It appears that Adrian Newey at Aston Martin is testing a working physical version of a prototype that looks like an evolution of the Red Bull X.

It's interesting looking...

Well yes, it is a concept inherited from the Red Bull X. A commission that supposedly should have been kept secret, ordered by an American millionaire for Adrian Newey at Aston Martin, and which is several seconds faster per lap than current F1 cars.

Aston Martin acaba de construir el coche de F1 más rápido de la historia, pero no lo va a pilotar Fernando Alonso

¿Cómo sería un coche de Fórmula 1 sin estar atados a un reglamento? Es la gran pregunta que muchos se han hecho alguna vez, y que ha dado lugar a multitud de...

It could be Elon Musk or another famous or less infamous billionaire who has ordered this Batmobile looking car, could be inspired from movies rather than video games.

The purpose of the commission is to build "what a Formula 1 car could be like with current technology without being restricted by regulations", aka the same as the X-series prototypes.

Then probably inspired by video games like Gran Turismo, or something similar on other consoles & PC. I have only played GT series & never owned other consoles or used my gaming PC for other types of games than FPS{first person shooter}. So any of you multi-console experienced gamers have any plausible suggestions for what video games [non PS] that could inspire that Aston Martin prototype?

Interesting, looks like a cross between an F1 car and a WEC Hypercar.

The video is unavailable and these two renders are completely different...why does this seem like AI render nonsense that some random website picked up? If it doesn't make sense, don't spread it.

It's supossedly Ken Griffin, who already has a substantial car collection. Probably inspired by nothing more than wanting a one-off Adrian Newey creation.

Humm. You're right that the images don't match; they look like results of AI prompts meant to generate 'renders' based on what’s seen in the video.

However, I've seen references to the news in quite a few digital automotive outlets. It all stems from a video taken during the Silverstone tests that seems real, and there are several people who were at the circuit who back it up. From that point on, it seems the media jumped the gun, speculating and asking AI to generate higher-resolution images.

The video is widely circulated on TikTok and other platforms, and you can find it on several YouTube profiles like this one:



But having said that, with how easy it is to fake images and videos these days, I’m not going to be the one to claim it’s 100% real since I haven't seen it firsthand.

That thing, real or not, needs smoke screen ports, and pop out rocket launcher and mini gun pods, maybe a lazer beam projector pod, grappling hook launcher and oh yeah, don't forget the ejection seat, for when it gets all blowed up in whichever batman movie it appears in.

According to Gordie Mutch, its a 2024 chassis that's had the Valkyrie V12 shoehorned into it rather than the F1 hybrid V6
