The bluish British manufacturer's upcoming sports car will cost nearly $ 1 billion.
It has been a secret for a long time that Aston Martin and Red Bull Advanced Technologies are jointly developing a new generation sports car, which was simply referred to as AM-RB 001 for a long time, and it has long been known that its final name is Aston Martin Valkyrie . Now, three official photos have been released about the novelty for McLaren Speedtail and Mercedes-AMG One.
In just 150 copies, the Valkyri comes with a 6.5-liter V12 suction engine, which Cosworth, who developed it, recently posted on Twitter as the world's strongest turbocharged or uncompressed engine with 1,145 horsepower. The truth is that this performance is believed to be known by the technology-assisted KERS system from F1, but even in this case the petrol engine itself is about 1,000 hp.
For Valkyrie with a list price of about 910 million forints, developers have previously mentioned a top speed of 400 km / h, but perhaps even more interesting that the car will be able to accelerate to a speed of 320 km / h in less than 10 seconds.
Designed by Adrien Newey, a vehicle weighing only 1,030 kilograms, traditionally offers a huge clamping force without a large rear wing, which is supposed to allow up to 4.5 Gs of side acceleration in bends. By comparison, McLaren P1 is "only" 2G in this respect.
