The Valkyrie is the kind of car where the color it's painted in doesn't matter at all; it always looks very impressive. Usually, the design steals the show from the color. However, here we see an exceptionally beautifully painted specimen, done in a stunning shade of violet.
This Valkyrie can definitely be counted among the most beautiful ones here on autogespot. According to the internet, it's only the second violet model so far. There probably won't be many more. The Valkyrie was developed in close collaboration between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing Advanced Technologies. The design comes from Adrian Newey, a renowned Formula 1 designer.
The Valkyrie is powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine developed by Cosworth. This engine is one of the most powerful naturally aspirated engines ever installed in a road car, with over 1,000 horsepower. The straight-cut gearbox can make a very interesting and unusual sound at low engine speeds, somewhat like that of the CLK GTR, just even louder and a bit more regular. But when the driver pushes the pedal down, you can definitely hear the exhilarating and immersive sound.
In addition to the V12 engine, the Valkyrie features a hybrid system developed by Rimac. This system further increases the overall power of the vehicle and ensures impressive acceleration. The Valkyrie reaches a top speed of over 250 miles per hour (about 402 km/h) and accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour (approximately 97 km/h) in less than three seconds.
Aston Martin originally planned to produce only 150 units of the Valkyrie, making it an extremely limited and sought-after collector's car option.
