Valkyrie Spider: Aston Martin's hypercar convertible version

As if the Valkyrie and its 1155 horsepower weren't enough, Aston Martin decided to give a new look to its hypercar, unveiling the Valkyrie Spider. A beast of the same power but which this time has a detachable carbon roof.

« From the start of the Aston Martin Valkyrie project, we were driven by demanding goals that went far beyond any previous road car and the Valkyrie Spider brings that same philosophy to the open-cockpit hypercar category, specifies Adrian Newey, technical manager of Red Bull en F1 and member of the English hypercar design team. What you see is a simple removable roof, but the challenge of staying true to the Valkyrie concept was anything but obvious. Maintaining aerodynamic performance with the roof removed was of paramount importance, while taking into account weight savings to maximize driver enjoyment ».

Among the new challenges of designing the Spider version: the doors. If those of the first version opened like a butterfly, the new ones now open like an elytron due to the new convertible version of the English hypercar. In terms of performance, the next 85 owners of the Valkyrie Spider will be able to benefit from the same power as the big sister, namely the 1155 horsepower of the 12-liter V6.5 rising to more than 11000 rpm. Concerning the top speed of the car, Aston Martin announces 350 km/h with the roof closed and 330 km/h with the roof open. Enough to offer incredible sensations to its next buyers.

The first deliveries of 85 examples of the Valkyrie Spider are planned for the second half of 2022.
