The Aston Martin Valkyrie will be joining us at this year’s Concours of Elegance. One of the most ambitious road cars ever conceived, the Valkyrie was born from a collaboration between Aston Martin, Red Bull Advanced Technologies and Adrian Newey, with one uncompromising goal: to bring Formula One technology to the road. This example is one of just 80 Valkyrie Spiders, combining a naturally aspirated, Cosworth-built 6.5-litre V12 capable of revving beyond 11,000rpm with a hybrid system, lightweight carbon-fibre construction and highly advanced aerodynamics. From its removable carbon-fibre roof panels and Apache helicopter-derived hydraulic system to its near-structural carbon-fibre windscreen wiper and the world’s smallest legally allowable taillight, virtually every detail demonstrates the lengths taken in the pursuit of ultimate engineering purity. We’re delighted to welcome this remarkable machine to Hampton Court Palace for the Concours of Elegance.
