Previously known as the kinda cold AM-RB 001, the new identity means Aston can start shaping the marketing activities around the name. And what a name it is. It’s got to rank right up there with Interceptor as one of the coolest names ever to be put on a car.

Otherwise there’s nothing more to tell, yet. Check out our story from a few weeks ago for juicy details on the drivetrain and the companies involved.

Valkyries are the mythical creatures that chose who is to die and who is to survive. I can already see that Aston will drop that name as soon as one of them ends up in a fatal accident.
