Meet the new Aston Martin Valhalla, which is now in production form. The previous V6 twin-turbo engine has been replaced by a larger 4.0-liter V8 unit from AMG, assisted by two electric motors for a total system output of 950 hp.
The hybrid system allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 350 km/h. With the help of active aerodynamics Valhalla can generate 600 kg of downforce. The company has a target time of 6:30 minutes at the Nürburgring, so a big sprint is expected on the German track in the near future.
This will be the first mid-engined supercar from Aston Martin, which uses Formula 1 technology applied to the chassis and aerodynamics.
The Valhalla features 20-inch wheels at the front and 21 at the rear, and carbon-ceramic brakes with brake-by-wire technology provide the necessary braking force. Three main intake vents cool the V8 engine – the roof scoop and those on the side intake vents.
There is no information yet on the price of the hybrid supercar, but it is expected to be close to $1 million.
