At long last Aston’s £2.5 million F1 car for the road has landed. But is it any good? To find out, we bolted Chris Harris into the 1,160bhp skeletal hypercar and sent him around the Bahrain F1 track.

    I like the no-nonsense production of this one. Straight in the car with no quasi-poetic hyperbole for build-up, real-time driving impressions, a direct comparison between the two, bosh. No excess fat. If you could also upload a 30min video of just the engine sounds and nothing else as a bonus, I'd much appreciate that too!!

    The greatest thing about the Valkyrie is its engine. At a time when pretty much every other supercar-maker has transitioned to small, turbocharged engines, Aston Martin goes with a 6.5 liter, naturally aspirated V12. And it revs to 11,100 rpm. God bless them. I honestly can't believe this engine even exists from an engineering perspective - a road legal engine that revs to 11,000 rpm is insane. It would be insane if they achieved that with a 4 or 6 cylinder engine, but getting 11,000 rpm - 185 rotations of the crankshaft every SECOND - from a 6.5 liter V12 with a warranty? That's miraculous.

    Holy Crap, I knew the AMR Pro was different, but at 7:57 seeing them side by side on track, that thing looks MASSIVELY different, and just massive in general. Holy does that body and those wings make that thing look giant. At any rate, the "Base" Valkyrie is pure madness on wheels, and the fact they looked at what they built and thought, "Hmm, we could make this crazier" absolutely blows my mind. The Fact that the brand known for Luxury GTs beat Hypercar makers at their own game cracks me up; even the folks at Koenigsegg and on the AMG ONE project gotta be looking at this and worrying

    That's why I admire AMG they came out straight up and said the One is 1695kg wet infact in most reviews that was the first thing they said just to get it out of the way I think this would be about 1,500kg though I think it needs a lot of fluids for that v12 to run in such a compact bodywork and the laferrari is still a funny story even after it's been weighed several times at 1575kg they keep saying it's 1,250kg 😂 even the p1 was heavier than what McLaren stated but not by much but Ferrari were so off that it's funny but AMG and Porsche are always spot on with their weight figures

Everyone involved in this project is genuinely put their heart and soul to make these masterpieces. I think the Valkyrie should never be on the streets, because that would be a waste of engineering just to cruise on the public roads. That engine is made to screaming, not to sleep on the streets at 15 miles per hour

    @@callmeshaggy5166 it’s the fan car concept that makes it that fast. You have maximum downforce at a standstill. Over 2Gs available at any speed means that you can accelerate at full throttle at any time and have maximum traction despite being RWD (McMurty is RWD) Remember tho, the T.50 is ALSO a fan car, so it will be interesting to see how it stacks up. There’s a chance it might keep up or even beat the Valkyrie depending on how hard that fan works.

Thought nothing could sound better after the Vulcan did a full throttle drive-by ... but then half a lap later the Valkyrie flew by ..... and all was forgotten ~ (Incidentally, the Zonda ZoZo was also running there on the same day - And I *HAD* always thought Zondas' V12s sounded nice ...)
