Yes, it’s a supercar, but it’s also sold very much as a track and road car, one that accommodates a passenger, all of which means road trips and weekend-away stays are very much possible. Well, they would be if there were anywhere at all to store luggage. Lamborghini managed to find some luggage space in its Revuelto design, so there’s no excuse here, really.

The design department otherwise has had a field day. Top-mounted exhausts, dihedral doors, and even an F1-style roof snorkel to accompany that air-braking rear wing deliver an exterior that is nothing short of arresting. Somehow, none of this looks garish or out of place on the Valhalla in person. Everything has a purpose, and nothing seems to scream as flexing or showing off. There’s a cohesion to the Valhalla aesthetic that others might not manage.

Inside, it is much more comfortable than you would imagine. The one-piece carbon-fiber seats look like they are going to be tricky, but on my two-hour road drive, they were supportive and, yes, comfortable. Visibility is surprisingly good, but a camera system is required for the rear view mirror because there’s no rear window. The rest of the interior is minimal, but the steering wheel is excellent (which, as Jony Ive will tell you, is no mean feat) and neatly signals some motorsport cool.

The one gripe for the interior is the dash and center screens, which are clear and responsive, and offer up the usual smartphone mirroring options, but they aren’t luxurious. We’re seeing a lot more effort these days with screen design from Ferrari’s new Luce as well as BMW in the iX3 and i3, but here, Aston has decidedly functional, off-the-shelf-looking displays. If I were parting with a million dollars, I might want more consideration here.

On the road and track is where the Valhalla excels. Impressive doesn’t come close, and, despite the delays, the patience shown by Aston has clearly paid dividends. The ride is superb, as well as being ridiculously quick. The chassis is exceptionally agile, making the car feel alert and light. There are enormous reserves of grip to match the formidable braking and acceleration, and as a result, this is a car that flatters you; it effortlessly seduces you into driving much harder and better than you think you can, all while giving you levels of confidence you wouldn’t think possible.

I’ve driven the Lamborghini Revuelto, and yes, it’s exciting, but also there’s a part of you that is wary—the part that knows that if you don’t keep your wits about you 100 percent of the time, things will go bad very quickly. The Valhalla offers up all of that fun and excitement, but almost none of the trepidation. It is gratifying and intuitive to drive. Anyone can fully enjoy this car, not merely those used to track days. Some will say the engine note is not as full-throated as might be expected in such a car, but others will be having so much fun they won’t care. Nor should they.

You may have noticed a drop of AI in your weather app lately. As companies race to infuse artificial intelligence into every product, the wave has come for the humble weather app.

The Weather Company, operator of the Weather Channel, today released a revamped version of its Storm Radar app, featuring an AI-powered Weather Assistant that lets users customize how they view forecasts and weather maps, toggling between layers like radar, temperature, and weather conditions like wind and lightning.

It can also sync with other apps, like your calendar, to send text notifications and weather summaries that tie info about the upcoming weather into your daily plans. You can stick a voice on it to talk like an old-timey radio weatherman, if you’re into that. Like most weather apps, it gets the data comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service (NWS).

The app costs $4 per month. It is available on iOS only for now, but the company says an Android version is coming eventually.

“We wanted to build an experience that would be a weather level-up for anybody, really, from a casual observer to a seasoned storm chaser,” says Joe Koval, a senior meteorologist at the Weather Company. “If you’re looking for advice on when the weather will be good to walk your dog tomorrow, you no longer have to look at a bunch of different disparate weather data elements and try to figure out the answer to that question yourself.”

You can find the weather on your phone already, of course. Android and iOS devices typically place the weather prominently beside the time. Google and Apple have both fused their weather apps into their smartphones directly. AI features have since been infused, offering insights and summaries about the day to come.

But there are third-party weather apps galore, like Storm Radar, Carrot Weather, Rain Viewer, and Acme Weather—an app from the former Dark Sky app creators. New weather apps like Rainbow Weather aim to be AI-first. Weather services are also being integrated directly into AI chatbots, like Accuweather, which recently launched an app directly in OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

“Everyone has their idea of what they want in a weather app, what data they’re interested in, how they’re interested in it being presented,” says Adam Grossman, a founder of the DarkSky app. “How do you build a single weather app that works for everybody?”

DarkSky, one of the most popular iOS weather apps, was bought by Apple in 2020 and merged into its Apple Weather service. Grossman eventually left Apple to start Acme Weather, with the goal of making a weather prediction service that better telegraphs the uncertainty of forecasting.

“No matter how good your forecast is, you’re going to be wrong,” Grossman says. “That’s something that weather apps traditionally haven’t done a great job of doing. Our approach is trying to figure out how to add those pieces of context back in.”

Repositories of weather information usually come from government sources, like NOAA or other global weather services that collect data from weather satellites, radar, weather balloons, and on-the-ground instruments. All that data is fed into weather prediction models that simulate the physics of the atmosphere. Those predictions are often generated by resource-intensive supercomputers, but machine learning models have trimmed that processing down, making predictions quicker. (Though sometimes less accurate, which can be accounted for by comparing multiple models.)

Weather apps like Storm Radar and Acme Weather translate that bounty of information by corroborating and compiling the models, then helping to create high-resolution maps and a visual representation of the data, an area where AI can also be particularly useful.

With rival airlines busily upping the ante in their connectivity options, Delta Air Lines has entered into a collaboration with Amazon to bring high-speed, low-latency internet from Amazon Leo, Amazon’s low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite service, to Delta aircraft.

The two companies claim that the partnership will mean they are “driving the future of travel and technology”, and this will see them unlock the next generation of tech-enabled travel experiences.

One of the world’s largest airlines, Delta began life just over 100 years ago as the first commercial agricultural flying company providing crop dusting services. The 18 Huff Daland Dusters planes became one of the largest privately owned fleets in the US, and subsequently, the company operated the first international mail and passenger route on the west coast of South America for Pan Am subsidiary Peruvian Airways.

Fast forward, and Delta’s current fleet of aircraft is undergoing significant renewal and expansion to match its international and premium growth strategy in the next decade and beyond. It recently exercised options for 34 additional Airbus A321neo aircraft, reinforcing the plane’s role as a pillar of Delta’s next-generation narrowbody fleet.

This was the third recent aircraft order announced by Delta. In February 2026, it announced two separate orders totalling more than 60 widebody aircraft for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, as well as the Airbus A330-900 and A350-900. 

The new connectivity agreement expands on the companies’ existing collaboration and will also build on the airline’s use of Amazon Web Services (AWS) across its operation, aiming to deliver new connected experiences to benefit Delta customers and employees alike. Indeed, Delta and Amazon plan to partner to integrate AWS, Amazon Leo, other Amazon technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the customer experience across the entire travel journey. 

Delta will introduce Amazon Leo internet access on hundreds of Delta aircraft, starting with an initial installation on 500 aircraft beginning in 2028, and work with Amazon to expand its popular Delta Sync Wi‑Fi and seatback experiences, offering customers more personalised connections onboard.

Amazon describes the Leo service as offering a new era of internet with its most advanced options, delivering the fastest satellite connectivity speeds of up to 1Gbps in download and 400Mbps upload.

Delta said it will use Amazon Leo’s “cutting-edge” satellite technology to bring more fast digital experiences on board Delta’s domestic and international flights, like streaming films and TV shows. It also cited potential use cases using the upload capacity, including photos and videos in real time, to securely send presentations or business files while in the air.

Commenting on the deployment, Delta CEO Ed Bastian said: “Delta’s future is global. This agreement gives us the fastest and most cost-effective technology available to better connect the world today, and it deepens our work with a global leader that shares our ambition to build what’s next – creating even stronger human connection for our people and our customers for years to come.”

Andy Jassy, president and CEO of Amazon, said: “We’ve designed Leo to provide high-speed internet to the billions of people on Earth without reliable connectivity, and this agreement with Delta is a great example of the impact and scale of the technology – bringing even faster in-flight Wi-Fi to tens of millions of passengers who fly Delta every year.

“People increasingly want to stay connected wherever they are in the world, and Leo’s speed and reliability is going to have a big impact for businesses, governments and consumers. It’s going to make the in-flight experience so much better, and it’s going to change what’s possible while travelling.”
