This is Aston Martin’s F1 car for the road and track. Designed by Adrian Newey, it has a Cosworth 6.5-litre V12 engine that screams to over 11,000rpm, but it also has an e-motor in the seven-speed sequential gearbox for a total of 1,139bhp. Weight? Just 1,270kg dry. If this doesn’t beat the undeniably rapid but really quite lardy SF90... questions are going to be asked.
