Valhalla debuts publicly

Aston Martin has put the Valhalla in the spotlight — a $1.14M, 1,064‑hp plug‑in hybrid that pairs a three‑motor hybrid system with a twin‑turbo V8 and even forgoes a traditional reverse gear, using electric drive instead. Early media drives praise its ferocious performance plus unexpectedly usable day‑to‑day manners, with reviewers calling it more ‘normie‑friendly’ than Aston’s Valkyrie.

Aston Martin confirmed Valhalla will be limited to 999 production examples and told the press that series production was scheduled to begin in Q2 2025. (media.astonmartin.com) Company filings and investor commentary show Valhalla deliveries began in October 2025 as Aston Martin sought to steer Q4 revenue recovery. (directorstalkinterviews.com) Bloomberg reported that, as of its March 29, 2026 piece, 152 of the 999 cars had been delivered and the company expected about 500 more to be delivered during 2026, and cited CEO Adrian Hallmark saying roughly 70% of buyers are first‑time Aston customers. (bloomberg.com) Aston Martin and reviewers note the car’s aero package — developed with Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT) — produces roughly 600 kg of downforce at high speed while the company claims a 217 mph top speed and 0–62 mph in about 2.5 seconds. (topgear.com) Published measurements list a dry weight near 1,665 kg and a 6.1 kWh battery that gives an EV‑only range of about 14 km (≈8.7 miles), marking Aston’s first production model with dedicated all‑electric driving capability. (topgear.com) Aston Martin staged Valhalla’s high‑profile dynamic public debut in Monaco with two‑time F1 champion Fernando Alonso at the wheel, and the company says Alonso and AMPT worked closely with the development team on dynamics, aerodynamics and materials.
