aston martin valkyrie

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.

The company has provided another sneak peak at the upcoming Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar via its Instagram feed. When the company first showed off a "near-production" version of the Valkyrie in July 2017, Miles Nurnberger, the company's head of exterior design, explained the body was "95 per cent of the way there".

UPDATE: Turns out the vehicles sold are allocated to Australia and New Zealand as a combined market, with the current sales allocated to New Zealand. Although, the brand says there is a great deal of interest in the Valkyrie for the Australian market. Australia is home to a number of hypercars, but most of them can't be driven on the road. The Aston Martin Valkyrie will be an exception to the rule.

Aston Martin and Red Bull's upcoming hypercar, the AM-RB 001, has been given a new name this week: Valkyrie. Named after the legendary figures of Norse mythology - those who choose who lives and who dies in battle - the Valkyrie also continues the 'V' naming tradition that Aston Martin has used since 1951.
