Red Bull Racing and Aston Martin's hypercar has officially been named, with the car previously being labelled the AM-RB 001. It has now emerged that the car will be called the Aston Martin Valkyrie.
Aston Martin continues the long tradition of calling their cars names that begin with the letter 'V'. This started back in 1951, with the Aston Martin Vantage.
Aston Martin’s Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman, Valkyrie perfectly captures the drama of what is not only the ultimate Aston Martin, but the ultimate expression of hypercar design, engineering and performance: "Aston Martin model names have deep meaning. They need to inspire and excite. To tell a story and enrich a narrative that stretches back some 104-years.
"The Aston Martin Valkyrie is an incredibly special car that demands an equally remarkable name; an uncompromising car that leaves nothing in reserve. The connotations of power and honour, of being chosen by the Gods are so evocative, and so pertinent to a car that only a fortunate few will ever experience."
Please welcome... the Aston Martin Valkyrie.
