aston martin valkyrie

The 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie will be shown off publicly for the first time tomorrow at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb event in Britain. The low-slung V12 hypercar will be driven up the 1.9km course by current Aston Martin Formula One driver Lance Stroll, who is also the son of Aston Martin executive chairman and major shareholder Lawrence Stroll.

Aston Martin has put plans to compete in the burgeoning Le Mans Hypercar class on hold, amid rule changes and its recent commitment to Formula 1 for the 2021 season. The British brand had previously committed to running a racing version of its upcoming Valkyrie hypercar in the new Le Mans Hypercar class. However it says rule changes from the body that runs Le Mans have forced it to put those plans on hold.

Aston Martin has confirmed power outputs for its hotly-anticipated Valkyrie hypercar, which will blend a naturally-aspirated V12 and KERS-style electric boost to develop 845kW. Aston Martin announced last year the Valkyrie will have a naturally-aspirated 6.5-litre V12 from Cosworth at its core. The internal-combustion engine has a 11,100rpm redline, and develops 747kW of power at 10,500rpm and 740Nm of torque at 7000rpm.

Regular Aston Martin Valkyrie look too timid for you? Chasing a proper racing experience, but not keen on an actual race car? Meet the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro, ready to crush tuned MX-5s and BRZs at your next track day. Okay, so it isn't really aimed at the amateur track set. Breathe easy, your Miata is safe. The AMR Pro designed to translate LMP1 or F1 performance to a language mere mortals can understand, provided they have the money to buy in. On looks alone, it seems capable.

The upcoming Aston Martin Valkyrie, formerly known as the AM-RB 001, will produce 1130 horsepower (840kW) when it arrives in 2019, according to a new report out of the US. Road and Track cites "sources deeply familiar with the car", claiming the Valkyrie will have a total output of around 840kW from its Formula One-inspired hybrid drivetrain, with nearly 1000hp (745kW) alone coming from the 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 co-developed with British tuning firm Cosworth.
