Development continues on the Aston Martin Valhalla. In a new video, the brand’s design director, Miles Nurnberger, offers a glimpse of the supercar’s cabin and explains some of the work behind its making.
Nurnberger and his team have a Valhalla model where they can move things around and adjust seats to create the perfect cabin for the supercar. The company even places race drivers inside this mockup to ensure the layout facilitates fast lap times.

Inside, the Valhalla keeps things simple. The driver grabs a rounded rectangular steering wheel. Behind it is a large digital screen. The floating center console contains the on/off button and a rocker switch.
After debuting as concept AM-RB 003 in March 2019, the production version of the Valhalla will finally arrive in 2024.
Power will come from a hybrid-assist 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft. An electric motor will power each axle. Total system output will be 937 horsepower (699 kilowatts) and 738 pound-feet (1,000 Newton-meters) of torque. According to projections, the supercar will hit 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 2.5 seconds and have a top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h). Electric-only range will be just 9.0 miles (15 kilometers).
The combustion engine sends power to an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox to the rear wheels. An electronically controlled limited-slip differential manages traction between the sides.
Aston Martin predicts the Valhalla can lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6 minutes 30 seconds. That would be enough to break the current record of 6:43 for a Porsche 911 GT2 RS with Manthey Racing upgrades.
The brand intends to build only 500 copies of the Valhalla. As of 2019, the estimated starting price is £875,000.
Following the launch of the Valhalla, Aston Martin plans to introduce the new Vanquish in 2025. It would use a version of the same twin-turbo V8 as the supercar.
