The Aston Martin Valkyrie takes its name after the Norse mythological figure, it is also known by its code-names: AM-RB 001 (‘AM’ stands for Aston Martin, and ‘RB’ stands for Red Bull) and ‘Nebula’ (an acronym for Newey, Red Bull and Aston Martin). It is a limited-edition hybrid hypercar collaboratively built by British automobile manufacturers Aston Martin, Red Bull Racing Advanced Technologies and Cosworth.

Powered by a mid-engine 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12, combined with an electric motor for instant torque, the Valkyrie produces a total output of 1140 bhp, with 1000 bhp coming from the V12 alone. Even more impressive is that the car’s structure doesn’t contain a single steel component, allowing it to weigh just 1,030 kg—an attribute more common in LMP1 or Formula One cars, but delivered here in a road-legal format with the Valkyrie.

Its exterior is highly aerodynamic, featuring an extensively open underfloor that operates on the principle of the Venturi effect, allowing it to produce 1,814 kg (4,000 lb) of downforce at high speeds. Gaps on the car’s surface, such as above the front axle and the roof intake, along with a large front splitter, contribute to generating downforce. The wheels are also designed to optimize airflow while being as lightweight as possible. The interior has no gauge cluster, but rather a collection of screens. By the left and right corners are the screens for the camera side mirrors. One screen sits at the top of the centre console. A screen is used on the race-inspired removable steering wheel and acts as the driver gauge cluster. Dials and switches sit beside the wheel screen to allow for easier changes without driving interruption. The carbon fibre seats are bucket variants and the first owner is given the choice of both race and conventional seat belts for each seat.
