The 2025 Aston Martin Valkyrie is a hybrid hypercar co-developed with Red Bull Advanced Technologies, featuring a Cosworth-built 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 that revs to 11,100 RPM, paired with a Rimac-supplied electric motor for a combined 1,139 horsepower. Designed by Adrian Newey, its radical aerodynamic package generates Formula 1-levels of downforce through venturi tunnels and active surfaces, enabling cornering forces exceeding 3G. The carbon fiber monocoque is so tightly packaged that the driver's feet sit higher than their hips, mimicking a racing car seating position. At approximately $3.5 million for one of just 150 road cars produced, the Valkyrie blurs the line between Le Mans prototype and road-legal vehicle.
Hypercars
A Formula 1-inspired hybrid hypercar co-designed by Adrian Newey, generating race-car downforce levels on the road.
The Aston Martin Valkyrie is one of the most ambitious road cars ever conceived. Co-developed with Red Bull Advanced Technologies and designed by Adrian Newey, its Cosworth V12 revving to 11,100 RPM paired with a Rimac electric motor produces 1,139 horsepower that sounds like nothing else on earth. The aerodynamic package generates F1-levels of downforce through venturi tunnels, enabling cornering forces exceeding 3G -- territory previously reserved for purpose-built race cars. The driving position reinforces that this is a road-legal prototype rather than a conventional supercar. However, the extreme packaging makes ingress and egress genuinely difficult, and the single-clutch gearbox can feel unrefined at low speeds. The Valkyrie delivers an experience that blurs the boundary between road and race car more effectively than perhaps any vehicle before it, but it demands significant compromises from its driver.
