The Valhalla becomes Aston Martin’s first series-production mid-engine supercar, as well as its first plug-in hybrid model.

This great step towards the electric future of the British brand is achieved thanks to a propulsion system that combines a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with three electric motorsgenerating a total power of 1,079 horsepower and 1,100 Nm of torque.

With acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and a top speed electronically limited to 350 km/h, the Valhalla is positioned as one of the fastest and most powerful supercars in its segment.

But the impressive power figure is not the only thing that stands out in this car, since its aerodynamic design also plays a fundamental role.

Valhalla’s bespoke carbon fiber bodywork, along with its fully active aerodynamic system, allow it to generate more than 600 kg of downforce at 240 km/h. This helps keep the car stable and glued to the asphalt even at extreme speeds.

Additionally, the use of carbon fiber in the vehicle structure contributes to achieving a curb weight of only 1,655kgwhich translates into an exceptional power-to-weight ratio.

Valhalla also inherits technologies directly from Formula 1such as its pushrod front suspension and oversized carbon ceramic brake system.

These elements, along with its 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and electronic rear differential, give the driver an unprecedented level of control and response.

The Valhalla’s interior has also been designed with a focus on the driver experience. The one-piece carbon fiber seats, low driving position and raised footwells create a feeling of being immersed in a real racing car.

The infotainment system, with its driver-focused touchscreen and Formula 1-style linear tachometer, completes this experience.

With an estimated price higher than million dollars and a production limited to only 999 unitsthe Aston Martin Valhalla represents the pinnacle of the British brand’s technological development.

This plug-in hybrid supercar is the result of the experience and knowledge acquired by Aston Martin in Formula 1, and promises to take high-performance enthusiasts to a new level of excitement and adrenaline.

“With the Valhalla, we have been able to bring all the technology, aerodynamics and performance that we have developed in Formula 1 to a production car”says the director of Aston Martin. Without a doubt, the Valhalla is a milestone in the history of the brand and a clear challenge to the most exclusive supercars on the market.
