Valhalla, the long awaited and much-anticipated new offering from renowned British marque Aston Martin, is finally here.

Dubbed ‘the ultimate drivers’ supercar’ the Valhalla, which has a limited production run of 999 vehicles, offers a sector defining combination of road and track capability with its electronically limited maximum speed of 350km/h and 0 to 100km/h acceleration time of just 2.5 seconds.

Promising almost 1,065hp and 1,100Nm of torque, the vehicle combines a bespoke 828PS flat plane crank 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine with three E-motors delivering a further 251PS. This makes it the highest performing engine ever fitted in an Aston Martin.

The all-new, hybridised eight-speed Dual Clutch Transmission is equipped with highly responsive hydraulically actuated Electronic Rear Differential and active aerodynamics achieve and maintain in excess of 600kg of downforce from 240km/h to 350km/h.

With development now at an advanced stage, production on Aston Martin’s landmark mid-engined hybrid supercar is expected to begin in the second quarter of the year.

Aston Martin CEO, Adrian Hallmark, said: “Four years ago we set out on a journey to transform the Aston Martin brand by taking its historic and unmatched luxury credentials and adding cutting-edge, F1-inspired technology and class-leading performance, with the aim of taking on the most successful brands in the world.

“With the next generation of sportscars launched to critical acclaim, we are now adding the first ever mid-engine series production Aston Martin to our portfolio, the ultimate drivers’ supercar. On paper and on-track Valhalla delivers the most driver-focused, technologically advanced supercar, with true hypercar performance and yet, on the road it is as useable and enjoyable as any Aston Martin.” ✤
