The 'heart' of the million-dollar Aston Martin AM-RB 001 is a naturally aspirated V12 engine with a capacity of 6.0-7.0 liters and a maximum capacity of 1,000 horsepower.

Aston Martin AM-RB 001 is a hypercar that was first revealed in July this year. It is expected that Aston Martin AM-RB 001 will be available to customers in early 2018.

Recently, Aston Martin has decided to announce more information about the AM-RB 001 supercar. Accordingly, Aston Martin's new hypercar will have a maximum speed of up to 250 mph, equivalent to 402 km/h.

If the above information is true, the Aston Martin AM-RB 001 will become one of the supercars with the highest top speed in the world and a formidable competitor to the Bugatti Chiron.

This information was revealed by Mr. Marek Reichman, Aston Martin's design director, in an interview with a reporter from Motoring in Australia. According to Mr. Reichman, the million-dollar Aston Martin AM-RB 001 will be able to corner with a gravitational acceleration of 4.5 G, equivalent to 44,145 meters/second squared.

The naturally aspirated V12 engine, which produces a maximum power of 1,000 horsepower in the Aston Martin AM-RB 001, will have a displacement of 6.0 to 7.0 liters, said Reichman. This engine will have a wider V-angle than the 5.2-liter, twin-turbocharged 12-cylinder gasoline engine currently used in the Aston Martin DB11. This design reduces the overall height of the engine, which means a lower center of gravity. In addition, the engine is combined with a "bespoke" sequential single-clutch transmission from Xtrac.

The product of a collaboration between Aston Martin, legendary Formula 1 engineer and designer Adrian Newey and the Red Bull racing team, the AM-RB 001 impresses with its low-to-the-ground design. Mr. Reichman affirmed that the Aston Martin AM-RB 001 is almost complete in terms of design.

When it hits the market in 2018, the Aston Martin AM-RB 001 will only have minor design changes such as the cooling system and aerodynamics. Notably, the Aston Martin AM-RB 001 will not have traditional rearview mirrors like the show car. Instead, on the A-pillar of the Aston Martin AM-RB 001, there will be a camera instead of a rearview mirror.

Entering the car through the gull-wing doors, the driver will find a seat designed specifically for him or her. Aston Martin will build the seat based on the driver’s body, similar to the steering wheel and pedals. These details will only be slightly adjustable, so not everyone who wants to test drive the Aston Martin AM-RB 001 will be able to.

According to Aston Martin, all 150 AM-RB 001s have found their owners. There is also a waiting list of hundreds of customers. If one buyer gives up, another will take their place. The Aston Martin AM-RB 001 is likely to cost up to $4 million.

In addition to the street version, there are also 2 Aston Martin AM-RB 001 for racing. It is expected that the production version of this super car will not use the current Aston Martin AM-RB 001 name.
