Valhalla Aston Martin Valhalla (a.k.a. Project 003)

Centurion · Feb 15, 2023

Hot hot car. Exit the GT market and turn Aston Martin into a hypercar brand.

If the car actually only weighs 1550 kg and makes this kind of power it will be incredible. I have a feeling it weighs closer to 1700 kg. Still looks amazing. If I had any faith in Aston to deliver I’d consider.

1550kg is the target dry weight. It could very well end up being 1600kg dry, or 1700kg dry, who knows, it's AM. That said, looking at the weight of the SF90, if the Valhalla is CF chassis+CF panels, then 1700kg curb weight - which would be around 100kg less than the Alu SF90 - is realistic. But that's, of course, if we assume that AM are even minimally competent - which probably isn't the case.

Either way, this is another case of a hypercar that will suffer greatly from being delayed so much. Currently they are projecting deliveries in "mid 2024", which will be 3 years behind the original projection of 2021 and 6 months+ behind the re-imagined projection of "late 2023" for the updated design. I think that even mid 2024 is optimistic, though, and I expect late 2024 as the earliest realistic date. By then we'll have the Aventador replacement, which this directly competes against, the SF90 VS, possibly the 720S replacement or very close to it, the P1 and LaFerrari successors and who knows what else. And that's if the car even makes it to production, which, with how poor AM's financial situation is, is far from guaranteed. No wonder it's one of the few hypercars that's not sold out yet.

Mclaren is the only company that will realistically keep the weight down. The 720s replacement will keep it under 1550 kg wet. Power will be likely not be 1000, but it will be crazy. Lambo (allegedly) is claiming 3500 pounds dry for the replacement of the Aventdor. So figure 3800 wet? That's roughly SF90 numbers and power will be slightly higher. I agree Aston is too late to the market but they'll definitely sell all 999 of them, because it looks that good.

Maybe. Depends on whether or not it will be RWD, or AWD with electric motors up front. The Artura, which is RWD, is already at 1550kg and the 720S successor will be bigger with a bigger engine - so getting to 1550kg will already be pretty hard, although still possible. If it's AWD, though, with the same architecture as Aventador replacement/SF90, then no chance.

The Aventador successor, if they are claiming 1700kg dry, will be 1900-1950kg curb.

I am not sure that everyone agrees the Valhalla looks so great. I find the original concept a lot cleaner and better looking. With this version they basically just attempted to slap "Aston Martin face" on the car and ended up looking a bit funny as a result.

The Valkyrie has set high expectations for this car. I love the way it looks and hope that it will be a success.

It's definitely not sold out. I know that much. But I believe they are planning a Spider? I could be wrong.

But Aston Martin HAVE to deliver 6:30 now. They said it's their target.

It has? I think the exact opposite. The expectation is that it will be delayed for years and riddled with issues when it arrives.

6;30 for Valkyrie or Valhalla? And Aston has a habit of missing targets…..

Aston will apologise to customers caps signed by Fernando Alonso.

If Elon can use customer deposits as interest free loans 3-5 years ahead of product delivery, so can Aston.

Shameful but not uncommon practice.

Please don’t compare Elon to Stroll! Lol. In all seriousness, I agree that practice is garbage (hello Tesla roadster) but Aston has a history of bankruptcies and under performing while Tesla stock has made more millionaires than any modern company.

Final specifications for brand's first plug-in hybrid revealed as it gears up to battle the Ferrari SF90

"Aston reckons this is sufficient for a 0-62mph time of 2.5sec, a top speed of 217mph and, crucially, a targeted record-breaking Nurburgring lap time of 6min 30sec."

They aren't taking the Aston Martin Valkyrie there it seems, nevermind the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro.

Shame, really.

yup too much to lose, not much to gain. Similar to McLaren with the P1
