Aston Martin is currently putting its upcoming supercar, the Valhalla, through its paces in the United States. On one of the test runs, the prototype was driving through Utah when it was caught speeding.
The Aston Martin Valhalla was travelling on I-70 when it was pulled over by deputies of the Emery County Sheriff’s Office near Green River, Utah. The cops said that the Aston Martin was “burning up the road” through the county.
The driver told the cops that he was testing and adjusting the vehicle. Luckily, he was let off with just a slap on the wrist.
Note that this is the first production Valhalla that was revealed at Bicester Motion in April this year. The car is finished in silver and exposed carbon with blue accents. There’s also a blue stripe running along the centre, while the interior is wrapped in blue Alcantara.
The Vahalla is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 paired with three electric motors. It produces a combined output of 1065 hp and 811 lb-ft of torque and is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic.

It’s making us laugh how far fetched this is becoming. We have dsta that shows there was no reckless burning up of the road, the testing was steady going. The Deputies basically wanted a closer look at a car that they’ll never see again. Just a shame they decided to post over a week later with gratuitous language.
