Aston Martin Holdings Ltd.’s upcoming AM-RB 003 hybrid hypercar will generate 1,000 hp, according to dealer brochures obtained by Carscoops.
Due in 2021, the all-new Valhalla coupe will team one or more electric motors with a high-powered V-6 engine and an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The resulting 1,000-hp output matches that of Aston Martin’s flagship Valkyrie model, which is powered by a 6.5-liter V-12 engine.
The 003 will weigh less than 3,000 lbs and be able to sprint from zero to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of more than 220 mph, Carscoops says. Confirming previous reports, the web site says the new vehicle will cost about $1.1 million.
