Aston Martin Valhalla: Design

The Aston Martin Valhalla features a design that combines familiar elements with updated details. Its overall shape and nose are similar to Aston Martin's front-engine models, but larger side cutouts and flared wheel arches give it a distinct profile focused on aerodynamics and performance.

One notable feature is the retractable rear wing, positioned at the level of the roof scoop rather than the roofline. 

Aston Martin Valhalla: Interior

The Aston Martin Valhalla's interior is designed for performance. It features one-piece carbon seats and a carbon steering wheel inspired by F1 cars. The seating position places the driver's feet at the same level as their hips, similar to a Formula One car, improving control and driving experience.

The transmission tunnel is made from recycled forged carbon. The dashboard holds dual digital displays, offering key information in a straightforward layout. This design prioritizes performance and functionality within the Valhalla's cabin.

Aston Martin Valhalla: Powertrain

The Aston Martin Valhalla features a 4.0-litre V8 engine sourced from Mercedes, producing 817bhp. Combined with three electric motors—two on the front axle and one integrated into the transmission—the total system output reaches 1064bhp and 1099Nm of torque. This setup allows the Valhalla to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 350 km/h.

The Valhalla uses an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission to send power to the rear wheels. It lacks a reverse gear, with the front electric motors handling reverse movement. These motors also assist in low-speed driving and improve fuel efficiency. In electric mode, the Valhalla offers a range of 14 km.
