Aston Martin Reveal 1,140 Hp (850 Kw) Valkyrie Spider

Customer deliveries of the ‘regular’ Aston Martin Valkyrie are yet to begin and here we already have a new version of the F1-inspired hypercar.

As the title suggests, it is the Valkyrie Spider and although it loses the gullwing doors, it still gets dihedral doors that had to be specifically developed for the Valkyrie Spider. The removable upper panel was conceived to maintain the aerodynamic performance of the fixed roof version while the weight penalty has been limited to an “absolute minimum.”

As expected the powertrain carries over which means it features a 6.5-litre V12 Cosworth built engine that can scream all the way to 11,000 rpm. Just imagine that noise without the roof on.

The V12 internal combustion unit works with a Rimac-developed e-motor, which helps the hypercar deliver a combined output of 1,140 hp (850 kW) to perfectly match the coupe.

Aston Martin Valkyrie Spyder gives you 11 000rpm in all its glory

With a redline of just over 11 100rpm, the 6.5-litre V12 engine that’s fitted to the Aston Martin Valkyrie has been described as the ultimate expression of the internal combustion engine.

Why then, would you not want to hear it in all its glory? The answer to that question comes in the form of the long-overdue Aston Martin Valkyrie Spider, which is an open top version of the British carmaker’s most extreme car ever.

The Valkyrie’s V12 hybrid powertrain remains unaltered, with 850kW and 900Nm on command, but Aston Martin has made alterations to the hypercar’s carbon fibre structure, while also reconfiguring the active aerodynamic and chassis system to ensure that the driving experience remains optimal when the roof is down. To accommodate its open-top format, the regular Valkyrie’s gullwing doors make way for front-hinged units that swing upwards.

Aston Martin says the Valkyrie Spider is only marginally heavier than its closed-roof counterpart, however it has not listed the kerb weight or acceleration figures as yet. The company does, however, mention a top speed of 330km/h with the top down, and 350km/h when the lightweight removable roof panel is in place.

The Aston Martin Valkyrie Spider has a truly impressive aerodynamics package that allows the car to achieve downforce levels of up to 1400kg at 240km/h. A key component here is its set of full-length Venturi tunnels, located on either side of the cabin, which pull huge quantities of air beneath the car to feed to the rear diffuser.

First Aston Martin Valkyrie Customer Car Ready For Delivery

Aston Martin CEO Tobias Moers said he was confident that his brand would “get to the finish line by the second half of this year.” His prediction was correct: the car is now in production, with customer deliveries of the first of the 150 road cars planned to take place in the next few weeks.

Moers said: “It is an immensely proud moment for us to complete our first-ever hypercar. The Aston Martin 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 Valkyrie to the production stage. I’m sure our customers will be delighted with what they have achieved.”

You’ll need to wear noise-cancelling headphones to drive your Valkyrie

Aston’s bonkers hypercar will be properly, properly loud. Which makes us love it all the more…

We already know that the Aston Martin Valkyrie is immensely, obscenely and brilliantly loud, but CEO Tobias Moers recently told TG that the noise in the cabin would be around the 126 decibel mark, meaning customers will need to wear noise-cancelling headphones when driving.

Moers said that all Valkyrie buyers were “okay with that”, which is good news. Presumably none were expecting their Adrian Newey-designed, Cosworth 6.5-litre V12-engined hypercar to be a quiet cruiser. For reference, on most decibel scales a jet taking off ranks around 120 decibels.

The Valkyrie’s engine is structural and bolted directly to the chassis, and Moers admitted that the noise couldn’t be reduced any further. Would you really want it to be, though? The noise just makes the Valkyrie even cooler, and you’ll look like a fighter pilot in your headphones and cramped little cockpit. Plus, the oil pump Aston is using for the engine is actually from an Apache helicopter, so there’s a genuine (if slightly tenuous) link there.

Aston has delivered 10 Valkyries to customers so far, with seven being road cars and three track-only AMR Pros.

Listen To The Glorious Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro Attacking The Bahrain GP Circuit

Oh and yes it sounds absolutely insane!

This weekend saw the return of Formula 1 racing for the year and although Aston Martin could only manage P12, they still had the best sounding car on the circuit.

The track hosted the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro, and fans were treated to its first demonstration run.

As a reminder, the 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine revs to 11,000 rpm and produces north of 1000 hp. Oh and yes it sounds absolutely insane!

The AMR Pro is a limited edition track car. Only 40 cars are being built and preference is being given to those who have ordered the Valkyrie road car.

Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro makes dynamic debut in Bahrain

New V12-engined track demon took to Sakhir track ahead of Formula 1 grand prix last weekend

The Aston Martin Valkyrie made its dynamic debut at the Bahrain Grand Prix last weekend, completing two runs of the Sakhir International circuit.

The hypercar, which is limited to track-only driving, completed its first run ahead of Saturday's qualifying session before rounding the circuit again on Sunday before the race.

The AMR Pro is driven by a Cosworth-developed 6.5-litre V12 engine that produces 1000bhp and can rev up to 11,000rpm. Top speed is claimed to stand at around 225mph.

To fine-tune the AMR Pro for the track, Aston Martin has fitted bespoke Michelin tyres suited for racing, Formula 1-inspired carbon brakes, perspex windows and lightened carbonfibre suspension.

Aston Martin’s bonkers Valkyrie AMR Pro dynamic debut at Bahrain F1

The Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro, one of the most unique cars to ever grace the tarmac, was spotted in Bahrain ahead of the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix this past weekend writes Ryan de Villiers

Aston Martin plans to produce only 40 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pros. The Aston Martin Valkyrie is the culmination of elegance, performance and in incredible application of Formula 1 technology to a road car. Luxurious touches act as a veil for the brutish nature of the Valkyrie. Born from the desire to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the beautiful and equally potent hybrid hypercar has already established itself as a capable track weapon. That being said, the Valkyrie has now received a tweak or two and has now evolved into the jaw-dropping hypercar known as the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro.

A true ascension from an already stellar platform, the AMR Pro is perhaps the pinnacle of automotive engineering. Aston Martin CEO, Tobias Moers sums up the AMR Pro perfectly, “Nothing else looks like it, nothing else sounds like it, and I am absolutely certain nothing else will drive like it!”

The most striking element of the AMR Pro is perhaps its astounding and breathtaking bodywork. Side-by-side with the Valkyrie, the resemblance is there, but the track-orientated AMR Pro is an exuberant ad even more radical variation on the Valkyrie theme. The evolution of the car has seen the introduction of a longer chassis and a wider wheelbase. Accompanied by a very aggressive aerodynamic package that adds 266 mm in length and doubles the amount of downforce – the AMR Pro is the epitome of no hold barred aerodynamics and performance.

Aston Martin Valkyrie Prototype Has Proper Code Brown Moment At Silverstone

Towards the end of last year, we saw the first customer Aston MartinValkyrie which was “ready for delivery” but some electrical gremlins have delayed the start of deliveries.

We have already seen and of course, heard the track-only Valkyrie AMR Pro and now we get to see another road-going prototype on track at Silverstone.

This time it was not as glamourous as you will see in the short 11-second clip below it was nearly a catastrophe for this prototype.

You can see the hypercar losing control and veering toward the barrier. Fortunately, the driver was able to regain some control at the right time to avoid a heavy collision with the wall. There was definite contact but a very lucky result nonetheless.

First ride: Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro review

Track-only version of V12 hypercar produces performance that's simply out of this world

What is it?

Deliveries of the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro - the track-only version of the V12 powered hypercar that the company promises offers an equivalent level of performance to a top-flight race car - have finally begun.

To celebrate the fact they also let a small group of journalists experience it from the passenger seat at the Homestead track in Florida, becoming the first people outside the company and the customer base to have the chance to feel its full brutality.
