Last year, the company teamed with Triton Submarines on a submersible with sports car levels of performance and styling. At the time, details and specifications were limited, but now that the design phase has given way to the production phase, Aston and Triton have a few numbers to share.

Aston Martin and Triton announced today that they've officially finalized the design of Project Neptune sub and commenced production of the first of a very select number of models. The two companies have been working hard to create just the right balance of hydrodynamics, style and interior luxury to properly reflect the values of each badge. In short, they've given a solid, reliable Triton submersible a big dose of Aston Martin performance and prettiness.

"The exterior design of Project Neptune owes a lot to the pursuit of performance," says Aston Martin EVP and chief creative officer Marek Reichman. "As with the Aston Martin Valkyrie, 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."
