It's only just received a name, but the Aston
Martin Valhalla has already been confirmed for the next instalment of
the James Bond franchise, tentatively titled “Bond 25.”
The hybrid hypercar will star alongside two other Aston
Martins in the new film, which is due out April 2020.
They are the iconic DB5 that first appeared in
“Goldfinger”and a 1985 V8 Vantage that we last saw in “The Living Daylights.”
The V8
Vantage was recently spotted during a film shoot at Norway's famous
Atlantic Ocean Road.
It isn't clear who will be driving all of the cars this time
around but it's a safe bet Bond, played by Daniel Craig, will be behind the
wheel of the Valhalla.
The car, previously known by its code name AM-RB 003,
was shown
in concept form at March's Geneva International Motor Show. It is
expected to pack a 1,000-horsepower powertrain comprised of an electric motor
on the front axle and a turbocharged V-6 powering the rear axle to create an
all-wheel-drive system. Hooked up with the engine is thought to be an 8-speed
dual-clutch transmission, and together the combination should be good to send
the hypercar from 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds. The top speed is expected to be 220
mph.
As for the new Bond movie, we know that Rami Malek will play
the villain while Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw and Ralph Fiennes are all
returning as the respective MI6 agents Eve Moneypenny, Q and M.
