THIS IS VALKYRIE! First Experience In Aston Martin V12 Hypercar!

[@D1vid3By0]

Shouts out to Cosworth for being some of the best engine designers on the planet.

[@ExactConsciousness]

Engineering masters.

[@ABC-dw7pe]

THE best

[@user-ht9fr6eh9u]

Sounds jarring

[@spill1t]

Definitely one of the best... I think Koenigsegg is proving to be quite the thorn in many of their sides because of their innovative approaches which pushes the envelope on what was previously thought possible. I feel he is pushing the others to new heights too as a result. Cosworth is being deployed in very interesting projects certainly. I wonder if CvK would have used them if he didn't opt to produce his own engines... The Gemera 3 cylinder is very interesting as an engineering showpiece.

WHAT. A. CAR. The noise coming out of that V12 is sensational! It's been so long since we've heard anything like that and so good to see a naturally aspirated engine still being produced. It's like the perfect final tribute for a NA V12 before everything goes fully electric. Go add it to your garage mate you know you want to!

[@tiagopiccoli2476]

Wow. This car is absolutely insane. That V12 is a dying breed that really makes you HEAR the craziness that you FEEL. But I have to disagree with you...for me the aerodynamics of this car is what sets it apart. It's absolutely unbelievable the amount of downforce this ROAD LEGAL car makes. For me, beauty comes from function so the fact that every tiny tiny detail on the body is used for an aerodynamic purpose is mesmerizing. I can look at it for days and find new bits that I'm sure a huge group of people spent numerous hours working on. Great video, thank you 👍

[@AutomotiveMike]

This car is full of adrenaline! Just an insane project

[@bluerider0988]

This is by far my favorite car ever. The styling and technology is amazing. Also being an Adrian fan I can't wait to see what it can do. I just wish they would hurry up and finish it. We have been waiting forever. I have been following this car since it's announcement and I feel like the excitement is fading because to much time has passed.

I mean I would argue that the T.50 is our generations F1 moment haha, but this is absolutely it's equivalent. What an amazing car, such an iconic design and incredible motor. You're partnership with AM is also so cool, looking forward to seeing the journey continue.

I would absolutely say the T50 is. The Valkyrie is neither proper race car nor road car. It's completely unsuitable for the road, just look at the view out the front window, its like looking out through a letterbox. It seems to exist for the sake of the numbers. I don't know... Maybe I just don't 'get it'.

I've just had a custom moulded seat made for my track car and it makes a massive difference. You feel part of the car and you hardly have to grip the steering wheel at all, it allows you to be much more delicate and feel every piece of feedback. I'm sure they will offer custom seats for the Valkyrie, they'd be crazy not to.

Interesting... I think there is so much boldness in the car community, it's really hard too stand out. I remember in the 90s and 2000s when we really struggled to see high performance cars.

I think the Valkyrie represents the very peak of the internal combustion era. I honestly don't think there will be a road legal naturally aspirated V12 car that will be faster or more extreme. There may be turbo/hybrid cars that may be faster, but they won't be as pure and brutal as the Valkyrie.

[@xevious2501]

The hypercars on this level began with the VISION series from Grand Turismo , including the Valkyrie itself of which originally indeed began with an Adrian Newy design called the X1 Prototype. The Vision GT and Vision 2030 The idea was to give automakers and their designers a chance to develop special cars with no constraints or limitations, to discover in simulation theory and possibly a real world execution of what is truly possible given no constraints or limitations in performance and design. There were about 3 iterations that led to the Valkyrie. which leapfrogged from the more extreme X1 design which was under red bull to a road going design which came to life under Aston Martin. but always under the creation of Adrian newy.
