Production of the Aston Martin Valkyrie Is Underway

Aston Martin's creations are known for their uniqueness, but they still adhere to certain standards we're used to. However, this is not the case with the brand's latest project, the Valkyrie supercar, production of which has just gotten underway.

In fact, this car is the result of a joint project between Aston Martin and the Red Bull Racing team. The model is inspired by Formula 1 racing. Introduced five years ago, it was named AM-RB 001 before getting the decidedly catchier name Valkyrie.

The project has been long and arduous, and the obstacles were numerous. Rumours that the automaker struggled to develop the car surfaced as early as August 2020. Some reports indicated that the Valkyrie was both unreliable and difficult to drive.

It must be said that the Valkyrie is not a "traditional" supercar. It's powered by a 6.5L V12 engine built by Cosworth, working in conjunction with a Rimac KERS hybrid system; total output is 1,140 hp.
