That name is just a temporary one. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/could-aston-martins-am-rb-003-hypercar-get-the-name-valhalla\/\">The rumored name is Valhalla<\/a>, but that is just a rumor at this point. <strong>Rix discusses how the AM-RM 003 is similar in many ways to the Valkyrie. He also points out the ways in which it&#8217;s different. For example, the powertrain. Instead of a shrieking V12, the car gets a V6 hybrid powertrain.<\/strong> Rix doesn&#8217;t have all the answers yet, though he makes some predictions. Aston is still keeping most of the truly good things under wraps.<\/p>\n<p>Rix goes all in on the styling and exterior and interior design of the car. <strong>Pointing out things like the Flex Foil technology in the rear wing, the 3D printed center console on the inside, the unique and minimalist integration of technology<\/strong> on the inside of the car, and the seats that are integrated into the carbon fiber tub of the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Then Rix moves on to the Vanquish, which will compete with Ferrari, McLaren, and Lamborghini&#8217;s supercars. Again, Rix doesn&#8217;t have all the answers. <strong>Aston keeps him out of the car and doesn&#8217;t let him get into too many of the technical details.<\/strong> The car is a few years away from production so, it&#8217;s really no surprise that Aston is keeping things under wraps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s Get In Close Jack Rix of Top Gear recently got to spend time with both the Aston Martin Vanquish and the AM-RB 003.
