The Aston Martin Valhalla is a mid-engined hybrid supercar set to replace the Vantage and join the Vanquish as the company's flagship models. It features an 800V electrical architecture and will debut a new turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6 engine with an electric motor, producing a combined 950 horsepower.
The Valhalla is designed for track driving, utilizing active aerodynamics to generate up to 1,700 pounds of downforce at high speeds. Its chassis is made from forged aluminum and features a rigid carbon fiber and aluminum composite structure.
Inside, the cabin will be trimmed in premium materials such as Alcantara, with bespoke design options available. A lightweight, carbon fiber-intensive design helps to achieve an estimated weight of around 1,500 kg (3,307 lbs).
Aston Martin claims that the Valhalla will accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in under 2.5 seconds and can reach a top speed of over 225 mph (362 km/h). The model's name is inspired by Norse mythology, with "Valhalla" referring to a paradise for heroes after death.
The Valhalla will be priced at around £1 million (approximately $1.3 million USD), although UK tax incentives could bring the final cost down closer to £900,000 ($1.17 million USD). The car's official reveal is expected in 2022, with deliveries beginning shortly after.
