An incredibly special car with an equally remarkable name. One that immediately evokes connotations of power and honor, of being chosen by the Gods. Only 150 road cars will be made. Valkyrie is Aston Martin’s first ever hypercar and it leaves nothing in reserve. A striking aerodynamic exterior and an open underfloor maximizes downforce and harnesses the atmosphere around Valkyrie. The all-carbon fiber bodywork carries our trademark upper grille outline, before forming into a radical body utterly honed for performance. 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie comes as close as possible to a Formula One™ car without being restricted to the track. Its technology comes directly from our involvement with Red Bull Racing Advanced Technologies and has all the hallmarks of crafted luxury. Its main competitor is the Mercedes-AMG One.
The Aston Martin Valkyrie (also known by its code-names as AM-RB 001 and Nebula) is a limited production hybrid sports car collaboratively built by British automobile manufacturers Aston Martin, Red Bull Racing Advanced Technologies and several others. The sports car is a product of collaboration between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing to develop a track-oriented car entirely usable and enjoyable as a road car, conceived by Adrian Newey, Dr Andy Palmer, Christian Horner and Simon Spoule. The car’s makers claim the title of fastest street-legal car in the world for it. Adrian Newey, Red Bull Racing’s Chief Technical Officer and the world’s most successful F1 designer aided in the design of the car. Before the start of the 2019 Formula One British Grand Prix, the car made a lap of the Silverstone circuit for the first time.
The interior has no gauge cluster, but rather a collection of screens. By the left and right corners are the screens for the camera side mirrors. One screen sits at the top of the center console, which may have a collection of live vehicle information, and regular vehicle controls, but this is not confirmed. A screen is used on the race-inspired steering wheel and acts as the driver gauge cluster. Dials and switches sit beside the wheel screen to allow for easier changes without driving interruption. The seats, formed from hollow carbon fibre straight into interior perimeter, are bucket variants, and have two seat belts for each car seat. Because of the extremely small interior and doors (which are practically roof-only hatches), each seat is designed specifically for the owner’s body shape through 3D scanning. A removable steering wheel provides slightly more space for entry and exit.
A show car was initially unveiled to the public in order to give the public an idea of its design. The design was nearly finished at the time in a near-production-ready form. The exterior of the car is extremely aerodynamic for a sports car, with an extensively open underfloor, that works on the principle of the Venturi effect, that can fit an entire person, and is capable of producing 1,814 kg (4,000 lb) of downforce at high speed. Gaps on top of the car (for example, the above the front axle and the roof intake) and a large front splitter aid in generating downforce. The wheels are also designed to manage the airflow and be as light as possible at the same time. The exhausts exit at the top of the car, near the engine, similar to those of Formula One cars and the Porsche 918 Spyder.
