Supercars? They\u2019re old-hat. What the billionaires of the world really need are submarines. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s according to Aston Martin, anyway. Last week, the British marque took the wraps off of Project Neptune, a two-seater submersible that the company plans to build with Triton Submarines. <\/p>\n
The latter company is mostly famous for building high-tech submarines for researchers and deep-sea explorers. But with the Aston Martin tie-up, they\u2019re obviously eyeing a gap in the billionaire playboy market. <\/p>\n
And we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll agree that, on the looks alone, the two companies are on to something. The sleek lines certainly evoke something of the Aston Martin DB11, one of our favourite looking cars right now. <\/p>\n
And don\u2019t be fooled into thinking that Project Neptune is just a design study or concept. It may have been penned by Aston Martin Consulting, the design wing of the brand, but both Aston and Triton say that they\u2019re committed to building this thing. <\/p>\n
What\u2019s more, this isn\u2019t Aston Martin\u2019s first foray into nautical motoring. Last year, the company announced the AM37 Aston Speedboat \u2013 a very pretty Riviera-style cruiser. The brand made good on its promise to build that, so we wouldn\u2019t be at all surprised to see test, um, dives of the Project Neptune hitting the internet sometime next year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
