Aston Martin Valhalla hypercar review: A £850,000 hybrid with 1,067 horsepower

Priced from £850,000, the Aston Martin Valhalla delivers 1,067 hybrid horsepower from a twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors. Production is limited to 999 units, with nearly 200 already delivered including one to Gordon Ramsay. Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman recommends the bespoke Andromeda Red paint, a £100,000 option. The car features active aerodynamics generating up to 610 kg of downforce and a top speed of 217 mph, reaching 62 mph in 2.5 seconds. Its development spanned multiple Aston Martin CEOs since a prototype appeared in the 2019 James Bond film No Time to Die. The interior offers minimalist design with exposed carbon-fiber seats, though luggage space is minimal due to mechanical components. Compared to rivals like the McLaren W1 (£2 million) and Ferrari F80 (£3.15 million), the Valhalla is positioned as a relative bargain. Testing occurred at Circuito de Navarra in northern Spain.
