Valkyrie
The Aston Martin Valkyrie features naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 developed with Cosworth producing 1,001 horsepower at 10,500 rpm with 575 pound-feet torque reaching 11,100 rpm maximum engine speed at 206kg engine weight combined with Rimac-developed hybrid system contributing 160 horsepower for 1,160 horsepower combined peak output (1,139 certified at 10,600 rpm) with 682 pound-feet torque at 7,000 rpm through seven-speed paddle-shift transmission and rear-wheel-drive at 2,800 pounds dry weight achieving 2.3-second 0-60 mph acceleration and 220 mph top speed. Aerodynamic specification generates 2,425 pounds downforce from 137-220 mph through ground-effect venturi tunnels and active aerodynamic elements establishing F1-derived performance capability in road-legal hypercar configuration rated for 62,000 miles durability demonstrating engineering excellence combining motorsport technology with street usability.
Valkyrie launched 2018 represents collaboration between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing Advanced Technologies translating Formula 1 aerodynamic knowledge and hybrid powertrain expertise into ultimate road-going hypercar, designed by Adrian Newey establishing new paradigm for performance vehicle development where motorsport engineering directly influences production specification. Limited production includes 150 coupés, 85 Spiders, and 40 track-only AMR Pro variants (generating up to 1,300 horsepower) for 275 total units at approximately $3 million pricing establishing Valkyrie among most exclusive and capable hypercars ever produced, popular among collectors seeking closest experience to F1 performance in street-legal package where naturally-aspirated V12 reaching 11,100 rpm provides unmatched engine character combined with cutting-edge hybrid technology and sophisticated aerodynamics creating hypercar representing pinnacle of contemporary automotive engineering achievement.
