Hybrid Hustle

Following their DB12 and Valkyrie models, it seems Aston is getting the hang of this supercar thing. So much so they're planning to launch eight more by 2026 - starting with their first plug-in hybrid, the Valhalla. Unlike the 2019 concept, the Valhalla ghosts the V6, and follows the Vantage with a twin turbo V8 by tech partner Mercedes Benz AMG.

Like AMG's GT Black Series, this V8 features a flat-plane crank but also gets into the record books as the most responsive V8 ever fitted to an Aston Martin. Humble brag aside, it also features adjustable flaps for that authentic Aston sound we all love.
