Top speed is probably only academic in a high-downforce track car, but AML stated 225mph with others suggesting 250. Of far greater benefit to lap time is the track-only Valkyrie’s ability to achieve lateral acceleration in excess of 3G – a figure far beyond that of any other car derived from a fully homologated road car. 

The inspiration behind the Valkyrie AMR Pro is Adrian Newey, Chief Technical Officer of Aston Martin Red Bull Racing together with Aston Martin’s most talented design and engineering teams, led by Marek Reichman – Aston Martin’s Chief Creative Officer – and David King – Chief Special Operations Officer.

The planned production of 25 cars was already sold out by the time the concept was publicly shown, even at a suggested price in excess of £3,000,000. Delivery was anticipated to be during 2020 but this has been probably affected by the global pandemic as much as any other factors.
