Aston Martin marked a historic chapter in its 112-year legacy with the first public dynamic appearance of its cutting-edge Valhalla supercar, which took to the streets of Monte Carlo ahead of the Monaco Formula One Grand Prix weekend.
Driven by two-time Formula One World Champion and Aston Martin Aramco Formula One team driver Fernando Alonso, the Valhalla completed its maiden high-speed showcase in public just before the F1 practice session. This follows the completion of final validation testing on both track and road surfaces, cementing its readiness as a road-legal performance machine.
Until now, Valhalla had only been displayed as a static showpiece. The debut in Monaco offered a first glimpse of the supercar in motion, revealing the seamless integration of Formula 1-inspired technology, precision aerodynamics, and motorsport-grade materials. Developed through a close partnership with Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT), the Valhalla reflects the engineering DNA of the brand’s F1 operations, delivering exceptional handling, agility and visual drama.
Clad in a striking Podium Green livery with Lime Green accents—a nod to the AMR25 F1 race car—the Valhalla thundered through the principality’s iconic landmarks, from the twisting streets of Casino Square to the high-speed Tunnel. At the helm was Alonso, Aston Martin’s principal development driver for the model, who has worked alongside engineers for the past 18 months to fine-tune its capabilities.
Alonso, instrumental in the car’s development, affirmed Valhalla’s status as a true supercar. He underscored its balance of luxurious refinement and raw, race-inspired performance, stating it delivers an immersive driving experience both on the road and circuit.
The Valhalla represents multiple technological firsts for the marque. It is Aston Martin’s inaugural series-production mid-engined supercar, the brand’s first plug-in hybrid, and its first vehicle equipped with a dedicated electric driving mode. Its hybrid system delivers a combined output of 1,079PS and 1,100Nm of torque.
Central to its powertrain is a bespoke 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft—Aston Martin’s most powerful V8 to date. This is paired with a new 8-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) featuring an integrated electric motor and an electronic rear differential (E-diff). Additionally, the front axle is equipped with twin electric motors, enabling torque vectoring and forming part of an advanced all-wheel drive system.
Limited to just 999 units, deliveries of the Aston Martin Valhalla are scheduled to begin in the second half of 2025.
