Legendary British automaker Aston Martin will release in 2023 a spectacular new kind of immersive supercar, that the company says is driver centric.

It's a vital, majestic, plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that is inspired by Formula 1 race cars and has the luxurious interior of a hot sports car. This new hybrid powertrain vehicle is a first for Aston Martin and marks the beginning of a new automotive journey for the luxury carmaker which was secret agent 007 James Bond's favorite way to drive.
