The Aston Martin Valkyrie is a high-performance hybrid hypercar developed in collaboration with Red Bull Advanced Technologies. It is one of the most extreme road-legal cars ever made, designed to bring Formula 1-inspired aerodynamics and engineering to a production vehicle. Here are some key details about it:

Performance & Powertrain:

Engine: A naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine developed by Cosworth, producing 1,000 hp at 10,500 rpm.

Hybrid System: A Rimac-developed electric motor adds 160 hp, bringing the total power output to 1,160 hp and 900 Nm of torque.

0-60 mph: Around 2.5 seconds.

Top Speed: Over 220 mph (354 km/h).

Transmission: 7-speed automated manual gearbox by Ricardo.

Aerodynamics & Design:

The design is heavily influenced by F1, with extreme aerodynamics for maximum downforce.

The underfloor venturi tunnels create enormous ground effect, allowing the car to stick to the road at high speeds.

The lightweight carbon fiber body and monocoque help keep the weight extremely low, targeting around 1,030 kg (2,271 lbs).

Interior & Technology:

The cockpit is designed like a racing car, with a Formula 1-style reclined seating position.

There are no traditional side mirrors, replaced by cameras to improve aerodynamics.

The dashboard is minimalist, with screens for essential data and a steering wheel-mounted display.

The doors are dihedral (gullwing-like) for dramatic entry and exit.

Production & Special Variants:

Only 150 units of the road-going Valkyrie were planned.

Additional track-only versions, such as the Valkyrie AMR Pro, push performance even further, with an even lighter chassis and more aggressive aerodynamics.

Legacy & Competition:

The Valkyrie competes with other extreme hypercars like the Mercedes-AMG One, Ferrari SF90, and Koenigsegg Jesko.

It represents Aston Martin’s most ambitious engineering project and is considered one of the closest experiences to driving an F1 car on public roads.
