Broad Arrow Auctions is set to make waves at its inaugural Zoute Concours Auction this October, and the star attraction is none other than the Aston Martin Valkyrie once owned and personally commissioned by Formula One legend Daniel Ricciardo. With production of Aston Martin’s halo hypercar ending in late 2024, opportunities to acquire one are already rare. Add Ricciardo’s motorsport pedigree to the mix, and chassis number 089 instantly becomes one of the most desirable Valkyries in existence.
The Valkyrie represents one of the purest transfers of F1 technology to the road. Developed by Aston Martin in collaboration with Red Bull Racing and guided by the genius of Adrian Newey, the car pushes boundaries of aerodynamics and engineering. At its heart sits a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated Cosworth V12, paired with a hybrid KERS system, producing a staggering 1,000 horsepower and revving all the way to 11,100 rpm. For anyone who has heard one at full chat, it’s as close to Formula One theatre as you can experience with number plates attached.
Ricciardo himself summed it up best: “It feels like a race car, and it looks like a race car. I’m not used to having a roof over my head, but otherwise, it’s a pretty straight-up race car.”
Commissioned through Aston Martin’s Q bespoke division, Ricciardo’s Valkyrie wears Dichroic Dawn paintwork—a £30,000 option he nicknamed ‘Badger Blue’ in homage to his “Honey Badger” persona. The colour shifts in the light, accentuating the Valkyrie’s extreme curves and aerodynamic surfaces.
Other standout details include:
-
Exposed satin carbon fibre elements, including the suspension shrouds.
-
Ultra-lightweight magnesium wheels finished in matte black with custom Badger Blue centres.
-
A cabin lined in Pure Black debossed Alcantara with satin carbon trim.
-
Removable steering wheel with silver-anodised toggle switches.
-
Carbon fibre bucket seats with silver contrast stitching.
With just 160 km on the odometer, Ricciardo’s Valkyrie has lived a pampered life in his private collection, making it essentially factory-fresh.
Set for 10 October 2025 at the Approach Golf, Knokke-Heist, the Broad Arrow Zoute Concours Auction will feature around 70 collectible cars. But Ricciardo’s Valkyrie, estimated between €2.4m and €2.8m, will undoubtedly be the headline act.
As Ricciardo himself puts it: “Will we ever see another car like this again? I can’t predict the future. But when you ask if it is the pinnacle of road legal technology, then yes, I think it is.”
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this is more than just a hypercar. It’s a piece of motorsport history wrapped in one of the most extreme road cars ever built.
