But this is a road car?


Aston claiming the dynamic brief for the car is to be class-leading on both road and track. (Autocar)

You're right - no mention of that at all in this article but Auto Express did. The pictures must show it some way off final then.

The Aston Vagine.

Pretty sure it won't be as that interior isn't and neither will that bonnet/front pass pedestrian crash regs' as it is. And unless it will be used in a rain free country it is going to need wipers and that means that bonnet will be raised to get the motor and spindles underneath it. It has a long way to go to meet production form. I let you point out where the mirrors/rear vie screens are being hidden?

Well, the Vanquish was sporting these funky little numbers. Conjecture suggests the Valhalla might sprout something similar.

I hoped the design is production ready/not to be changed materially. Put it differently, I would be annoyed if it changed substantially if I had my deposit down (can't afford so don't have, but others on here do)

I think that this chortle-worth comment underlines that fact that Pistonheads is overwhelmingly male dominated! (not a criticism btw, just enjoyable to see!).

Will be a Hella of car whatever its called

[bozzy.]

In my student years I used to work on the ride named “Valhalla” at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

Let’s hope Aston Martin’s attempt is a little more reliable!

[simonrockman]

the Aston Martin factory is on the site where the V Bombers were made so Vulcan, Victor and Valiant.

Vulva is appropriate - It looks gash.

[blearyeyedboy]

An Aston Martin Vesper might make it into a Bond film or two?

An electric-only Aston Martin Virtue?

I could play this game all night and not come up witha name as poor as Valhalla. Whatever you're paying your creative guys, AM, it's too much.

Lovely car, though.

Aston Vanguard?

[mclwanB]

Vixen?

Venom?

If they go this way with the DB replacement Verisimilitude

I think that Vulcan would have suited the valkyrie better personally!

[mclwanB]

Whatever 007 must be looking forward to his next company car! Although the valkyrie would have as much room for gadgets as most of his female companion's attire has...

That's one too many syllables IMHO.

I'm sure three syllables is manageable for most.
There's plenty of longer ones that don't evoke as much. LaFerrari, Portofino, Aventador or even the ridiculously long..... Range Rover Evoque 2.0 TD4 E-Capability 4x4 HSE Dynamic , haha!
