Aston Martin marked a significant milestone in its 112-year history as the Valhalla made its first public dynamic appearance ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix weekend. Piloted by two-time Formula One World Champion and Aston Martin Aramco Formula One team driver Fernando Alonso, the Valhalla showcased its performance credentials on the legendary Monte Carlo street circuit before the opening F1 practice sessions.
Having recently completed its final stages of road and track validation, the Valhalla moved beyond static displays to demonstrate its capabilities in real-time. Developed in close partnership with Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT)—the technical consulting arm of the Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team—the Valhalla benefits from cutting-edge expertise in aerodynamics, chassis dynamics, and lightweight materials.
The hybrid supercar, finished in AMR25 race car-inspired Podium Green with Lime Green accents, was driven through Monaco’s iconic sections including Casino Square and the Tunnel, underscoring its precision handling and striking design. Alonso, who played a pivotal role in the car’s development, pushed the vehicle to its limits in a display that emphasized its F1-derived performance technologies and emotional driving experience.
“Having worked closely with the Valhalla project over the past 18 months, it’s a proud moment to demonstrate the car’s dynamic potential at such a prestigious event,” said Alonso. “Valhalla blends Aston Martin’s luxury heritage with F1-inspired innovation and performance. It’s a true supercar—whether on the road or the racetrack.”
Adrian Hallmark, CEO of Aston Martin, added: “Valhalla’s unparalleled dynamic capabilities created new opportunities for both engineering and design. To see this realized in Monaco with Fernando behind the wheel is a landmark moment for the brand, highlighting our commitment to combining technical excellence with racing heritage.”
The Valhalla boasts 1,079 PS and 1,100 Nm from a hybrid powertrain that includes Aston Martin’s first 4.0-litre twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8—the highest-performing V8 ever used by the marque—paired with an 8-speed Dual Clutch Transmission featuring an e-Motor and electronic rear differential. Additional front-axle twin motors contribute to advanced torque vectoring and all-wheel drive.
As Aston Martin’s first series-production mid-engined supercar and its first plug-in hybrid with dedicated EV capability, Valhalla marks several technical firsts. Production will be limited to just 999 units, with customer deliveries beginning in the second half of 2025.
