Production Of Aston Martin's Submersible, Project Neptune, To Start Soon

Aston Martin and Triton Submarines announced the completion of the design phase for Project Neptune, and the commencement of the first production model ahead of its public unveiling later this year. Both Aston Martin and Triton have worked to refine the detailed design of the submersible's hydrodynamics, body styling and interior packaging afterall it wears the Aston Martin wings right?

Project Neptune's final technical specification was announced as well and it confirmed that the submersible will be able to dive to depths of 500 metres and carry two passengers and a pilot. By improving the hydrodynamic efficiency, reducing frontal area, and increasing the power; the submersible will have an anticipated sprint speed in excess of 5 knots and approximately four times the acceleration of Triton's flagship 3300/3 model.

Marek Reichman, Aston Martin EVP and Chief Creative Officer said, "The exterior design of Project Neptune owes a lot to the pursuit of performance. As with the Aston Martin Valkyrie, the hyper-car we are developing with Red Bull Advanced Technologies, we have afforded as much attention to the hydrodynamics of the underside as we have the visible surfaces. Some of that detail may never be seen, but its effect will certainly be felt Project Neptune's interior was a great challenge. Unlike a sports car where the interiors are installed into an open-sided cabin before the doors are fitted, everything you see inside will be lowered through the upper-hatch and assembled within the completed sphere of the pressure hull. We have been able to present a congruous aesthetic that defies its multi-part complex installation."

Aston Martin and Triton Submarines will be welcoming prospective buyers to explore such possibilities at this week's LYBRA Superyacht Show in Barcelona, Spain and if you want one, well you can book it at any Aston Martin car dealership.
