Aston Martin is already known for producing unreal supercars that stand at the front of automotive innovation. But Aston Martin’s concept cars, like the Volante Vision, go so far as to challenge the very idea of what a car is.
Concept cars are examples of innovation and growth in the automotive industry. They show both the direction manufacturers aim to follow and the possibilities that could one day be a reality for consumers. And supercar manufacturers like Aston Martin have the resources and vision to produce concept cars that transcend expectations.

The V12 Speedster is like a Ferrari on steroids. Featuring two seats reminiscent of a pilot’s cockpit and an aesthetic that carries on the Aston Martin racing reputation, the V12 Speedster is a futuristic piece of fast-moving machinery.
The body itself is made of only pure essentials—two seats, side mirrors, and a sleek exterior. Each seat makes up its own pod, as they’re divided by a barrier that stretches from the front bumper to the back seat. While the barrier may not seem ideal, it’s important for maximizing comfort and safety when you’re moving at such high speeds.
With its soft enveloping seats, unique design, and smooth body, the Speedster is like a supercar from a movie about awesome supercars.
Aston Martin Valhalla
The Vallhalla is an advanced mid-engined supercar that looks like a street-legal Bat Mobile. In terms of performance, it isn’t far off. With 937 horsepower and three unique motors, the Valhalla is capable of topping 200 miles per hour and accelerates from 0-60 in less than 2.5 seconds.
The interior is surprisingly simplistic, though it allows owners to focus on what really matters: performance. Inside the cabin, drivers will see two seats with a small divider between them. The driver's seat is placed directly behind a squarish wooden steering wheel and a variety of standard digital dials. There is no infotainment screen, though it seems cars may come equipped with a phone holder. The passenger side is nearly empty, including only the bare essentials such as a soft seat and some basic window controls embedded in the center console.
While the simple design may seem a little disappointing, it’s meant to send a single message: The Valhalla is built for speed.
Vanquish Vision
If the Valhalla is a real-life Bat Mobile, the Vanquish Vision is whatever Bruce Wayne drives on weekends. Featuring a similar two-seat design to the Valhalla, the Vanquish Vision deviates aesthetically in the simple, smooth exterior design. Rather than incorporating detailed intricacies like the Valhalla, the Vanquish Vision embraces a smooth, continuous look that makes the Vision feel a bit more professional.
The Vanquish Vision also seems to make better use of Aston Martin’s focus on aerodynamics. The body is mere inches from the floor, the hood swoops towards the road and curves under the front bumper to force air above and beneath, and the back bumper curves upwards, giving any air trapped beneath the vehicle ample space to disperse.
While Aston Martin hasn’t yet released any details about the Vanquish Vision’s performance specs, driving the Vision is sure to feel like flying.
Volante Vision
Speaking of flying, the Volante Vision pushes the boundaries of what we think of as a car. For starters, it doesn’t even have wheels. Instead, the Volante comes with four angular legs and three propellers—two in the front and one in the rear.
If you’re having trouble understanding what that might look like, imagine taking a jet plane from a comic book and sticking it on top of an oversized drone. Now, take that image and spend millions of dollars making it look like the kind of toy, helicopter, spacecraft, or jet plane that made you want to be a pilot when you were five years old.
While the Volante Vision is truly a futuristic image of transportation, that future may be further off than one would hope. Even in this early stage of development, Aston Martin is expecting a single unit to cost upwards of $8,700,000. While it's possible that such vehicles could become commonplace in the distant future, it seems like the Volante will be more concept than car for quite a while.
