The 2024 Aston Martin Valhalla has been in development for a while years however it appears we’re getting closer to a date for its release. The car was first revealed as a code-named car prototype during the Geneva Motor Show, the car has been through a series of significant changes on the way into production. These include modifications to its powertrain as well as its overall appearance, and even Aston Martin’s company’s leadership. But finally, the mid-engined supercar is ready to go into production in 2023.
The car is a follow-up to the Valkyrie along with the Valkyrie and Valkyrie AMR Pro in Aston Martin’s 3rd mid-engined Supercar. It is now seen as the “son of the Valkyrie” meant to be more suitable for daily usage than its track-oriented predecessor. Similar to the Valkyrie the car was originally designed by Aston Martin, the famous British maker, Aston Martin, and the Red Bull F1 team, however in the later stages, when Aston Martin gained its own F1 team and split with Red Bull, the manufacturer is not eager to announce this rather focusing at their individual “F1 learnings.”
What exactly is Valhalla? What are we expecting from the latest Aston Martin project and what are we aware of it? We’ve gathered all the information we know about the project to share with you.
What Do We Know About Its Exterior And Interior?
Because of its long time of development, as well as plenty of media attention, the gearheads are likely to have a good understanding of the style of the Aston Martin Valhalla shortly. It’s a sleek and stretched racer that is adorned by Aston Martin motifs, such as the famous grille design and the angular headlights however, don’t be fooled by the fact that this is a high-performance weapon. Its Valhalla will be a stunning supercar in its appearance made of carbon fiber, and sporting quirky features like dihedral doors. Cool, right?
Aston Martin is famed for making many of the most stunning automobiles ever made of metal, and we’re certainly not at all surprised by the stunning design that is the Valhalla. It looked like a home-grown car when it was used in the latest James Bond movie No Time To Die.
Engine & Specs
Similar to its exterior style as well, the Valhalla has undergone dramatic modifications to its power source throughout the process of making. At first, it appeared it would be powered by a hybrid engine that was developed internally by Aston Martin, but now it appears to sport a magnificent Mercedes AMG Twin turbo V8 on the wheel, along with the option of plug-in hybrid aid.
The EV part of the vehicles will be a little limited, however, there will be an EV-only option for short-range travel. In other words, it’s there to boost the performance of the V8 and it appears to perform its task well. The car will include 937 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque and a 0-60 mph time of approximately 2.5 seconds. These are the true performance of a supercar.
The Valhalla will not be a simple tool, but. It’s a technologically advanced car, inspired by F1 that was developed by a team of Aston Martin and the Red Bull F1 team. This means it will include features like an electric-powered gearbox, electronic reverse, and electronically-controlled limit-slip rear differential, as well as adaptive dampers which can be set to an ultra-low track setting. Thankfully it’s not just about speed. The Valhalla will also include carbon-ceramic brakes on the standard model, which is a must-feature on this powerful machine.
What’s The Price Tag?
Again, there were some minor changes to the original plans for the Valhalla’s price and availability. At first, Aston Martin looked to limit production to 500 units with a price of a staggering U.S. $1,000,000, but Aston Martin appears to have loosened its grip after it initially set those numbers. The Valhalla will be restricted to 999 units with prices starting at $800,000.
