1 / 10Aston Martin Unveils Valhalla: Aston Martin has officially introduced its plug-in hybrid hypercar, the Valhalla, marking a significant milestone for the brand. Originally announced in 2021, the model has undergone major revisions, including updates to its design, interior layout, and powertrain.
2 / 10Lightweight Carbon Body: The Valhalla’s body structure is predominantly crafted from carbon fibre to ensure a lightweight yet rigid build. The inclusion of dihedral doors adds to its visual appeal while enhancing functionality. Integrated aerodynamic vanes play a crucial role by directing airflow to reduce engine and transmission temperatures by up to 50%, according to Aston Martin.
3 / 10Aerodynamic Excellence: Aston Martin has equipped the Valhalla with advanced aerodynamic features, including an adjustable rear wing and a carbon fibre rear diffuser. Together, these elements generate over 600 kg of downforce when the car is travelling at speeds between 240 and 350 km/h, ensuring stability and performance at high speeds.
4 / 10Bespoke Wheel Design: The Valhalla is fitted with a custom wheel configuration, featuring 20-inch wheels at the front and larger 21-inch wheels at the rear. These wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tyres, which are specifically designed to provide grip and performance on both road and track.
5 / 10F1-Inspired Cockpit: The interior of the Valhalla draws heavy inspiration from Formula 1 cars, delivering a driver-focused experience. The two-seater cockpit features single-piece carbon fibre seats, designed for maximum support and weight savings. Additional features include a central touchscreen display that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control, and a fully digital instrument cluster.
6 / 10Hybrid Powertrain Setup: At the core of the Valhalla’s performance is a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, positioned mid-rear for optimal weight distribution. Complementing this engine are three electric motors—two located on the front axle and one integrated into the transmission.
7 / 10Staggering Performance Numbers: The combined output of the Valhalla’s hybrid powertrain is 1,079 bhp and 1,110 Nm of torque. These figures enable the hypercar to sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds. The Valhalla’s top speed is electronically limited to 350 km/h.
8 / 10Electric Drive Capabilities: In addition to its hybrid performance, the Valhalla offers an EV-only driving mode. It can travel up to 14 km solely on electric power and achieve a maximum speed of 140 km/h in this mode. Notably, when operating in EV mode, the car functions as a front-wheel-drive vehicle, utilising its front electric motors for propulsion.
9 / 10Advanced Engineering Features: The Valhalla features a bespoke 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, specifically developed for hybrid integration. Uniquely, the gearbox does not include a traditional reverse gear. Instead, the front electric motors manage reversing duties, reducing mechanical complexity. The electric motors also minimise turbo lag by providing immediate power when needed.
10 / 10Limited Production Run: Aston Martin has confirmed that production of the Valhalla will be limited to just 999 units worldwide. Deliveries are expected to begin in the latter half of 2025. The starting price for this exclusive hybrid hypercar is approximately £850,000.
