Aston Martin’s newest generation of supercar gets another step closer to hitting the streets.
With a limited production series of recent examples, including track-focused powerhouses like the Valour and Valkyrie, Aston Martin is really showcasing its knack for engineering road-legal racecars. And although the Valkyrie is making recent news with owners taking delivery of their cars trackside and its production cycling coming to an end, the Aston Martin Valhalla is stealing back the spotlight as the manufacturer just announced that it just began the final validation testing phase. Revealed back in December 2024 with the title ‘The Ultimate Drivers Supercar,’ the Aston Martin Valhalla checked itself off as the brand’s first series production mid-engined supercar, first plug-in hybrid, and first production vehicle with dedicated EV range capability.
Aston Martin brought the Valhalla to multiple sites at the IDIADA proving ground in Spain, where it will undergo a series of high-speed wet and dry handling circuits before their final sign-off. An on-road validation must also be completed before the nearly $3 million supercar continues onto its next phase. But this shouldn’t be an issue with Aston Martin engineers and three-time Le Mans class winner and Aston Martin development driver Darren Turner at the lead. Both Valhallas, finished in Podium Green with a Lime Green livery and Verdant Jade with a Valkyrie Gold livery, are now being put through their paces to prove themselves.
Simon Newton, Director of Vehicle Performance and Attributes said, “For the engineering and dynamics teams, the unprecedented dynamic bandwidth that distinguishes Valhalla from its rivals has presented many new opportunities during development. With a combination of 1079PS (1,064 horsepower) and 1100Nm (811 ft-lbs of torque) via the hybrid powertrain, extreme performance is a given. To harness and refine the power to deliver an exceptional supercar experience on both road and track has meant tireless work has gone into the integration of active aerodynamics and integrated control systems.”
Limited to just 999 units worldwide, production of Aston Martin’s ultimate supercar, the Valhalla, is set to start in Q2 2025. View all Aston Martins for sale on duPont REGISTRY by clicking the link below.
