The Aston Martin and Red Bull hypercar has a fitting name at last: Valkyrie. Aston has just announced it at the Geneva Motor Show.

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.

It doesn’t look very beautiful. But it is special and the specs will be cool.

About 800 of the Porsche 918.
About 400 of the McLaren P1.
About 1500 of the Ferrari LaFerrari.

The Aston will only make 100 of these.

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.

Well, the Valkyrja were really the female warrior spirits that carried slain soldiers to Valhöll (commonly Valhalla). So it should become an ambulance.

Nebula sounds much better but they’re sticking with the “V”
