Aston Martin Valhalla Arrives With Mid-Engine Hybrid Power And Insanely Good Looks

Aston Martin has finally unveiled its landmark mid-engined hybrid supercar, the Valhalla. It combines the cutting-edge performance and technologies of Formula 1 with stunning design and exhilarating driving dynamics.

The Valhalla is the marque’s first series production mid-engined supercar, its first plug-in hybrid, and its first car to feature dedicated EV range capability. In addition, it’s the first model equipped with an 828PS 4.0-litre twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8 engine paired with an all-new 8-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), incorporating an e-Motor and electronic rear differential (E-diff).

The incredible powertrain provides 1079PS and 1100Nm of torque, which produces an additional 251PS when combined with the three E-motors. Valhalla targets blistering performance benchmarks, accelerating from 0-100km/h in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 350 km/h.

Drawing inspiration from the revolutionary Aston Martin Valkyrie, Valhalla’s active aerodynamics generate over 600kg of downforce at 240 km/h. This figure remains consistent up to its maximum speed. Valhalla also employs advanced Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Control (IVC) electronics monitor suspension, steering, active aerodynamics, braking, and powertrain systems to deliver an unparalleled driving experience. The vehicle has Sport, Pure EV, Sport+, and Race drive modes. Each mode is calibrated for distinct performance.

The supercar also introduces a bold new design while bearing Aston Martin’s timeless elegance with innovative high-downforce active aerodynamics. This was achieved through close collaboration with Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT), producing a car that excels on both road and track.

The exterior features a carbon fiber body, available as painted or exposed carbon. Dramatic forward-hinged dihedral doors hinge upwards to provide effortless ingress and egress, offering elegance and functionality. These doors are equipped with door-turning vanes, a unique aerodynamic feature that directs airflow to enhance the engine’s cooling efficiency and transmission by 50%.

The car’s rear includes two large venturi tunnels and a quad exhaust system, while the roof includes an F1-inspired roof snorkel. Customers can choose between forged aluminum wheels in three finishes or ultra-lightweight magnesium wheels for extreme performance.

Inside, the Valhalla is influenced by F1 design, featuring lightweight carbon fiber seats, raised footwells for a low hip-to-heel seating position, and a steering wheel with a one-piece carbon fiber armature. The Amphitheatre line wraps around the cabin while the carbon brace runs the cabin’s width, which includes a floating Instrument Panel on top.

Aston Martin HMI system offers a driver-centric display of information, featuring a Race mode layout with a large linear tachometer and shift lights, expanded view function during road driving, and a central touchscreen incorporating new EV features such as a uniquely designed drivetrain visualizer illustrating the PHEV Powerflow.

Q by Aston Martin allows customers to explore endless customization options for Valhalla, creating a one-of-a-kind vehicle. With 999 units planned for production, Aston Martin anticipates high demand for bespoke configuration.

Valhalla’s industrialization phase is ongoing, with first deliveries scheduled for Q2 2025. For more details on this groundbreaking supercar, visit the brand’s website.
