The Aston Martin name will soon be found on the
bottom of the world's seas and oceans, as the British automaker has teamed up
with Triton Submarines LLC, a submersible manufacturer. Codenamed 'Project
Neptune', the venture is Aston Martin Consulting's first project, and it will
lead to the development of an exclusive, strictly limited edition vehicle.
It's based on Triton's Low Profile (LP) three-person
platform, which benefits from the carmaker's design language, materials, and
craftsmanship, and it aims to "enhance the superyacht ownership
experience" by introducing "the new generation of yacht owners to the
deep ocean".
Aston Martin Consulting's Managing Director, Bradley
Yorke-Biggs, has also expressed his enthusiasm in regards to their new
collaboration: "Project Neptune is a flagship project for Aston Martin
Consulting. It is a clear and engaging demonstration of how Aston Martin's
expertise in sports car design and craftsmanship can be extended into new
aspects of the luxury world."
Committed to producing "the safest and best
performing deep-diving submersibles in the world", Triton is already
making such vehicles for researchers, explorers, and superyacht owners. The
company was founded in Florida, by L. Bruce Jones and Patrick Lahey, and it's
said to be "the most experienced civil submarine and submersible
manufacturer in the world".
