Two years after Aston Martin debuted the striking but clumsily titled AM-RB 003 concept, the final production version has arrived with a much simpler name: Valhalla.

The automaker revealed the hybrid supercar last week. It’s a 937-horsepower hybrid beast, with a top speed of 350 kilometers per hour and the ability to go from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in under 2.5 seconds. It does this by pairing a 740-horsepower twin-turbo V8 engine with a pair of electric motors (one on each axle) and by leveraging active aerodynamics at the front of the car and with the rear spoiler as well as tunnels underneath the car that can direct the air — tricks Aston Martin developed on the Valhalla’s predecessor, the Valkyrie.

A mostly carbon fiber body keeps things light enough at 1,550 kilograms, though there are more nooks and crannies in the design than can be found in the ultra-smooth Valkyrie. Aston Martin says that, inside, there’s a new infotainment system running on a central touchscreen that also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto — meaning the smartphone-mounted system from the AM-RB 003 concept has been mercifully discarded.

There are some other features that should make the Valhalla a lot more liveable day to day, too. The LED matrix headlights are adaptive and have automatic high-beams, and a surround-view camera system is optional. The Valhalla also comes with adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring and forward-collision warning.

Aston isn’t saying anything about when the Valhalla will go on sale or how many will be built. All told, the Valhalla seems like it matches up well with some other hybrid supercars like Ferrari’s SF90 Stradale, for whatever that’s worth. Very few will be made, and they will cost an astronomical amount.

Considering Aston Martin’s recent history, though, it may not surprise you that there’s one last bit of intrigue with this car. The internal combustion engine comes from Mercedes-Benz, which provides the overall power unit to Aston Martin’s F1 team.
