Aston Martin showed the extreme track Valkyrie AMR Pro, which is the new version of its Valkyrie hypercar. It became noticeably larger than the usual Valkyrie and lost its electric motor. Yet in return, it received unusual aerodynamic equipment. The manufacturer assures that on the race track, the new car will not lose to Le Mans and Formula-1 cars.

Compared to the regular Aston Martin Valkyrie, the wheelbase of the hypercar is 380 millimeters longer, and the track is increased by 96 millimeters at the front and 115 millimeters at the rear. Another 266 millimeters were added by a new aerodynamic package, a distinctive feature of which is a giant wing directed towards the surface.

In addition to the wing, the hypercar was equipped with a redesigned front end and other wheel arches and conventional side mirrors instead of video cameras. Thanks to these innovations, the Valkyrie AMR Pro's downforce is said to be more than doubled compared to the road version. Its characteristics even exceed the requirements for the 24 Hours of Le Mans sports prototypes.

New Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro Specifications

The powerplant of the Valkyrie AMR Pro consists only of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 developed by Cosworth. In a previous version, this engine was combined with an electric motor, but the electrical component has been abandoned for the sake of weight reduction. Thus, the hypercar can develop 1,000 hp instead of 1,200 hp. In addition, the Valkyrie was lightened due to the more active use of carbon fiber reinforced plastics, including chassis parts. For example, some suspension arms, are made of it.

Aston Martin does not name the dynamic characteristics of the hypercar but assures that it will cover the classic Le Mans track in about 3 minutes and 20 seconds, which is the level of the top sports prototypes. The experience of driving the Valkyrie AMR Pro on the track will be close to the experience of driving a Formula-1 race car.

The company plans on assembling only 40 of these machines and, despite their British origin, all of them will be left-hand drive. Deliveries of track hypercars will begin in the fourth quarter of this year. Prices have not yet been announced.
