Aston Martin Valhalla set to enter production in 2024
28 Sep 2023|230 views
Aston Martin has announced that its Valhalla mid-engined supercar is now set to enter production in 2024 after the first running prototype takes to the road come late 2023.
The firm states that development of the car is being assisted thanks to the technical crossover between Aston Martin and its eponymous Formula One team, assisted by Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT), the consulting arm of the team. This crossover is said to have benefitted three key areas of development of the Valhalla: Dynamics, aerodynamics and materials.
In the field of dynamics, AMPT is said to be working to pinpoint dynamics of the Valhalla. 90% of the dynamic characteristics and vehicle setup is said to have been completed via simulation tools used in Formula One design. The final development phase of the Valhalla is set to be completed in the real world, on the road and track. The cockpit ergonomics of the Valhalla have also been optimised with support from AMPT to maximise the pleasure of driving.
The Valhalla's aerodynamics are also said to have been developed by aerodynamicists from both AMPT and Aston Martin. The Valhalla is said to adopt a similar approach as a Formula One car here, utilising all elements of its body to generate downforce and minimise drag. Not being restricted by Formula One regulations, however, allows the Valhalla to generate a total of 600kg of downforce at 240km/h.
Finally, the car has benefitted from what is described as an exquisite blend of carbon fibre materials, giving it a stiff, strong, and light passenger cell for high safety and handling, without compromising driver and passenger ergonomics.
The Aston Martin Valhalla is set to get a bespoke twin-turbo flat-plane V8 engine, described as the most advanced, responsive and highest-performing V8 engine the firm has yet utilised. This engine will come combined with three electric motors allowing it to deliver a total output of close to 1,000bhp.
