Aston Martin's AM-RB 003 is the entry-level Valkyrie we've been dreaming of

With a turbocharged hybrid V6 and all kinds of super clever aero trickery, this mid-engined Aston has got its sights set on McLaren.

As the entry point to a lineup that also includes the utterly bananas Valkyrie, AM-RB 003 shares some design touches with its big sister.

It also has a couple of throwback touches to the gorgeous Aston Martin Vulcan. Check out these taillights.

The side profile looks a little like the McLaren 720S until you see how deeply concave the scoops on the doors are.

AM-RB 003 is the first Aston in years to use an engine that was designed entirely in-house.

The turbocharged hybrid-electric V6 also uses the wildly innovative Nexcel oil change system from Castrol, allowing for oil changes in just 90 seconds.

Where the Valkyrie is primarily envisioned as a track car that can see a bit of road use, AM-RB 003 will flip that dynamic somewhat.

With its various throttle, gearbox and suspension tunes being more focused on road use.

Aston Martin is being somewhat cagey when it comes to specific figures and details on AM-RB 003.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
