 Aston Martin Valkyrie

The Aston Martin Valkyrie (also known by its code-names as AM-RB 001 and Nebula) is

a limited production hybrid sports car collaboratively built by British automobile
manufacturers Aston Martin, Red Bull Racing Advanced Technologies and several others.
The sports car is a product of collaboration between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing to
develop a track-oriented car entirely usable and enjoyable as a road car, conceived by Adrian
Newey, Dr Andy Palmer, Christian Horner and Simon Spoule. The car's makers claim the
title of fastest street-legal car in the world for it. [9] Adrian Newey,[10] Red Bull Racing's Chief
Technical Officer and the world's most successful F1 designer aided in the design of the car.
Its main competitors are the Mercedes-AMG ONE and the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50.
The start of the 2019 Formula One British Grand Prix, the car made a lap of the Silverstone
circuit for the first time.
Aston Martin also announced a spider variant; only 85 will be produced. Production is
expected to begin in 2023 for the spider variant.

Specifications
In February 2017, Aston Martin revealed most of the vehicle's specifications. The final
specifications were revealed later in the year.
Several manufacturers (other than Aston Martin and Red Bull) have taken part in the
Valkyrie's construction, those being Cosworth, Ricardo, Rimac Automobili, Multimatic,
Alcon, Integral Powertrain Ltd, Bosch, Surface Transforms, Wipac, HPL Prototypes
and Michelin.
The car contains a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 engine tailored by Cosworth, which
produces around 1,000 hp (746 kW; 1,014 PS) at 10,500 rpm, with a redline of 11,100 rpm.
This will make it the most powerful naturally-aspirated engine ever to be fitted to a
production road car, as well as the highest-revving. With a KERS-style boost system akin to
those fitted to F1 cars, the Aston Martin Valkyrie’s hybrid system has been developed by two
main technical partners; Integral Powertrain Ltd, who supplied the bespoke electric motor,
and Rimac for the lightweight hybrid battery system.
As a result, the full hybrid system contributes an additional 160 bhp of power and a further
280 N⋅m of available torque with the certified max power output of Aston Martin Valkyrie
standing at 1,160 hp (865 kW; 1,176 PS) @ 10,500rpm. Equally, with the full hybrid system,
peak torque will stand at 900 N⋅m (664 lbf⋅ft) @ 6,000 rpm
At the same time the power output figures were released, the weight was announced to be
1,030 kg (2,271 lb), surpassing the intended 1:1 power-to-weight ratio with 1,126 hp
(840 kW; 1,142 PS) per ton. The car can accelerate to 60 mph (97 km/h) from a standstill in a
time of 2.6 seconds.
The exhausts exit at the top of the car, near the engine, similar to those of Formula One
cars and the Porsche 918 Spyder.
Bosch supplies the Valkyrie's ECU unit, traction control system, and ESP. The braking
system is provided by Alcon and Surface Transforms. The front and rear lights are
manufactured by Wipac. The car has all-carbon fibre bodywork and is installed with a carbon
fibre Monocell from manufacturer Multimatic. Michelin supplies the Valkyrie with the
company's high-performance Sport Cup 2 tyres, having sizes of 265/35-ZR20 at the front and
325/30-ZR21 at the rear. The wheels are constructed out of lightweight magnesium alloy (20"
front, 21" rear) with race-spec centre-lock wheel nuts to reduce mass. In 2020, after Red Bull
Racing's Red Bull Racing RB16 had its first shakedown in Silverstone Circuit, drivers Max
Verstappen and Alexander Albon drove the car around the track.
