Co-developed with Red Bull Racing, the screaming, 1139-hp Valkyrie is real at last.
Aston Martin Could Team Up with Lucid
The Valkyrie's need to accommodate human cargo was always a low priority in the packaging of the car, with Newey attaching far greater importance to aerodynamic requirements. Yet while the passenger compartment is tiny, it could have been even smaller—Nurnberger recounts a meeting at which he managed to persuade the famous designer to free up an extra 8 millimeters of space , a concession that won him a round of applause from the engineering team.
Much of the sense of anarchy is down to the Valkyrie's combination of noise and vibration when revved. The meshed cogs that drive its camshafts are just inches on the other side of the firewall, and reaching the altitudinous redline brings an almost painful cacophony. But it is also down to the engine's character and the immediacy of its responses, the complete lack of delay between pressing the accelerator and feeling the reaction.
