Formula 1 legend Fernando Alonso is among the privileged few to own the Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar. The two-time F1 world champion, who currently races for the Aston Martin F1 team, received his bespoke Valkyrie in Monaco and wasted no time taking it for a drive around the principality.
Alonso’s Valkyrie features a personalized design created in collaboration with Aston Martin’s Q personalization department. The hypercar’s exterior draws inspiration from his F1 car, featuring accent stripes in red, blue, and Aston Martin’s Lime yellow on the underbody, along with a “CAUTION HOT” script at the rear. Inside, black Alcantara lines the cabin, and Alonso’s logo is stitched into the headrests. One of the most unique touches is a red anodized aluminum accelerator pedal, engraved with the number 14, which Alonso has worn throughout his career, including his karting world championship win in 1996 at age 14.

The Valkyrie, like all models in the series, is powered by a 6.5-liter V-12 engine paired with a mild-hybrid system, producing an astonishing 1,139 horsepower. This allows the hypercar to accelerate from 0-60 mph in under 2.5 seconds. Production is limited to 150 units, with additional variants including 85 Valkyrie Spider convertibles and 40 track-only Valkyrie AMR Pros.
Alonso’s love for exclusive Aston Martin vehicles doesn’t stop with the Valkyrie. In June, he added another track-focused machine, the Valiant, to his impressive collection.
