Aston Martin Valhalla production model final specs revealed
And Fernando Alonso also had a hand in it
The Valhalla marks Aston Martin's first mass-produced mid-engined super sports car and the brand's first plug-in hybrid model. With cutting-edge technology, impressive performance and unmistakable design, the Brits are aiming to make a real splash in the super sports car pond and put pressure on the likes of the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, Lamborghini Revuelto and McLaren Artura.
Valhalla - Wikipedia offers several meanings for this term. According to Greek mythology, Valhalla is a "resting place for fallen warriors". Aha. So how do we get round to the first real supercar from Aston Martin? We like the second definition of Valhalla better: it is the name of a Spanish power metal band. And with "power", the Aston Martin is right back on topic.

The Valhalla is powered by a hybrid powertrain that delivers a total output of 1,079 PS and a torque of 1,100 Nm. At the centre of this powertrain is a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine with 828 PS, which is supported by three electric motors.
Two of these electric motors drive the front axle, while the third is integrated into the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and supports the rear axle. This configuration enables the Valhalla to reach a top speed of 217 mph and accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds.
An outstanding feature of the Valhalla is its active aerodynamics, which were developed in collaboration with Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT). Incidentally, this department also advises the in-house Formula 1 team. And it is rumoured that even superstar Fernando Alonso has given his input into the development of the car.
The active aero technology enables the vehicle to generate over 600 kg of downforce at speeds of 150 to 217 mph. The active aerodynamics include functions such as the Drag Reduction System (DRS) and the air brake, which optimise the car's stability and performance at high speeds. The Valhalla's aerodynamic elements are designed to minimise drag while maximising downforce, resulting in improved driving stability and performance.
The design of the Valhalla is an evolution of Aston Martin's signature aesthetic, combined with innovative aerodynamic solutions. The body is made from carbon fibre, which not only reduces weight but also increases structural integrity and safety. The front-opening doors and Formula 1-inspired roof air intake give the car a striking and functional look. These design elements not only contribute to the aesthetics of the vehicle, but also improve aerodynamic efficiency and powertrain cooling.
The interior of the Valhalla is just as impressive as its exterior. The seats are made from a single piece of carbon fibre and offer maximum support and comfort. The cockpit is very driver-orientated, with a clear and intuitive human-machine interface (HMI) that displays all important information. The HMI system includes a central touchscreen display that offers specially developed EV functions and a graphical representation of the hybrid powertrain. This display shows in real time how the powertrain is operating, when energy is being regenerated and when it is being used to boost performance.
The Valhalla offers four selectable driving modes: Sport, Sport+, Race and EV. Each mode adjusts the powertrain, steering and suspension settings to optimise the driving experience. In pure EV mode, the vehicle can travel up to 8 miles in all-electric mode, reaching a top speed of 87 mph.
The other modes combine the power of the V8 engine with the instant torque delivery of the electric motors to provide a dynamic and exhilarating driving experience. These driving modes allow the driver to adapt the vehicle to different driving conditions and personal preferences.
Another technical highlight of the Valhalla is the Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Control (IVC) system, which monitors and optimises the suspension, brakes, steering, active aerodynamics and powertrain. This system works in harmony with the four driving modes to maximise the vehicle's performance and handling in every situation.
The precise calibration of this system provides an organic and natural driving feel that is as impressive on the road as it is on the track. The IVC system utilises advanced algorithms and sensors to monitor and adjust vehicle dynamics in real time, resulting in improved driving stability and control.
