This do-it-all hypercar continues to develop—and to develop wilder performance.
, subsequently dubbed"Valhalla" and originally slated to begin arriving in customers' garages in the second half of 2023. The company has now pushed that timeline into the second half of 2024 as it continues to finalize the mid-engine monster. In an exclusive chat with, product development director Carlo Della Casa revealed other updates to the car, which the company expects will deliver track-blitzing performance and daily drivability.
The gearbox is a bespoke eight-speed unit from well-known supercar supplier Graziano, and it will hold the distinction of being the first dual-clutch transmission installed in a production Aston Martin. Its software is being tuned in-house by Aston to, as Della Casa described, deliver the best driving experience when it comes to the"experience and connection between the between hybrid system, transmission, and engine.
"It's a number we are investigating; could be more, could be less depending on the last bits of design we are doing, particularly for the front," he said.On paper, the above bona fides make the Valhalla driving experience a"no s***, Sherlock" proposition in the context of outright performance, but Della Casa wanted to make it clear Aston Martin doesn't intend for it to be a driver-punishing race car that just so happens to qualify for a license plate.
"There are supersport cars or hypercars; we are pitching a new segment that is both, a middle way—and not as a compromise," Della Casa said."You can drive very comfortably but can immediately turn the car into a 'race car' by lowering [the adaptive suspension] and having [lots of] downforce. It's a supercar with hypercar levels of performance. Drivers must really be engaged, even at low speed.
