The Valkyrie project was first announced in 2016 as a collaboration between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing. The goal was to create a road-legal car with performance levels close to a Formula 1 car. Deliveries started in 2021 after years of development and testing.
The Valkyrie uses a mid-mounted 6.5 L naturally aspirated V12 engine developed by Cosworth, combined with a hybrid system by Rimac and Integral Powertrain. The total output reaches about 1,160 hp at 10,500 rpm, with the V12 alone producing around 1,000 hp.
The car's body is made almost entirely of carbon fibre, keeping the weight under 1,030 kg. Aerodynamics were designed with input from Formula 1 engineers, creating extreme levels of downforce that allow the car to corner at track-car speeds while still being road legal.
