Aston Martin has finally unveiled the Valhalla after five years of testing and three years of production preview. This new model features a mid-engine layout and is expected to begin production in the second quarter of 2025. Aston Martin promises that the Valhalla will compete with models like the Lamborghini Revuelto and Ferrari SF90 Stradale.
The Valhalla features a rear electronic limited-slip differential, and the electric assist system effectively reduces turbo lag while recovering energy during braking. Although its top speed is limited to 140 km/h, the Valhalla can still travel up to 14 km in pure electric mode.
Like the Valkyrie, the Valhalla excels in aerodynamics. At 240 km/h, the car can generate over 600 kg of downforce, and as speeds increase, active aerodynamic components on the front and rear wings enhance downforce further. While lap time on the track has yet to be disclosed, its speed is expected to impress.
The Valhalla's main components, including suspension, brakes, steering, active aerodynamics, and transmission, have been optimized through an Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC) system. This system ensures effective communication between the front and rear axles, enhancing handling performance.
Like other top supercars, the Valhalla is built around a carbon fiber monocoque structure, leveraging Aston Martin's experience in Formula 1. The interior design is inspired by racing cars, providing a unique driving experience. Similar to the Valkyrie, the footwell has been raised to ensure a low seating position, and it comes standard with a one-piece carbon fiber seat. The flat-bottomed carbon fiber steering wheel, large digital instrument cluster, and infotainment display are all eye-catching, and the Aston Martin team has created unique graphics for these screens.
As with other Aston Martin models, the Valhalla will offer 'limitless customization possibilities' through the Q by Aston Martin department. While the price of the Valhalla hasn't been revealed, it is known that only 999 units will be produced worldwide.
The Valkyrie, on the other hand, is Aston Martin's first hybrid car, featuring a new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and a twin-turbocharged V8 engine. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, reaching a top speed of 370 km/h. The main engine is a 4-liter twin-turbocharged unit producing 817 horsepower, and it features three electric motors, with two on the front axle, providing a total output of 1064 horsepower and 1100 Nm of torque.
