Aston Martin Valhalla - The Ultimate Driver's Supercar

Aston Martin has finally announced the arrival of the 2025 Valhalla, a car that has been in concept form for far too long. Originally introduced as the AM-RB 003 (doesn't that sound better than Valhalla?), it is the marque's first plug-in hybrid production vehicle and its first series production mid-engine supercar.

The Valhalla features a bespoke 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-plane crank V8 engine producing 828PS, supported by three electric motors that contribute an additional 251PS. With a combined output of 1,079PS and 1,100Nm of torque, the Valhalla achieves a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) time of just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).

This hybrid system also allows for a fully electric driving mode, offering a range of 14 km and a top speed of 140 km/h (80 mph), underscoring its versatility as both a supercar and a sustainable luxury vehicle.

The Valhalla incorporates an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission paired with an electronic rear differential, ensuring precision and responsiveness. The powertrain is supported by Aston Martin's high-performance battery system, featuring innovative dielectric cooling for optimal performance during high-demand driving scenarios. The hybrid system also includes regenerative braking, which enhances efficiency by converting kinetic energy into usable electric power.

Aston Martin's collaboration with Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT) has resulted in cutting-edge aerodynamics for the Valhalla. Active aerodynamic systems generate over 600kg of downforce at speeds exceeding 240 km/h.

The integrated front and rear aerodynamic components adapt dynamically to driving conditions, optimizing performance across a range of speeds and driving modes. In Race mode, the active rear wing extends by 255mm to maximize downforce.

The Valhalla's chassis is built around a bespoke carbon monocoque designed for maximum stiffness and minimal weight. This results in a lightweight structure that enhances agility while maintaining structural integrity.

The suspension system features Formula 1®-style push rod front suspension and adaptive dampers, providing exceptional handling and comfort across different driving environments. The braking system incorporates advanced carbon ceramic discs for stopping power and durability, complemented by brake-by-wire technology for precise modulation.

Inside, the Valhalla offers a motorsport-inspired driver-centric experience. Its cockpit features lightweight, one-piece carbon fiber seats and a raised footwell for a low hip-to-heel seating position, and the carbon fiber steering wheel reflects Formula 1® design principles. The car's human-machine interface (HMI) system includes a central touchscreen and a column-mounted driver display, which provides real-time information tailored for both road and track use.

The Valhalla's exterior design embodies Aston Martin's commitment to form and function. Its carbon fiber body showcases sleek, aerodynamic lines, with dihedral doors adding a dramatic flair.

Functional features like the roof-mounted air scoop and concealed cooling ducts ensure efficient airflow and engine cooling while maintaining the car's aesthetic elegance. As you would expect, customers can personalize their Valhalla with a variety of paint finishes, exposed carbon fiber options, and bespoke livery themes through Aston Martin's Q customization program.

Scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2025, the Valhalla is limited to only 999 units, ensuring exclusivity for its discerning clientele. As Aston Martin CEO Adrian Hallmark states, the Valhalla represents the brand's vision for the future and combines its heritage of luxury with F1®-inspired innovation to deliver the ultimate driver's supercar.
