Aston Martin ‘Project 003’ Hybrid Hypercar TEASED

The Aston Martin Project 003 hybrid hypercar is teased as AML plan to reveal the ‘son of Valkyrie’ to fill the gap below the Valkyrie.

We’ve already had Aston Martin Project 001 and 002 in the guise of the Valkyrie and Valkyrie AMR Pro, and next up is the Aston Martin 003, designed to sit under the Valkyrie and deliver a £1 million hybrid hypercar which is less extreme and a bit more practical.

This isn’t Aston’s planned competitor for the Ferrari 488, but a car more in the mould of LaFerrari or McLaren P1; a hypercar to offer extreme performance but in a more usable and practical way than the Valkyrie. And it’s the next step in Aston’s plans for a mid-engined range.

It will come with a turbocharged petrol electric hybrid powerplant, with active aero and active suspension, a lightweight structure and extreme performance, although Aston say it will be practical enough to carry luggage (well, a bit).

Aston Martin boss, Andy Palmer, said:

It was always the intention for the Aston Martin Valkyrie to be a once-in-a lifetime project, however, it was also vital to us that Valkyrie would create a legacy: a direct descendent that would also set new standards within its own area of the hypercar market, creating a bloodline of highly specialised, limited production machines that can exist in parallel with Aston Martin’s series production models. I’m thrilled to announce that this car is the Project ‘003’, and our next step into a dynamic and exacting arena.

Aston Martin are building 500 Project 3 cars – in LHD and RHD – with plans for an arrival in 2021.
