Aston Martin is returning to the top class of endurance racing with its Valkyrie hypercar. As regulations restrict the Le Mans race car to 680 hp, the Valkyrie AMR Pro is still one of the ultimate track toys money can buy.
Aston Martin recently let the Valkyrie AMR Pro lose at the Paul Ricard circuit in the south of France. The following video provides an onboard view as the car darts around the twisty race tracks.
The Valkyrie AMR Pro is powered by the same 6.5-liter V12 engine as the road version, except that it misses out on the hybrid system. It puts out 1000 hp and 546 lb-ft of torque. Crucially, the car weighs just 1006 kg, which makes it an absolute hoot to drive around a racetrack.
Only 40 examples of the AMR Pro were built.
I’m commenting for a college course where we need to leave a ‘suggestion’ on a blog we enjoy reading. Hopefully, you have time to reply.
If you could add vehicle prices (base price, market value, resale value) to each blog post, in addition to the engine specs and performance, it would add context and make the posts even more engaging. It’s usually the next question people have, even if we can’t afford it.
