Spotting an Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro in the real world is a rare sight. There will only ever be 40 production examples of the runway-only machine, and a new video from YouTube channel 912fordgt has captured one blasting an airstrip. The video captures the car’s superb exhaust note from its glorious V12 engine.
The car debuted as a concept in 2018, changing up a bit before the production model went into hiding in July last year. Aston Martin made it 10.5 inches (266 millimetres) longer than the road version, increasing the overall length by 15 inches (380 mm). Aston also widened the front and rear tracks and tweaked the underbody for better aero.

Aston has also added an extreme aero package which gives the car its menacing aesthetic. This helped the car create twice as much downforce as the road version, making it capable of achieving more than 3G lateral acceleration. Aston uses carbon fiber throughout the car’s construction, including the bodywork and wishbones. Aston also used Perspex for the windows to save even more weight.
One of the most significant changes during its development occurred at the powertrain level, with Aston ditching the 1,100 horsepower (820 kilowatts) hybrid setup for a non-hybrid naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine. built by Cosworth. This reduced the car’s weight while producing 1,000 hp (745 kW).
The video captures several of the car’s races on the closed track, and it looks like a race car as it spins at an astonishing 11,000 rpm. The track-only Valkyrie looks wild with its aero package, but the road version also looks otherworldly with its sleek, futuristic styling. It has a top speed of 250 miles per hour (402 kilometers per hour), which is good enough for road and track.
Deliveries of the track-only supercar began late last year and owners will be able to take their cars on dedicated track experiences. The program kicks off this fall, allowing drivers to race at famous circuits such as Silverstone, Nurburgring and Circuit of the Americas. There are only 40, so keep an eye out.
