Aston Martin has unveiled the Valhalla, their first series production mid-engined hybrid supercar. Drawing on the brand’s rich 107-year racing lineage, Valhalla most notably features advanced aerodynamics and a sophisticated plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Eschewing garish styling, Valhalla’s flowing carbon fiber bodywork conceals active aerodynamics generating over 1,322 lbs of downforce. Inside, the cockpit cocoons driver and passenger with beautifully tailored carbon fiber seats and minimalist switchgear, evoking the ethos of form following function.

Under the skin, Valhalla pioneers electrification for the brand. Its 1,064-hp hybrid powertrain marries a bespoke 817-hp 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with three e-motors, while an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission channels torque vectoring to provide tenacious grip. Augmented by active aerodynamics, Valhalla can rocket from 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds.

Yet raw pace is only part of Valhalla’s appeal. Integrated vehicle control systems allow the driver to finely tune the car’s behavior. With the turn of a dial, Valhalla transforms from a civilized road car into a track weapon. This adaptability highlights the car’s duality of purpose.

Valhalla continues Aston Martin’s tradition of offering customers extensively personalized options via the brand’s bespoke Q service. Production is limited to 999 units, with first deliveries slated for the second half of 2025.
