Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Tobias Moers commented: "It is an immensely proud moment for us to complete our first ever hypercar. The Valkyrie programme has tested everyone who has worked on it to the limit but the commitment to the dream has produced a truly incredible car, an F1 car for the road. The Valkyrie is born out of the steadfast dedication of a large group of highly skilled engineers and technicians who have worked tirelessly to get the Valkyrie to the production stage. I’m sure our customers will be delighted with what they have achieved."
Like all Aston Martin sports cars, the
Valkyrie is being built at the marque’s UK Headquarters in Gaydon. A
dedicated project delivery team manages the build right through to
delivery in a specially commissioned Valkyrie production area. A team of
highly skilled technicians are hand-building each of the 150 cars, with
each Valkyrie taking over 2000 man hours to create.
Before each
Valkyrie is delivered, it is track-tested at the Aston Martin high
performance facility at the home of British Motor Racing, Silverstone
where much of the development of the hypercar has taken place.
Boasting
a hybrid V12 powertrain developing a maximum power of 1,155 PS, the
Aston Martin Valkyrie incorporates concepts and technologies taken
directly from F1 and is set to be the era defining hypercar.
