Aston Martin

has officially announced its next mid-engine

supercar

with a teaser and a working name: “Project 003.” From the teaser image, it should be a stunner with a body that’s all curves and wide athletic haunches. We also dig the exhaust outlets through the engine cover. Aston says the supercar will borrow some technology from the

Valkyrie

, with that car’s lightweight construction, active aerodynamics and active suspension likely candidates. Still, Project 003 will be a very different vehicle.

For one thing, it doesn’t have an

absurdly high-revving naturally aspirated V12

. Instead, it’s a gas-powered, turbocharged

hybrid

. Aston Martin hasn’t said how many cylinders, but it seems safe to say it will have at least eight. Then there’s the fact that this will be more practical for road use, with Aston specifically mentioning that this car will actually have luggage space. How novel! We expect that the car will be a bit more civilized in the ride and

noise departments

, too.

Aston Martin says that the first of 500 total examples will reach owners starting in late 2021. While it hasn’t said for sure, we expect to see the car unveiled at the

Geneva Motor Show

. Between the show and when it reaches customers, it will probably get a real name, just as the Valkyrie began life as Project 001, and the

Valkyrie AMR Pro

was Project 002.
