The Valhalla marks a significant shift for Aston Martin, moving away from its traditional front-engine GT cars into the world of mid-engine supercars. Positioned between the extreme Valkyrie and the brandโs long-established grand tourers, the Valhalla introduces Aston to a new arena crowded with rivals like the Ferrari SF90, Lamborghini Revuelto, and McLarenโs upcoming offerings.
Built around a carbon tub with aluminum subframes and pushrod suspension, the Valhalla combines AMGโs 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors for a total of 1,064 hp and 811 lb-ft of torque. Thatโs good for 0โ62 mph in 2.5 seconds and a 217 mph top speed. The Valhalla is equipped with an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox and features standard carbon-ceramic brakes.
Top Gear was able to test drive a prototype Valhalla on track at Silverstoneโs Stowe Circuit, and learned plenty about Aston Martinโs newest limited-edition hypercar.
