Aston Martin Valhalla has PHEV powertrain

The Valhalla has a 793 kW (1,079 hp) and 1,100 Nm strong PHEV powertrain consisting of a 608 kW (828 hp) strong 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with flat crankshaft and three E-motors delivering another 184 kW (251 hp). The car has an electronically limited top speed of 350 km/h and sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds. On the front axle, the Aston Martin Valhalla has two electric motors. The Valhalla also has an electric drive mode with a driving range of 14 km and a top speed of 140 km/h.

Lots of downforce!

Shifting is done with an all-new hybridized eight-speed dual-clutch transmission equipped with a hydraulically operated electronic rear differential. Active aerodynamics have also been thought of. The supercar generates more than 600 kilograms of downforce at a speed of 240 km/h. It also features DRS and air braking functions. The chassis is an ultra-light carbon fiber monocoque, weighing only 74.2 kilograms, contributes to the total dry weight of 1,655 kilograms.

Driving dynamics

Valhalla offers four driving modes: EV, Sport, Sport+ and Race. These modes adjust power distribution, suspension, active aerodynamics and steering response. Race mode maximizes performance, while EV mode provides a quiet, electric driving experience. The brakes, with 410 mm carbon ceramic discs at the front and 390 mm at the rear, guarantee excellent stopping power and consistency even in tough conditions, Aston Martin promises.

Design and interior design

The Valhalla introduces a new design era for Aston Martin. The exterior features flowing lines and functional aerodynamic elements, such as an F1-inspired roof inlet and dihedral doors for optimal accessibility. The interior combines Formula One influences with luxury materials such as recycled carbon fiber and offers an innovative HMI display with driving modes and EV functionality. Personalization through Q by Aston Martin makes each Valhalla unique.

Production will begin in the second quarter of 2025. The print run is limited to 999 units.
