Engineering and performance

Aston Martin Valkyrie comes as close as possible to being a Formula One™ car without being restricted to the track.

AERODYNAMICS

Space-Age Engineering

The striking aerodynamic exterior and open underfloor maximise downforce and harness the atmosphere around Aston Martin Valkyrie. All-carbon fibre bodywork carries Aston Martin’s trademark upper grille outline before flowing into a radical body shape that is utterly honed for performance.

LIGHTWEIGHT

100% Carbon Fibre

There is not one single steel component in Aston Martin Valkyrie’s structure. It is 100% carbon fibre, minimising load while pushing the power:weight ratio to the max.

PERFORMANCE

Rebellious Technology

Aston Martin Valkyrie comes as close as possible to being a Formula One™ car without being restricted to the track. Its rebellious technology is the direct result of our partnership with Red Bull Racing Advanced Technology with all the Aston Martin hallmarks of cleverly crafted luxury.

HYDRAULICS

Apache Hydraulics, for the road

Tolerance of 3.5g. Speeds of 200mph. Downforce more typically associated with the lift and pitch of a fighter jet. If you’ve heard the rumour that part of an Aston Martin Valkyrie comes from an Apache gunship, the rumour is true. Nothing that already existed in the automotive world had the hydraulic power required to run all this. Or handle the pressure of bringing F1® track pedigree to the road. The downforce is so otherworldly that the tires would just burst. Piloted by the Active Control Unit, thousands of times a second, the active aero recalibrates the suspension, damping and form of the car.
G-FORCE

Limited more by pilot, than machine

The Aston Martin Valkyrie has a 6-point harness for a reason. The lateral g-force of this road-legal car is about 3.3g. The braking force is 1.9g. So every point of that harness is carefully placed to weld you in position and stop you sliding out of the seat. It might be important to put that into some kind of context. Lateral g-force is a measure of the acceleration when changing direction horizontally.

ENGINE

The highest revving, most powerful naturally aspirated engine

An extreme work of modernity. Built from nothing, with zero precedent, to scream all the way up to 11,100 rpm. The most powerful naturally aspirated engine to grace any road car so far. So loud that every Aston Martin Valkyrie is delivered with helicopter-grade, noise-cancelling headphones to protect you from redlining your eardrums. But not deafening: an external mic on the outside of the car picks up sirens and other signals so you can hear the road through its 12-cylinder orchestra. How did we build something so impossibly powerful?

The ultimate expression of hypercar design, engineering and performance.

BRAKE LIGHT

A quarter the size of a human eye

How small can you make a brake light? Every bulb in the world has to carry a legal mark, showing that it’s passed the relevant safety checks. In our case, that legal mark defined the size of the bulb we made – the lit part of the lamp is the same size as the legal text it has to carry. That’s as small as it can possibly be. And that size doesn’t stop it from being incredibly powerful.

BADGE

A symbol of such power. and 43% thinner than a human hair

The Aston Martin Valkyrie is more than just a sports car. It’s a true hypercar, taking F1® technology to the road. That pushes obsessions with weight-saving and aerodynamics to all new levels. Every milligram counts, and everywhere we can reduce weight and improve aerodynamic flow, we do. All our cars carry the famous scarab beetle-inspired Aston Martin wings badge, and the Aston Martin Valkyrie is no exception.

CARBON BLADE

A single blade

Our original design was to have no windscreen wiper on the Aston Martin Valkyrie. When it’s moving, the aerodynamics of the car, coupled with the angle of the windscreen, mean the rain runs right off. But sometimes a road car has to stop at traffic lights, leaving us with no other route but to add a wiper. This meant we had to build a blade that would work in the most extreme conditions. At barely imaginable speeds. Bending around the hardly-believable curvature of the Aston Martin Valkyrie’s windscreen.
