‘It has over a thousand horsepower. That’s not a car; that’s a polite way of asking physics to leave the chat.’
The Valhalla is Aston Martin’s mid-engined Norse god on wheels.
Part Batmobile, part Bond car, and entirely bonkers.
With over 1,000 horsepower, a plug-in hybrid V8, and three electric motors, it’s a 217mph carbon-fibre warhead.
Only 999 will exist, meaning you’re far more likely to hear about one than actually see one.
Unless, of course, you frequent car parks with valet service and a helipad.
Aston Martin Valhalla: Cutting-Edge Hybrid Supercar
In 2015, Aston Martin signed Lotus chassis whisperer Matt Becker, a move hailed as a genius, albeit one that paid dividends years after he left.
Between 2021 and 2024, Valhalla development begins in earnest.
A mid-engined Aston? Finally, a break from decades of front-engined charm and fire-breathing bonnets.
In Q2 2025, production begins. Only 999 units are planned.
So, if you see two in a Waitrose car park, you’re either dreaming or in Dubai.
The powertrain is a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors, producing 1,064 bhp and 811 lb-ft of torque.
Enough to shame most private jets.
Performance–0–60mph in under 2.5 seconds, top speed 217mph, and more downforce than a wind tunnel on Red Bull.
Regarding testing, the final validation at IDIADA in Spain, plus UK roads, because if it can survive Britain’s potholes, it can survive anything.
The interior has carbon-fibre seats, a squared-off wheel, and a Bowers & Wilkins system, just in case Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries wasn’t dramatic enough.
‘At over a thousand horsepower, this isn’t a hybrid. It’s a hostage negotiation with the laws of motion.’
