Aston Martin will join the top class of WEC and IMSA in 2025 with the Valkyrie hypercar
Aston Martin will return to Le Mans in 2025, and it’s going to use a prototype version of its Valkyrie hypercar to do it. When it hits the track, it’ll be the first hypercar with a road car counterpart to compete within the current rules. Everyone else, from Toyota to Porsche, doesn’t have a road going version of the car they use for racing.
Like many other hypercar programs, Aston Martin’s Valkyrie entry will be a joint project between the Gaydon company and its racing partner Heart of Racing .The Valkyrie AMR Pro was originally designed to meet the new LMH hypercar regulations, and now Aston Martin Performance Technologies will begin to turn that product into something that fits within the aero and power performance window allowed by the rules. Homologation will occur before it’s able to compete in the WEC and IMSA series in 2025.
Aero performance will be challenging to reduce, particularly as the road car is almost exclusively designed for aerodynamic efficiency – it’s an Adrian Newey-penned car after all.
