Aston Martin Valkyrie: hybrid hypercar and what you need to know
Aston Martin Valkyrie — a limited-run hypercar, developed with Red Bull Advanced Technologies and available to buyers from 2021. In this article, we review the model's technology, versions, and key points for potential buyers.
Valkyrie in brief
Valkyrie — a two-seater hypercar with aerodynamics and lightweight construction borrowed from the world of racing. The car was created by Aston Martin in collaboration with Red Bull Advanced Technologies, with its design and aerodynamics based on the work of Adrian Newey.
This is an especially rare model: produced in limited quantities, primarily for collectors and enthusiasts, rather than everyday use.
Versions
The base version is the Valkyrie coupé, designed for road use. Later came the open-top Valkyrie Spider, and the track-focused limited edition — Valkyrie AMR Pro.
Due to the limited run, each example often has unique specifications, so it's worth evaluating each one individually.
Engine and transmission
The Valkyrie is powered by a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine, developed with Cosworth and supplemented by an electric motor. The combined system output is around 1160 hp.
The transmission is a 7-speed robotised manual. The car is rear-wheel drive, and the high power and aerodynamics demand considerable driving experience.
What to know before buying a Valkyrie
Due to its extremely low production run, purchasing usually takes place through specialist dealers, auctions, or directly from the previous owner. It's crucial to check the car's provenance, documents, and whether it has always been serviced by the manufacturer's network.
Pay attention to the mileage, which is typically very low, and how the car has been maintained, as some of its components require specialist care.
Before signing any contract, engage the manufacturer's representatives or an independent specialist, as the availability of standard spare parts and certified services is very limited.
