Aston Martin Valkyrie To Fight For Overall Victory At Le Mans Starting In 2025

Unlike most racecars based on road cars, Aston Martin will have to de-tune its Valkyrie pretty significantly in order to prepare it for competition at Le Mans

Although it looks like a racecar for the road, and was designed to meet World Endurance Championship Hypercar regulations, the Aston Martin Valkyrie had no solid plans to compete in motorsports. Not until now. The automaker announced that with the help of Heart of Racing, it will enter at least one Valkyrie into competition in the top class of racing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Rolex 24 at Daytona, and the 12 Hours of Sebring starting in 2025.

The automaker confirmed that the racecar will continue to use the customer car's 6.5-liter Cosworth V12, but it will have to be de-tuned significantly. The naturally-aspirated engine that's mated to an electric motor can rev to 11,000 RPM and develops over 1,000 hp , but sporting regulations limit the racecar's output to just 671 hp .
