Aston Martin Valhalla 2025 - Completes Final Testing Ahead Of Launch!
Aston Martin Valhalla with Podium-Green and Lime-Green Livery.
Aston Martin is back, and this time, they didn’t just raise the bar — they flung it into another dimension. Meet the Valhalla, the marque’s most ferociously futuristic creation yet. This isn’t just a supercar — it’s Aston’s answer to the question: “What if James Bond was also Iron Man?”
The Aston Martin Valhalla took to the road in the United Kingdom and was on the track at the IDIADA Proving Ground in Spain as it completed the final validation sign-off before the launch and the beginning of production in 2025.
Aston Martin development driver and three-time Le Mans class winner Darren Turner drove the car on track. Turner’s wins with Aston Martin came in 2007,2008 and 2017 in Le Mans all with Aston Martin. Turner also tested for McLaren and Jordan F1 teams and is now a high-performance test driver for Aston Martin.
The Valhalla pictured here is sporting the iconic Podium-Green and Lime-Green livery and has been put through its paces in Spain on the high speed, wet and dry circuits and is currently undergoing final calibration sign-off for steering and active aerodynamics, as well as thermal braking system performance.
Another livery spotted on the Valhalla is a Satin Scintilla Silver with a Lime Green livery. That particular model is undergoing its final damper calibration in the UK.

What’s Under The Hood?
Under that slick bodywork lives a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, sourced and perfected from AMG, backed up by two electric motors. Combined, they throw out a retina-detaching 998 horsepower. That’s right — not 1000, because the Valhalla doesn’t follow your rules.
0–62mph? 2.5 seconds. Top speed? 217mph. Fuel economy? Irrelevant. You don’t buy a Valhalla to save the planet — you buy it to make your soul scream with joy.
This isn’t your Prius’s hybrid system. The Valhalla uses its electric motors to torque-fill, punch harder out of corners, and yes — whisper around the city silently if you’re feeling polite. But really, it's there to make sure every millisecond on the throttle hits like a knockout punch from Thor.
Let’s Take A Look Inside!
Interior of the new Aston Martin Valhalla
The Valhalla looks like it was carved by the wind and sketched by a Marvel concept artist. Everything on this car serves a purpose — whether it’s the dihedral doors, the shapeshifting rear wing, or the sculpted intakes that could probably vacuum your driveway.
Inside? It's all business. Carbon-everything. Driver-focused. No frills. No distractions. Just you, the wheel, and the occasional existential crisis when you realise you’re piloting nearly 1,000 horses with your right foot.
The innovative Aston Martin HMI system provides an ultra-clear, column-mounted driver-centric display of information essential to road and track use. Features include a Race mode layout with a large linear tachometer and shift lights informed by Aston Martin Aramco Formula One.
The Amphitheatre line is a key feature of Aston Martin’s new interior design language, wrapping around the cabin, cosseting the driver and passenger with a cockpit feel. A carbon brace runs the width of the cabin, on top of which floats the Instrument Panel.

Born In Formula One, Bred For The Road!
The Valhalla isn’t just inspired by F1 tech — it’s practically wearing a race suit. Co-developed with the Aramco Aston Martin F1 team and fine-tuned by Aston Martin’s F1 boffins, the Valhalla uses active aerodynamics, push-rod suspension, and a carbon-fibre monocoque straight out of the pit lane.
Oh, and it laps the Nürburgring in under 6 minutes 30 — JUST SAYING!

DRFT’s 3 and 3! ✅❌
Now we move on to the best part of the article. My opinion. It isn’t quite my opinion these are three things we like about the new Valhalla and three things we just do not get along with.
3 things we like! ✅
✅ - Formula 1 DNA The Valhalla isn’t just inspired by F1 — it borrows the homework. From active aero to push-rod suspension, it’s like Aston Martin stole the tech sheet from their F1 garage and gave it a license plate.
✅ - Blistering Performance 998 horsepower. Sub-2.5 second 0–62. Nürburgring lap time is under 6:30. It’s a track weapon in a tuxedo.
✅ - Futuristic Design Every inch is sculpted for speed, but it still oozes Aston Martin elegance. Those dihedral doors alone are worth a standing ovation.
3 Things that just bug us! ❌
❌ - Price Tag? Ouch. The Valhalla is set to launch at £850,000. So I hope you’ve saved up enough pennies so you can get yourselves one of these.
❌ - Sound Issues! The exhaust has been described as muted and overpowered by the turbos, thus the car to lose its character. So it may look like it carries 1000 horses, but it might not sound like it.
❌ - Limited Practicality Storage space is virtually nonexistent, and comfort takes a backseat (well, there is no backseat). It’s a hypercar — but don’t expect it to carry more than your ego and a helmet. But if someone buys the Valhalla for its practicality, maybe to fit in a car seat, you may need to have a word with them!
So, what do you think of the new Aston Martin Valhalla? Are you thinking, “I love it, I need it, get me that car!” or are you thinking more along the lines of “Where can I fit my car seat?!” Either way, let us know in the comments below and follow our socials for more!
