Aston Martin
Valkyrie (coupé)

Why it matters

The Valkyrie is a road-legal hypercar developed by Aston Martin with Red Bull Racing Advanced Technologies, built around a carbon-fibre structure and a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre Cosworth V12 that revs to 11,100 rpm. Aston Martin says it comes as close as possible to a Formula One car without being restricted to the track, and the road coupe was limited to 150 examples.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

The project carried the internal codename "Nebula", whose letters stood for the parties involved, with Adrian Newey and Red Bull Racing working alongside Aston Martin. The auction catalogue describes a gestation of about seven years. The V12 was developed by Cosworth, which started by building a straight-three test engine and then combined four such units into the 65-degree twelve. A hybrid system with a battery pack supplied by Rimac and a seven-speed sequential transmission by Ricardo completes the powertrain.

Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

A genuine road Valkyrie has no steel in its structure, only carbon fibre with aluminium inserts. Details listed by the factory are the smallest high-mounted stop light fitted to a car, indicators routed through periscope-style optics, a single carbon wiper blade and a 40-micron aluminium wings badge laid into the paint. Wheels are 20-inch at the front and 21-inch at the rear (Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 265/35 ZR20 and 325/30 ZR21), with ventilated CCM-R carbon-ceramic brakes of 420 mm and 385 mm and six-piston calipers.
