Overview

The Aston Martin Valhalla mid-engine hybrid supercar has been in the making for a long time. First teased as the 003 back in 2019, the Valhalla—as it is now known—is finally slated to go into production in mid-2025. As with the outrageous Aston Martin Valkyrie, the Valhalla is a race car for the road, drawing inspiration from Formula 1 and utilizing lightweight materials and active aerodynamics. The Aston's exterior boasts an exaggerated version of the company's trademark grille along with slippery bodywork. Its central tub is composed of carbon fiber, and the Valhalla's exotic nature will be accentuated by dihedral doors. Power comes from a twin-turbo V-8 sourced from Mercedes-AMG—Aston's Formula 1 engine supplier—mated to a plug-in-hybrid system that generates a combined 1064 horsepower. The gas engine feeds power to the rear tires, while the front tires are powered by a pair of electric motors. Aston estimates a top speed of 217 mph and a 2.5-second leap to 62 mph. We think the latter number is extremely conservative given the launch advantages of the all-wheel-drive powertrain. The Valhalla will also have an EV mode, which Aston Martin claims is good for around nine miles of all-electric range.

What's New for 2026?

After years of wondering when the Aston Martin Valhalla would be seen on ritzy boulevards and famous racetracks, we finally have an answer: It'll be 2025 as a 2026 model. Deliveries should start in the second half of 2025.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The Valhalla will be motivated by a massively powerful plug-in-hybrid powertrain. At its core will be a Mercedes-AMG–sourced twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 with a flat-plane crank. It'll feed the rear wheels through Aston Martin's first-ever eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and apportion torque via an electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential. Additionally, two electric motors will power the front wheels and a third will be integrated into the transmission. Aston pegs the Valhalla's combined output at 1064 horsepower. Reversing is handled electrically. The company will use lightweight carbon fiber for the car's core structure. The Valhalla also features F1-style pushrod front and multi-link rear suspensions with adaptive dampers; carbon-ceramic brakes will be standard. Active aerodynamics will be a major feature of the Valhalla, with movable front and rear wings that adjust to balance downforce and drag, maximize grip, and improve braking performance. We can only assume that Valhalla's eye-popping design will be complemented by out-of-this-world handling.
