Valhalla’s beauty is more than skin-deep. For example, a tenfold efficiency increase has been achieved in a simplified design for the front clamshell assembly. Originally comprised of 20 separate components made from a mix of aluminium and carbon fibre, the production assembly is made from just two individual carbon fibre pieces and is 7kg lighter than the original design. The carbon fibre body is available either painted or as exposed carbon. Customers have the option to tailor Valhalla’s exterior with a choice of upper or lower pack to add visual carbon fibre. In addition, all exterior carbon panels can be specified in a choice of gloss or satin lacquer and specified with a choice of red, blue or green tint – or even optioned in a choice of six bespoke livery themes inspired by Aston Martin’s motorsport heritage. A choice of two designs of wheel gives scope for further personalisation. A forged aluminium wheel is available in three finishes; liquid titanium, textured black matte, satin black/ diamond turned and is fitted with bespoke AML coded 285/30 ZR20 front and 335/35 ZR21 rear Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tyres. Interior Design Formula One ® influences found in the extreme Valkyrie hypercar also inform Valhalla’s cockpit, with clean, reductive design creating an environment to immerse both driver and passenger in an intense and unforgettable supercar experience. Foremost amongst them are raised footwells for a low hip-to-heel seating position and lightweight, one-piece carbon fibre seats for maximum support. The seating position amplifies the driver’s sense of connection without compromising comfort. The steering wheel shape has too been inspired by F1 ® and features a one-piece carbon fibre armature. The Amphitheatre line is a key feature of Aston Martin’s new interior design language, wrapping around the cabin, cosseting the driver and passenger with a cockpit feel. A carbon brace runs the width of the cabin, on top of which floats the Instrument Panel. Each component is designed to enhance the driving experience of Valhalla, while maintaining the high levels of craftsmanship and excellence that customers are familiar with fromAston Martin’s core GT products. The innovative Aston Martin HMI system provides an ultra-clear, column mounted driver centric display of information essential to road and track use. Features include a Race mode layout with a large linear tachometer and shift lights informed by Aston Martin Aramco Formula One ® Team drivers at their Silverstone Headquarters. During road driving the display also features an expanded view function, such as full-screen navigation map, for added ease of use.
