The Aston Martin Valkyrie is as spectacular as we expected... or more

A supercar is always spectacular, but some of them even exceed all our expectations. The Aston Martin Valkyrie is gradually revealing itself, and today we have a few more photos, showing the look it will finally have and some of its features. We already know this model has been created in collaboration between the British brand and the Red Bull Racing team, so we know we can count on everything that makes both companies great.

The look we see has undergone some changes compared to the images from earlier previews. The way they have managed the airflow along the underside is striking, something that is evident in the side images of the car. The air is channelled through tunnels designed into the car’s underbody, which create a surprising look and, we assume, help make the aerodynamic downforce lower.

The interior is as striking as the exterior. The two seats are integrated into the cabin, very close together. The occupants’ position recalls that of Formula 1 drivers and seems designed for high-speed driving. A four-point harness helps increase occupant safety, although if they don’t feel secure enough, they can have another with six anchor points.

The dashboard is completely free of controls. Everything comes down to the steering wheel and a central screen that controls most functions. The remaining controls are located on the steering wheel itself, so the driver has everything needed to access the car’s features within reach. The two screens you can see in the images accompanying the article, located on either side of the cabin, act as mirrors, so they also remain in the driver’s view in a very practical way.

Pay attention to the doors. Instead of full doors, they are a kind of hatch, so access to the cabin will be somewhat difficult for anyone who is not in good physical shape. A detail we assume is part of the model’s sporty essence.

Apparently, they have not yet finished designing the car. Although they say they had to fight for every millimetre of the car, they are quite satisfied with the result, so much so that the design already seems to be 95% finalised. That means that when it reaches the market, within a few months, it will look very similar to what we see.

As for the propulsion system, this supercar will use a hybrid system, equipped with a 6.5-litre V12 engine, which together with the electric motor will deliver 1,145 CV. Considering the weight will be around that figure, it will have a power-to-weight ratio of 1/1. That’s something else.

Some changes may fall by the wayside, but we don’t think they will be very visible. Only 150 units will be made for the road, plus a special track edition with just 25 units. What do you think of this supercar? Do you like it as much as we do?
