Aston Martin is best known for its range of luxury sports cars, but the British manufacturer decided to turn its design skills to a very different form of transport: submersibles.

Through a collaboration with Triton Submarines, Aston Martin designed a state-of-the-art submarine capable of carrying three people. As the images here show, it looks like something straight out of a Bond movie.

The vessel is codenamed Project Neptune and exists in concept form right now. Aston Martin took Triton's Low Profile three-person platform and created a design that fits around it. The end result is a luxury submarine that is bound to cost enough to only be accessible to individuals already driving around in an Aston Martin sports car.

Both companies intend to continue working together to bring Project Neptune to market. However, it will be offered as, "an exclusive, strictly-limited edition vehicle." That's sure to take the price even higher, but for now we aren't being told what it will be.

There's very little detail regarding the capabilities of Project Neptune, but looking at the Triton submarine range I would hazard a guess it is based on the Triton 1650/3 LP. That submersible offer 12 hours endurance, AC and humidity environmental control, and can dive to a depth of 500 meters. Maybe Project Neptune improves on that with Aston Martin's design experience?
