Aston Martin Valhalla made its global public dynamic debut yesterday ahead of the Monaco Formula One® Grand Prix weekend. Driven by Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® team driver and two-time Formula One World Champion Fernando Alonso, Valhalla took to the iconic Monaco street circuit ahead of F1® practice, having recently completed final validation testing both on road and on track.
Valhalla has already captured the world’s attention with its fusion of Formula 1® performance-driven technologies. Close collaboration with Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT)—the consulting arm of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1® Team—on dynamics, aerodynamics, and materials has added an extra dimension to the design and development of Valhalla.
Having only appeared in public on static display until now, this was the supercar’s first dynamic public performance, highlighting its cutting-edge hybrid powertrain, superior handling, unparalleled driving dynamics, and scintillating design.
A monumental moment in Aston Martin‘s rich 112-year history, Valhalla is seen taking to the infamous street circuit through Monte Carlo in an AMR25 race car-inspired Podium Green with a Lime Green livery. The supercar’s principal development driver, Fernando Alonso, is at the wheel, pushing the car to its limits around Casino Square and through the Tunnel.
With a combination of 1079PS and 1100Nm via the hybrid powertrain, Valhalla is a car of many ‘firsts’: Aston Martin’s first series production mid-engined supercar, first plug-in hybrid and first production vehicle with dedicated EV range capability.
The marque’s first model to use the bespoke 4.0-litre twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8 engine – the highest performing V8 engine ever fitted to an Aston Martin – and the first to use the marque’s all-new 8-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which incorporates an e-Motor and electronic rear differential (E-diff). It is also the first application of the all-new front axle twin motors, which facilitate torque vectoring and contribute to the all-wheel drive system.
Limited to 999 units, delivery of Aston Martin’s ultimate supercar, Valhalla, is set to commence in H2 2025.
