Aston Martin Valhalla: The Ultimate Driver’s Supercar
Aston Martin has officially unveiled the Valhalla, a mid-engine hybrid supercar blending Formula 1® technology with cutting-edge design, redefining what it means to be a performance supercar. With a 1,079PS plug-in hybrid powertrain and active aerodynamics, Valhalla promises an unparalleled driving experience for both the road and track. Here’s everything you need to know about this groundbreaking machine, designed to push boundaries while honoring Aston Martin’s rich heritage.
Performance-Driven Hybrid Powertrain
The Valhalla is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing 828PS, paired with three electric motors contributing an additional 251PS. The total system output reaches an astounding 1,079PS with 1,100Nm of torque, ensuring jaw-dropping acceleration. The sprint from 0-100 km/h takes just 2.5 seconds, while the top speed is an electronically limited 350 km/h (217 mph).
This cutting-edge V8, featuring a flat-plane crankshaft and a dry-sump lubrication system, offers exceptional responsiveness and a visceral sound. Two electric motors on the front axle enable torque vectoring, regenerative braking, and EV-only driving for up to 14 km at speeds of up to 140 km/h. The third motor is integrated into the all-new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering seamless shifts and torque fill for lightning-fast acceleration.
Aerodynamic Perfection
Valhalla leverages Aston Martin’s Formula 1® expertise to deliver 600 kg of downforce at 240 km/h, thanks to its active aerodynamics. An innovative T-Wing at the rear and concealed active front wings adjust dynamically for optimal grip, drag reduction, and stability. In Race Mode, the rear wing rises 255mm for maximum downforce, while under braking, it functions as an air brake, improving stopping performance and stability.
Chassis and Suspension: Formula 1® Inspired
At the core of Valhalla lies a carbon-fiber monocoque, ensuring maximum stiffness with minimal weight. The car boasts a dry weight of 1,655 kg, offering an impressive 652PS per 1,000 kg power-to-weight ratio.
The front features push-rod suspension with inboard springs and dampers, improving aerodynamics and packaging efficiency. At the rear, a multi-link setup paired with Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers ensures unparalleled handling across its four selectable drive modes: EV, Sport, Sport+, and Race.
Braking Power
Valhalla employs a state-of-the-art carbon-ceramic brake system with 410mm discs at the front and 390mm discs at the rear. Coupled with regenerative braking and an Integrated Power Brake (IPB) system, the braking performance is optimized for both road and track use. The air brake function, combined with active aerodynamics, ensures extraordinary stopping power under extreme driving conditions.
Driver-Focused Technology
Inside the Valhalla, Aston Martin delivers a cockpit inspired by Formula 1®. A low hip-to-heel seating position enhances the driver’s connection to the car, while lightweight carbon-fiber seats provide unmatched support. The driver-centric HMI system includes a column-mounted display featuring race-inspired graphics, shift lights, and dynamic driving data.
The central touchscreen introduces an innovative Powerflow visualizer, showcasing real-time energy deployment and regeneration within the hybrid system. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Autonomous Emergency Braking, combine cutting-edge technology with supercar performance.
Design: Form Meets Function
Aston Martin’s “form follows function” ethos is evident in Valhalla’s exterior. The carbon-fiber body is meticulously sculpted to balance aerodynamics and aesthetics. Dramatic dihedral doors not only add supercar flair but also improve ingress and egress, thanks to lowered sills and roof cutouts. An F1®-inspired roof snorkel channels air directly into the engine, while venturi tunnels and innovative door turning vanes ensure optimal airflow for cooling.
Customers can personalize Valhalla through Aston Martin’s Q by Aston Martin service, with options for exposed carbon fiber, bespoke paint finishes, and lightweight magnesium wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.
The Ultimate Expression of Aston Martin
Valhalla’s debut marks a new era for Aston Martin, combining the brand’s storied design language with cutting-edge hybrid technology. With a production limit of 999 units, this mid-engine supercar is as exclusive as it is innovative. Developed in collaboration with Aston Martin Performance Technologies and drawing on the expertise of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1® team, Valhalla is more than just a car—it’s the ultimate driver’s machine.
Production is slated to begin in Q2 2025, with deliveries expected in the second half of 2025. For those lucky enough to secure one, Valhalla represents the pinnacle of Aston Martin’s pursuit of performance, elegance, and technological innovation.
Valhalla is not just a supercar—it’s Aston Martin’s bold declaration of its future. A perfect fusion of road-going luxury and track-ready performance, it embodies what a next-generation supercar should be: fearless, futuristic, and utterly thrilling.
