We finally get a peek at the upcoming Aston Martin Valhalla hybrid supercar
The mid-engine Aston Martin Valhalla hybrid supercar has been under development for quite some time, and now it’s ultimately scheduled to begin manufacturing in the middle of 2025. The Valhalla, like the flamboyant Aston Martin Valkyrie, is a road racer that takes its cues from Formula 1 and makes use of active aerodynamics and lightweight materials.
Featuring slick bodywork and an oversized version of the British marque’s iconic grille, the Aston Martin Valhalla hybrid supercar is equipped with a 4.0-liter V-8 twin-turbo engine positioned in the middle. Although it has a flat-plane crank, dry-sump lubrication, redesigned pistons, and a custom ignition system, it is comparable to the mill found in the DBX707.
The engine, coupled to an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, produces 817 horsepower as a result of these modifications. However, it also has three electric motors in its drivetrain. One of the motors is integrated into the transmission and serves as a starter generator, while the other two are mounted on the front axle, giving the vehicle all-wheel drive. A 6.0-kWh battery pack that can be charged while slowing down powers the trio. The car’s motors allow it to run in electric mode as well, which allows it to go 8.6 miles at up to 80 mph.
The combined output of the engine and all three of the motors is 1,064 horsepower and 811 ft lbs of torque. According to Aston Martin, the Valhalla can reach a max speed of 217 mph and accelerate from zero to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds!
The inside of the Aston Martin Valhalla hybrid supercar makes heavy use of carbon fiber, which reduces weight while adding a distinctive visual character to the cabin. A rectangular F1-style steering wheel with physical infotainment controls sits directly in front of the driver. A column-mounted digital display in front of the steering wheel provides a speedometer and navigational data when driving on the road, as well as a linear tachometer in race mode.
A central infotainment screen displays important vehicle information, including battery charge level and energy-deployment data, which is situated atop a carbon bracing that runs the length of the cabin. As of now, we expect the UI to offer software such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as built-in navi and a splendid audio system.
Since the Aston Martin Valhalla hybrid supercar is a 2026 model, production won’t begin until the second part of the following year. Only 999 of the brand’s electrified supercar will be produced, and it is expected to sell very quickly. Price estimates are to be between $800,000 and $1 million.
