- Valhalla d’Aston Martin delivers 1,065 hp from a hybrid V8 and three electric motors.
- It marks the brand’s first intermediate motor car car and the first rechargeable hybrid.
- Only 999 Valhalla units will be made, and most are already spoken for the whole world.
Aston Martin has entered the final test phase of validation of its new Valhalla Supercar with an intermediate engine, revealing that production will begin this quarter. Not only can we now see the Valhalla in the real world for the first time, but the company claims that it will be a legitimate rival for the Ferrari F80 and McLaren W1, despite a cost much less than both.
The new Aston Martin endured an incredibly long gestation period, first preview as a concept in early 2019. During this period, it underwent a complete overhaul, and hybrid supercars like the Lamborghini Revuelto and Ferrari SF90 struck the market. Now, the end tests are led by the triple winner of the Le Mans class, Darren Turner, on the road and on the field of Idiada in Spain.

The British company presented three different Valhalla pre-production models. One is painted in a shiny shade of green podium with lime green accents, while another has a green jade finish with gold elements. Final track tests focus on the configuration of management, active aerodynamics and braking performance.
A new era of first
The Valhalla brings a range of premieres for Aston Martin: its first engine supercar in standard production environment, the first rechargeable hybrid and first with a only usable EV range. He also launches a custom -made flat -plan flat -plan crank of 4.0 liters, the V8 on the most powerful road that the brand has built. Associated with a new 8 -speed dual -clutch transmission abstating an integrated electronic engine and an electronic rear differential, the configuration is supplemented by twin -front electric motors which allow torque vectorization and all -wheel drive.
According to the boss of the company Adrian Hallmark, the Valhalla is somewhere between “a regular supercar and a hypercar”, and it is really true with regard to power. With a 4.0-liter double turbocharger V8 and three electric motors, it issues 1,065 hp and 811 LB-Pi (1099 nm) of torque, more than the Revuerto and the SF90, but on the 1,258 hp of the W1 and the 1,184 hp of the F80.
Price to surprise
“The product portfolio (in Aston Martin) is the best we have had,” said Hallmark TOP.. “We have a pure sports car, a large grand-tourer, a V12 reference product, and probably the most technically advanced hypercar on the road in the form of Valkyrie. And soon the most affordable supercar with an average engine compared to an F80 or W1. I guess if we didn’t know they came at these prices seven years ago (Valhalla). – It should be good for residual values. »»

For the context, the 1,258 HP MCLaren W1 begins near the double of the price of the Valhalla, at 2.1 million dollars before taxes, while Hybrid F80 of Ferrari, at the end of 1,184 hp, reaches almost three times the cost, from $ 3.9 million. The two models are already sold.
The production will be capped at 999 units, and Aston says that around two thirds have already been allocated. The clock turns, but after all these years, the Valhalla finally seems that it could be worth waiting.
