YOUR HANDY ASTON EXPLAINER

Valkyrie I Aston’s shortcut to mid-engined credibilit­y – a road-legal, Red Bull-sculpted, £2.5m hypercar with a 1160bhp hybrid V12.

⊲ Valkyrie AMR Pro I As above but track-only, the Valkyrie AMR Pro is the ultimate Valkyrie – all the hybrid V12 glory but without any road-legal compromise­s.

⊲ AM-RB 003 I Less extreme than Valkyrie but still built around a carbonfibr­e tub. Crucially, the wailing V12 is swapped for a more powerful version of Vanquish’s hybrid-assisted V6. Just 500 will be built, and it’ll be with us before Vanquish; late 2021/2022.

⊲ Vanquish I The new £200k mid-engined Ferrari 488 (now F8 Tributo) and Huracan rival. Aluminium tub, hybrid V6 powertrain. Due on sale in 2022.
