Driver Fernando Alonso tested his Aston Martin Valkyrie with 1,155 hp at the Motorland circuit in Spain, recording lap times comparable to those of a Formula 1 car.
The experience, captured by drones and onboard cameras, highlights both the two-time world champion’s skill and the performance of the hypercar, designed by renowned engineer Adrian Newey.
The vehicle features a 6.5-liter hybrid V12 engine developed by Cosworth, capable of reaching 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and achieving a top speed of 400 km/h.
With a reduced weight of 1,270 kg, the Valkyrie was designed to deliver performance close to that of F1 cars, and Alonso confirmed this promise with his driving. Although the exact lap times were not disclosed, sources indicate that he exceeded expectations.
In addition to its power and refined aerodynamics, the hypercar stands out for its exclusive manufacturing process, with each of the 150 units being assembled manually in approximately 2,000 hours of work.
Alonso customized his Valkyrie with the iconic Aston Martin Racing Green color, used by his Formula 1 team, along with red and blue details on the pedals, referencing his motorsport journey.
The model’s price has not been disclosed, but it is estimated that buyers would need to invest around $2.60 million to acquire this exclusive machine.
