Aston Martin Valhalla hybrid hypercar unveiled

The Valhalla is said to be capable of sprinting from 0 - 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds

Aston Martin has finally unveiled its plug-in hybrid hypercar, the Valhalla. The Aston Martin Valhalla was first revealed in 2021, however, over the last few years the carmaker has made significant updates, both to its exterior and interior, as well as its powertrain.

Starting off with the design, the Valhalla is built predominantly using carbon fibre. The hypercar gets dihedral doors integrated with a signature aerodynamic vane, which channels airflow to help reduce the temperature of both the engine and transmission, by a claimed 50%. The Valhalla also gets an adaptable rear wing and carbon fibre diffuser producing over 600 kg of downforce at 240-350 km/h. The Valhalla rides on 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tyres.

Inside, the Valhalla features a two-seater cockpit & takes inspiration from the brand's F1 car with a low-slung seating position with single-piece carbon fibre seats. Other features include a central touchscreen compatible with Android Auto & Apple Carplay, dual-zone AC and a fully digital instrument cluster; among plenty of other tech and features.

Coming to the main part, the powertrain - the Aston Martin Valhalla is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged flat-plane-crank V8 engine. It is paired with 3 electric motors, 2 of them on the front axle and 1 in the form of a starter generator. The plug-in hybrid powertrain puts out a total output of 1,079 BHP and 1,110 Nm. It is paired with a bespoke 8-speed dual-clutch transmission without a reverse gear, but completely controlled by the electric motor.

The Valhalla is said to be capable of sprinting from 0 - 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and can reach an electronically limited top speed of 350 km/h. It has an EV-only range of 14 km and can hit a top speed of 140 km/h in EV mode.
