formerly named) should follow the Valkyrie’s theme.”
