6.5L Cosworth V12 making 1000hp @ 10,500rpm w/11,100 redline and this is all before the hybrid powertrain is included. The car only weighs like 2300lbs as well. It's going to be untouched for some time when it hits next year.
Aston Martin's Valkyrie is going to be incredible!

Looks affordable!
Just a cool 3.3mil, but no bother because they are already bought up!
If anyone has ever played Gran Turismo and driven the Redbull X1, I think this is about the closest thing we will see to that sort of concept yet.
Here is a recent video of the engine too if you are bored:
Can’t wait to read up on this one. Thatsalottarpm!!!
I was reading about it last night, the engine only weighs like 450lbs and it's a structural piece.
They could have made it lighter, but the cam gears would have been right behind your head and I guess they aren't exactly quiet. So they got moved to the back at the cost of 15lbs.

That is amazing. Cosworth has always been one of the coolest engineering firms to me. The work they have done over the decades is incredible. I can't wait to see what they do for TVR's new Coyote engines they are using too. Thanks for sharing that!
It's McLaren's chief that is bringing them back right? I think that is why it is finally being taken seriously now and TVR's should finally have some decent quality lol.
I just watched a video on the Agera RS and how the values are now estimated at over $10 million for them. With this Valkyrie, I wonder if the values will surpass that since production numbers are similar?
Remember how Bruce Mclaren made the F1 because no one else could do it properly and they are worth eye watering amounts of money now?
I believe this is the modern version of that car and it's pricing will reflect that.
I'm a huge fan of the Valkyrie, but don't forget that AMG is working on a similar project, which will use a 'streetable' version of a modern F1 drivetrain, meaning 1.6 V6T that revs to the moon and 4 electric motors...
Mercedes-AMG Project ONE: Formula 1 technology for the road.
Valkyrie looks better and more aggressive IMO, but Mercedes knows a thing or two about F1 technology....
Too heavy, half of svtp is out. Could have done better
I did forget about the Project One and haven't really looked into all the specs on it. It will be cool to see these two cars duke it out for track times then. Not that they matter but I think with these upcoming new generation hypercars, they are going to crush lap times like never seen, and Im especially interested in seeing the Nurburgring times. The effort and R&D they are putting into them is the closest to F1 we have seen yet.
I dont doubt it at all. I was just surprised that the Agera appreciated so quickly. I would expect prices like that maybe a 5-10 years from production.
Remember when 400 horsepower was the holy grail? Sheesh...
Incredible video. Not often enough do you see an inside look at the real engineering. More times than not it’s a garbage hype video with containing nothing of value.

@AustinJ427, I just remembered... the name I was thinking of is Gordon Murray I think. He led McLaren's comeback and is doing TVR's as well, right?
Just watched the vids. Absolutely unbelievable engineering. Imagine what it would be like to work on that project. Oh....owning and driving it would be cool too.
