Aston Martin Valkyrie – new data

26 June 2017

There are new details about the first hypercare from Aston Martin

Aston Martin Valkyrie – British hypercar that should create a worthy competition to long-established the Trinity in this segment, the McLaren P1, Porsche 918, the Ferrari LaFerrari. Despite the fact that a full-scale model of the Valkyrie was presented in 2016 with great fanfare, the project is still a lot of questions. Or rather, almost no data about it from the official representatives of the brand.

But some media are able to learn insider information, such as power and weight as the Aston Martin Valkyrie. According to this Valkyrie will have a centrally-positioned engine production Cosworth V12 volume 6.5 l with a KERS system and an additional electric motor in the power plant with a total capacity of 1130 HP At the same time, the source said the curb weight of Valkyrie will be 1030 kg, and is almost 27 pounds less than the Mazda MX-5 Miata (!). If this is indeed the case, then the Aston Martin team will be the super star of the segment.

 

It is worth noting that earlier, officials said that the power of the Aston Martin Valkyrie will be 1:1. At this point you should stop, because judging by the numbers one-to-one does not work, is that curb weight included a 100-pound driver.

Previously, there was not very good quality video salon Valkyrie from whom we learned that Hyper car doors open upwards (gull wing) and within the Spartan atmosphere. On the other hand, if you design light and fast car, think about comfort – moveton. However, apart from the racing steering wheels, the engineers have placed on the dashboard big touch screen. So, Valkyrie is still equipped with media and audio systems.

 

Aston Martin said that the company plans to showcase a production version of Valkyrie in 2018 for the "24 hours of Le Mans". Given the aerodynamics of the car, Circuit de la Sarthe is more than suitable for "running in" Valkyrie.
