Aston Martin’s Valhalla, the marque’s highly anticipated 1,065-horsepower plug-in hybrid supercar, has been put to the test in a dramatic new video showcasing its precision, power, and all-wheel drive agility. The footage, shared by Aston Martin on social media, captures the Valhalla executing controlled powerslides across an icy road, proving that the brand’s latest engineering marvel is just as capable in extreme conditions as it is on the track.
Dubbed the “baby Valkyrie”, the Valhalla represents Aston Martin’s first series-production hybrid supercar, blending high-performance combustion power with cutting-edge electrification. Beneath its carbon-fiber monocoque, the supercar houses a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine generating 817 horsepower, complemented by three electric motors that add another 248 horsepower, bringing the total output to a staggering 1,065 horsepower and 811 lb-ft of torque. The Valhalla’s performance figures are equally jaw-dropping: it rockets from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 217 mph, all while offering 8.6 miles of electric-only driving at speeds up to 80 mph.
Aston Martin’s latest clip highlights not just raw power but also the car’s dynamic handling, as it effortlessly maintains traction through controlled slides over the frozen surface. The 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, paired with an electronic rear differential and torque-vectoring capabilities, ensures optimal power distribution, making the Valhalla as agile as it is aggressive.
With the production version now revealed and its track-focused performance on display, the Valhalla solidifies Aston Martin’s commitment to pushing boundaries in hybrid supercar technology. As deliveries approach, enthusiasts can expect more thrilling demonstrations of this next-generation hypercar in action.
