Full-on 6.5L V-12. No turbos, no hybrid. Full time on both continents from day one in 2025. This is almost certainly the last V-12 race car that matters any time soon.
The Aston Martin Valkyrie currently exists as both a limit-breaking road car and an even more absurd track car, but Aston Martin's Adrian Newey-penned hypercar lineup has been incomplete until now. The Valkyrie was also planned as a race car, one that could compete at the very top level of sports car racing and fight to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans overall. Those dreams were shelved all the way back in 2020. That was the plan, but plans change, sometimes for the better.
While all of the cars currently run by major auto manufacturers in the current Hypercar class are hybrids and the Valkyrie road car is a hybrid itself, the racing variant of the car will follow in the footsteps of the Valkyrie AMR Pro track car and forego any sort of electrical assistance. More importantly, it will also pack the naturally-aspirated V-12 from the road car.
