The Aston Martin Valhalla is set to enter production nearly five years after it was first launched in 2019. Originally designed with a V6 hybrid system, the car now features a twin-turbocharged V8 engine and a plug-in hybrid system. This setup delivers advanced performance while meeting modern efficiency standards. Built with a carbon fiber tub and aluminum subframe, the Valhalla weighs 1,655kg. Production was initially capped at 500 units, which has now been increased to 999 units. Deliveries are expected to begin in the second half of 2025, with the hybrid supercar likely to appear on iconic roads such as Monaco.

Aston Martin Valhalla: Design
Aston Martin Valhalla’s design combines familiar elements with updated details. Its overall shape and nose are similar to Aston Martin’s front-engine models, but larger side cutouts and flared wheel arches give it a unique silhouette focused on aerodynamics and performance.
A notable feature is the retractable rear wing, located at the level of the roof scoop rather than the roofline.
Aston Martin Valhalla: interior
The interior of the Aston Martin Valhalla is designed for performance. It features one-piece carbon fiber seats and a carbon fiber steering wheel inspired by F1 racing cars. The seating position puts the driver’s feet at hip level, similar to a Formula 1 car, improving control and the driving experience.
The transmission tunnel is made from recycled forged carbon. The instrument panel features dual digital displays that provide key information in a simple layout. The design prioritizes performance and functionality within the Valhalla cabin.
Aston Martin Valhalla: Powertrain
The Aston Martin Valhalla is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 engine from Mercedes that produces 817 horsepower. Combined with three electric motors (two on the front axle and one integrated into the gearbox), total system output reaches 1064bhp and 1099Nm of torque. This setup enables the Valhalla to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 350 km/h.

The Valhalla uses an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox to send power to the rear wheels. It has no reverse gear, with the front electric motor handling reverse movement. These motors also aid in low-speed driving and improve fuel efficiency. In electric mode, Valhalla has a range of 14 kilometers.
