Aston Martin Valhalla project 2021-02-26 15:41:00

Aston Martin will leverage its access to the Mercedes-Benz parts shelf to revise the Valhalla it plans to release in the coming years. Specifications haven't been finalized yet, but the supercar will most likely arrive with a German heart.

 

阿斯顿·马丁将利用其对梅赛德斯-奔驰(Mercedes-Benz)零部件货架的使用权，修订其计划在未来几年推出的瓦尔哈拉(Valhalla)。具体规格还没有最终确定，但这款超级跑车很可能会带着一颗德国心到来。

 

Announced in early 2019 as the Project 003, and named Valhalla later that year, the Ferrari-punching model was on track to make its debut with a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 mounted behind its passenger compartment. Aston Martin proudly pointed out that the six was the first engine it developed in-house since the Tadek Marek-designed 5.3-liter V8 entered production in 1969. These plans changed after Daimler purchased a 20% stake in the firm, however.

 

2019年初，这款名为Project 003、同年晚些时候被命名为Valhalla的法拉利冲压车型首次亮相时，乘客舱后面安装了一辆3.0升涡轮增压V6发动机。阿斯顿·马丁自豪地指出，这款6缸发动机是自1969年Tadek marek设计的5.3升V8发动机投入生产以来，阿斯顿·马丁首次自主研发的发动机。然而，在戴姆勒收购了该公司20%的股份后，这些计划发生了变化。

 

 

Aston Martin boss Tobias Moers (whose last position was at the head of Mercedes-AMG) told investors that his team is "re-assessing" the Valhalla, and that it will "probably have a different drivetrain" than the concept. He didn't reveal what the model will be powered by, and he stressed that nothing is off the table. Mercedes-Benz has a wide range of four-, six-, eight-, and 12-cylinder engines in its parts bin, plus hybrid technology and electric motors.

 

 

Electrification remains in the pipeline regardless of the path the company chooses to take.

无论公司选择哪条道路，电气化仍在进行中。

 

 

"With the transformational technology agreement with Mercedes-Benz, there are other chances for us regarding combustion engines, but we still have an electrified drivetrain," he said without providing more specific details.

 

"与梅赛德斯-奔驰达成改造技术协议后，我们在内燃机方面还有其他机会，但我们仍拥有电气化传动系统，"他表示，但未提供更多具体细节。

 

 

It sounds like Aston will make visual tweaks to the Valhalla, too, because Moers revealed that buyers will be shown an updated version of the car in the next four months. It's unclear whether it will be presented to the public, too. Regardless, the car's introduction is tentatively scheduled for late 2023, so it will likely arrive here as a 2024 model.

 

听起来Aston也会对Valhalla进行视觉上的调整，因为莫尔斯透露买家将会在接下来的四个月里看到这款车的升级版。目前还不清楚它是否也会向公众展示。不管怎样，这款车的推出暂定在2023年底，所以它可能会在2024年上市。

 

 

Moers confirmed that a plug-in hybrid model with what he described as "a reasonable electric range" will join the Aston Martin range in the coming years, too. He added that three new variants of the DBX, the firm's first SUV, are on their way as well. One is a plug-in hybrid. Details about the others aren't known, but another could be a sportier version positioned at the top of the range. Finally, the first electric Aston Martin will arrive in about 2025.

 

莫尔斯证实，一款插电式混合动力车也将在未来几年加入阿斯顿·马丁的行列，他将其描述为“合理的电动续航里程”。他补充说，该公司首款SUV DBX的三款新车型也正在研发中。一种是插电式混合动力车。其他车型的细节尚不清楚，但另一款车型可能是一款更运动的版本，位于该系列的顶部。最后，第一辆电动阿斯顿·马丁将在2025年左右问世。
