With its 1,065hp V8-hybrid
The first series-production, mid-engined Aston Martin supercar is finally here. It’s the first to bear a battery and electric motors, and the first to use a flat-plane-crank V8 with an EV range of 14.5km. It’s also the first to be made in honor of Mad Max: Fury Road. That last one may not be factually correct, but three out of four ain’t bad.
It’s a fancy V8, too. The Valhalla’s turbos deliver 20% more air per hour than those on the DBX707, with the ignition constantly alternating between both banks for better combustion. Plus there are new cams and manifolds. On its own, this eight-cylinder is very loosely derived from the engine in the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series that produces 817hp.
Speaking of F1, the front suspension gets a pushrod style setup with inboard springs and dampers, while the rear is treated to a five-link system. Said adaptive dampers come via Bilstein. Oh, and the brakes? It’s quite mighty, too—it gets carbon-ceramics as standard, with 410mm discs on six-pot calipers up front and 390mm on four-pots on the back. The entire setup is “engineered for the rigors of track use and finessed for the nuanced demands of road driving.
The body is mostly made of carbon fiber, there are forward-opening dihedral doors for additional supercar drama, a distinct lack of “visible scoops and intakes,” a very distinct amount of visible rear venturi tunnels, and that retractable rear spoiler. Along with a roof snorkel, which was again, pinched from F1 to ram air into the engine and cooling system.
