right so what do we think guys it's a
quite challenging isn't it this is the
new maganda vision concept and it leads
on from the maganda draft that we saw
last year and the frankly quite hideous
maganda SUV concept that we saw in 2009
but this is a much clearer idea of where
Aston Martin wants to take this revived
brand what is it well it's an
all-electric super limo luxury car
interesting because I only Aston can
really do this sort of stuff now that
it's got the look on the brand it can
take on rolls-royce with big luxury cars
like this but it can also take on
Ferrari with a mid-engine supercar as
one of those coming next year I'll be
honest I saw some pictures of this
before the show and I wasn't totally
convinced wasn't my favorite thing but
I've been looking around it now in the
flesh and honestly I'm in awe Lagaan
ders have always been these slightly
quirky mad cars there's a bit of DB 11
in the rear deck quite like that and
then you've got this big wedgie shape
running down to the front bonnet with
echoes of the Williams towns lagonda
from 1975 it's a bit mad but I quite
like it let's take a look inside because
the madness continues few more details
for you it's got a range of 400 miles it
supposedly uses solid-state batteries
which you can charge wirelessly pretty
much par for the course with concept
cars in here well
less of an interiors we know it more of
a lounge and leave you like velour and
sheepskin where you're going to love it
in here that passenger seat it's turned
around it's sociable this supposedly a
level of autonomy in here so it's a more
relaxed laid-back way to conduct your
affairs I'm quite a fan of it actually
it's different isn't it feels fresh it's
not just leather and aluminium and all
the normal things that we see is making
the most of the fact that this car is
electric it's not going to be everyone's
cup of tea this car it is quite
challenging it is mmm a bold move from
Aston Martin but if their intention was
to grab our attention well they've well
and truly got it there's another car
over here I want to show you speaking of
attention-grabbing
oh yeah there it is painted in neon
colors over here now this is what
happens when you take the Aston Martin
very hyper car and unshackle it from
Road car rules it's called the AMR pro
and it's basically the track only
version of the Valkyrie hyper car and
it's not often I'm totally stunned and
taken aback by something but this is
just epic
of course the Valkyrie comes from the
brain of Adrian Newey the design chief
for Red Bull f1 and you get the feeling
that when he came up with the car this
was what he had in his mind from the
beginning
we've also got some numbers to go with
it they've been a bit coy about the road
car but now they're telling us back
there there is a six point five liter
naturally aspirated v12 hi revving of
course I can only imagine how good that
is going to sound and that's twinned
with an energy recovery curse system
like you get an f1 for an extra boost so
1,100 horsepower we're told but this
thing weighs less than a thousand
kilograms so that one to one pad away
Tracy oh absolutely nailed it and of
course you might notice there's some
wings and some fins and some add-ons
we'll have a closer look at them in a
minute but this thing will produce up to
a thousand kilograms of downforce
yes that means you could probably
theoretically drive one on the ceiling
and anything asin's gonna let us do that
anytime soon let's just have a quick
look around it because these details
I've never seen anything like it before
front spoiler basically a sideboard
sticking out at the front of the car
their headlights well you don't need
normal headlights if we can be driving
around a racetrack the wheels completely
enclosed super aerodynamic they gap
between the wheel and the wheel arch
there yeah there might be a bit of an
artistic license for the concept car
going on there but follow me down
because you've got these incredible fins
coming off here it's basically more
space than it is bodywork this car look
through there the wishbones on the
suspension absolute pieces of art that
even these carbon-fiber side pods have
little slits and vents in them this car
could honestly only come from the mind
of an engineer obsessed with
aerodynamics and as we all know that is
a juniors obsession and I've saved the
best til last look at this that's not a
diffuser it's a traffic tunnel I bet you
I could I could crawl in there honestly
if I didn't have a big breakfast I could
have gone all the way through to the
other side of that car absolutely
astonishing I'm told these exhausts are
gonna get up to about 800 degrees
Celsius so they might want to put a
little bit of flame proofing on the wing
here now going to point out the obvious
this thing still is a model the real
thing we've got another year to wait
that's if they let us get anywhere near
it and they let us Smith a test drive of
it but they're already claiming it will
pull 3G in corners and it's probably no
coincidence that if you look over there
you'll see red bull's latest f1 car
complete with Aston Martin branding of
course
so it's feasible that this thing spawned
from a road car could be as quick as
that around the racetrack obviously mind
blown
