 2016 Aston Martin Valkyrie
From 2019 it will be at the disposal for the road for 150 proud owners and also trips on the circuit. 25 additional are provided for 'tracks', whatever it means.
The 'V' in the name continues with Aston Martin's tradition of high-performance variants, since a long time in the model 'Vantage'. 'Valkyrie' comes from the
Nordic mythology, according to wikipedia 'a female spirit entity from the entourage of the godfather Odin (Wodan) '.

From many vehicles have already been claimed to be close to Formula One, but this one is probably the closest. The two fathers are the F1-
designer Adrian Newey and Marek Reichman, chief designer of Aston Martin. Basically, a complete body has been pulled above an F1 design. If you look just a little below the belt line, it's almost all open.
It is a collaboration between Aston Martin, Red Bull Advanced Technologies, Project partner AF Racing, Bosch (Motronic, transmission control, ESP), Recardo (transmission), Rimac (battery), Cosworth (Motor tuning),
Michelin (Pilot Sport Cup 2). The car is driven electrically in the first and reverse gear. The price is probably based on that of the Bugatti Veyron. 06/17
