Aston Martin’s hybrid supercar in the final validation phase

Aston Martin today unveils official images of the Valhalla in action, both on the road and on track.

This exceptional model, the Aston Martin Valhalla, currently in the final validation phase, is undergoing rigorous testing in the United Kingdom and at the IDIADA circuit in Spain, ahead of production launch scheduled for the second quarter of 2025.

Designed to deliver unmatched performance on road and track, the Valhalla stands out with its spectacular design and cutting-edge technology. Driven in testing by Darren Turner, a three-time category winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and Aston Martin development driver, it embodies the perfect balance between power and control.

Its plug-in hybrid powertrain develops a combined power of 1079 hp and an impressive torque of 1100 Nm. It pairs a bespoke 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with a flat crankshaft producing 828 hp, with three electric motors delivering an additional 251 hp. This exceptional mechanical setup allows the Valhalla to reach a top speed of 350 km/h (electronically limited) and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds.

Validation tests focus on calibrating dynamic behavior, active aerodynamics, and cooling of the braking system. A Satin Scintilla Silver model with Lime Green livery is currently being tested on UK roads to fine-tune suspension adjustments, while other variants in Podium Green and Verdant Jade are being tested on high-performance circuits in Spain.

Simon Newton, Director of Vehicle Performance and Attributes, emphasizes the scope of the work done: “With exceptional combined power and cutting-edge technology, the Valhalla sets new standards. Its development required meticulous integration of active aerodynamic systems and advanced dynamic controls.”

The first series supercar with a central engine from Aston Martin, the first plug-in hybrid, and the first to offer 100% electric range, the Valhalla marks a key milestone for the brand. Produced in a limited series of 999 units, it promises to be an absolute benchmark from the start of production in 2025.
