Aston Martin’s upcoming Valhalla is undergoing final testing and sign-off before hitting the streets later this year. The new supercar is being put through its last validation sign-off, both on the road and on a race track near Barcelona.
The Valhalla will be Aston Martin’s first ever mid-engined supercar as well as its first car with a hybrid system. This also makes it the first Aston Martin with electric capabilities. Powering it will be a bespoke 4.0-litre twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8 engine, which the company says is its “highest performing V8” that it has “ever fitted” to any of its cars. It will also be the first to use an all-new 8-speed twin-clutch transmission, incorporating an e-Motor and electronic rear differential, and an all-new front axle twin motor system, allowing for torque vectoring and four-wheel drive.
“For the engineering and dynamics teams, the unprecedented dynamic bandwidth that distinguishes Valhalla from its rivals has presented many new opportunities during development,” Simon Newton, Director of Vehicle Performance and Attributes said. “With a combination of 1079PS and 1100Nm via the hybrid powertrain, extreme performance is a given. To harness and refine the power to deliver an exceptional supercar experience on both road and track has meant tireless work has gone into the integration of active aerodynamics and integrated control systems.”
The Valhalla promises to fuse “the performance-driven methodologies and technologies of Aston Martin Performance Technologies and Formula 1” and hopes to deliver some of the best driving dynamics possible.
Only 999 units of the Valhalla will be produced, with the first drivers expecting to receive their cars later in 2025.
