Only 150 examples will be available around the globe—all of which have been spoken for. That means most people will have to drool over this astonishing Aston via wall posters or virtual games.
It has an incredible hybrid powertrain that powers the rear wheels through a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 engine that collaborates with an electric motor. Together, they develop a combined 664 lb-ft of torque and 1160 horsepower at an amazing 10,500 rpm. While Aston says the hybrid system plays a supplementary role, it uses a state-of-the-art kinetic-engine-recovery system (KERS) that supplies a power boost. It’s no coincidence that this technology is also used on F1 cars. Few know how well the Valkyrie rides and handles, so we won’t attempt to guess. However, we know it features active aerodynamics that adjust in real time to add downforce and improve cornering abilities.
The racy interior minimizes luxury and maximizes visibility, with a wide windshield and two seats that are literally custom-fitted to the owners’ bodies and bolted to the frame. The multiple screens that protrude from the dashboard include two units with exterior camera feeds that replace traditional mirrors. All of the obligatory switchgear is located in the rectangular steering wheel that incorporates another digital screen where the most vital information is displayed.
