Speaking of the road, Project 003 will indeed be designed for it. The car will offer "practical concessions" like luggage space, Aston says, and it'll be made road-legal "in all markets" with both left- and right-hand-drive versions. A total of 500 cars will be made and sold, with the first due to customers in late 2021. That's a big jump over the company's prior hypercars: just 150 Valkyrie road cars and 25 Valkyrie AMR Pro track cars were sold.

"It was always the intention for the Aston Martin Valkyrie to be a once-in-a-lifetime project," Aston Martin President Andy Palmer said in a statement, "however, it was also vital to us that Valkyrie would create a legacy: a direct descendent that would also set new standards within its own area of the hypercar market, creating a bloodline of highly specialized, limited-production machines that can exist in parallel with Aston Martin's series production models."
