Here's A Peak At The 1,064 HP Aston Martin Valhalla
Aston Martin Valhalla
The Aston Martin Valhalla has been dubbed the "ultimate driver's supercar'. It uses a flat-plane crank 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 and three electric motors to emit 1,064 bhp. The British car maker ceased production of the ultra-sleek Valkyrie hypercar to make space for the Valhalla.
Only 999 units will be built and production begins in the second quarter of this year. Testing is underway in the United Kingdom and on the IDIADA Spanish proving ground.
This will be the brand's first plug-in hybrid model and will feature a dry-dump design and a new eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The gearbox contains one electric motor while the other two are attached to the front axle, meaning the Valhalla will sprint from 0-to-62mph in 2.5 seconds and barrel onto 217 mph. The car will also develop more than 600kg of downforce at 150mph while in race mode. Although fuel consumption figures haven't been stated, the Valhalla will use a 400v system and a high-voltage battery.

The Valhalla will also feature an active front and rear wing, a bespoke carbon fiber tub, and carbon fiber body panels. Inside features Apple CarPlay, and two 10.25-inch displays, one for driver gauges and another for infotainment.
Simon Newton, Director of Vehicle Performance and Attributes said, 'For the engineering and dynamics teams, the unprecedented dynamic bandwidth that distinguishes Valhalla from its rivals has presented many new opportunities during development. 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.'
Although the Valkyrie is no longer produced, it's still smashing records. The British hyper can beat the Koenigsegg Jesko around the Top Gear Test Track by 1.3 seconds and the Ferrari SF90 by 1.7 seconds, making it the fastest road-legal car to ever lap the track.
In 2024, the 1,140 bhp Valkyrie also beat the Silverstone lap record with a time of 1 minutes 56.42 seconds. More than 10 seconds faster than any other road-legal production car.
