Aston Martin Valhalla Nears Final Validation Ahead of Q2 2025 Production – 1,079PS, 1,100Nm of Tourque

Aston Martin has officially released on-road images of the Valhalla as it nears the final stages of validation ahead of its production launch in the second quarter of 2025. Currently undergoing rigorous testing both on-road in the UK and on-track near Barcelona, the mid-engined hybrid supercar is being fine-tuned to ensure exceptional performance in real-world conditions.

The Valhalla has been seen in two striking liveries—Podium Green with Lime Green accents and Verdant Jade with Valkyrie Gold—while being put through its paces at the IDIADA proving ground in Spain. Aston Martin engineers, alongside three-time Le Mans class winner Darren Turner, are conducting final calibrations on steering precision, active aerodynamics, and the thermal braking system’s performance. In addition to track testing, another Valhalla, finished in Satin Scintilla Silver with Lime Green highlights, is undergoing damper calibration on UK roads to refine its ride quality and handling characteristics.

Simon Newton, Aston Martin’s Director of Vehicle Performance and Attributes, emphasized the unprecedented dynamic capability of the Valhalla, made possible by its hybrid powertrain that produces an astonishing 1,079PS and 1,100Nm of torque. The car is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8, the most powerful V8 ever fitted to an Aston Martin, and is paired with three electric motors, allowing for plug-in hybrid capability and a dedicated EV driving mode. It also features Aston Martin’s all-new 8-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which incorporates an integrated e-Motor and an electronic rear differential for enhanced control and efficiency. The front-axle twin motors contribute to an advanced all-wheel-drive system with torque vectoring, elevating the supercar’s handling dynamics.

As Aston Martin’s first series-production mid-engined supercar and its first plug-in hybrid model, the Valhalla represents a groundbreaking step for the brand. With a design philosophy that merges Aston Martin Performance Technologies with Formula 1 innovations, the Valhalla is engineered to deliver an exhilarating driving experience on both road and track.

Production of the Valhalla will be strictly limited to just 999 units, ensuring its exclusivity among high-performance supercars. As testing nears completion, anticipation continues to build for Aston Martin’s most advanced road-going machine yet, which is set to redefine the brand’s future in the high-performance automotive landscape.
