Like something out of a James Bond Movie, the Aston Martin hypercar (codenamed AM-RB 001) looks ultra modern and sleekly futuristic. To create the prototype, the luxury automotive manufacturer partnered with Red Bull Racing, a Formula One team. Dr. Andy Palmer, Aston Martin President and CEO, explained, “The AM-RB 001 is a truly remarkable project and something of which I’m extremely proud. To have Aston Martin working alongside Adrian Newey of Red Bull Racing and the invaluable assistance of project partner AF Racing AG is an extraordinary creative collaboration. One that unites the very best of road and racecar thinking. As the project gathers pace its clear the end result will be a truly history-making hypercar that sets incredible new benchmarks for packaging, efficiency and performance and an achievement that elevates Aston Martin to the very highest level.” Marek Reichman, Aston Martin’s Chief Creative Officer, added, “Working so closely alongside Adrian and an organization like Red Bull Racing is a fabulous experience. By definition the objectives we’ve set for the car ensures there has never been an Aston Martin - or any car, actually - quite like the AM-RB 001. The shared challenge has been finding that magical tipping point where we achieve the most efficient engineering solutions and the most beautiful styling solutions without any compromises. My personal challenge has been expressing the AM-RB 001’s extraordinary performance and the unique way in which it delivers that performance. Its style reflects its revolutionary nature, while possessing the form and beauty that makes it unmistakably an Aston Martin.” The team is excited to move the car into production. There will be between 99 and 150 AM-RB 001 road models produced, including prototypes and track-only versions. Keep an eye out for this automobile of the future, hitting the roads in 2018. Everyone at indiGO Auto Group is looking forward to seeing the finished product and testing the innovative engineering on the roads of Rancho Mirage.

Aston Martin's New Concept: The Lagonda

The world of Aston Martin is evolving with an all-new concept car. The Lagonda Vision Concept is planned to debut in 2021, and it will be the world’s first zero-emission luxury vehicle. The concept is both genius and intriguing. “The Lagonda Vision Concept is an incredibly bold design statement. The electrification revolution means there is no longer any need for horse and carriage design, and our new concept shows the scope of design opportunities that open up once you no longer need to provide space for a large power source directly in front of the passenger compartment. In the Lagonda Vision Concept, the batteries occupy the floor of the car. Everything above that line belongs to us,” said Aston Martin EVP and Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman. Bonus? The all-new concept utilizes powerful electric batteries, which will enable it to cover up to 400 miles between charges. Interested in learning more about the Lagonda Vision Concept coming in 2021?

The DB11 Now Available With V8 Engine

Aston Martin has been hard at work upgrading the DB11. The DB11 is now offered with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine making the Aston Martin quicker than ever before. “As an engineer I find the DB11 a fascinating car. One with great depth of character and ability. Of course the V12-engined variant is an icon - an ultimate, if you like, but the V8 is very much its own car. One with a distinct and carefully crafted character that’s truly seductive. It has been hugely rewarding to put our stamp on this new engine - both in the way it sounds and performs - and to use its impressive attributes as the impetus to reveal a little more of the DB11’s sporting character,” commented Aston Martin’s Chief Technical Officer, Max Szwaj. The DB11 can take off from 0 to 60mph in just a matter of 3.8 seconds. The model is beyond impressive as it reaches a max speed of 187 mph effortlessly. The new engine is much lighter, allowing the DB11 to have an increased sense of agility. The engine is not the only thing that has changed within the model. There has been a subtle, unique change in the design. The alloy wheel finish, dark headlamp bezels and a pair of bennet vents have been featured on the upgraded DB11. The V8-powerred DB11 will be available in the US late this year. Interested in pre-ordering your very own DB11 Aston Martin?
