Manifested To Push The Limits Of Performance, The Valkyrie AMR Pro At The Bahrain Grand Prix

Parading its most extreme creation yet, the creme de la creme of its performance engineering, the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro at the season-opening of Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix.

Development driver, Dirk Müller, was behind the wheel for its debut during said weekend. Completing two runs, ahead of Saturday’s Qualifier race and on Sunday morning before the big race.

Müller, expressed, “That was unbelievable. I know everyone says that about cars all the time but seriously, this car is something else. It’s closer to an F1 car in terms of performance than anything else I have ever driven. The power, the handling, the grip, everything is perfect.”

The Valkyrie AMR Pro is one of the world’s most astonishing track-only cars, manifested to push the boundaries of performance, unconstrained by road or racing regulations.

This beast from the British ultra-luxury automaker beats with a naturally aspirated V12 engine, developing 1,000 bhp, revving up to 11,000 rpm.

Together with an aerodynamic efficiency that exceeds Le Mans Hypercar regulations, it resembles a track performance approaching that of a Formula 1 car.

It has been many years since F1 cars were powered by V12 engines, so the Cosworth-built 6.5-litre lurking in the Valkyire AMR Pro provided a special aural treat for the fans.

Aston Martin’s chief executive officer, Tobias Moers, remarked, “This car is performance engineering at its best. All of our test drivers, all extremely successful racing drivers, are in awe of this car and it is easy to understand why. The Valkyrie AMR Pro is approaching F1 performance levels, and we are very proud of the most extreme Aston Martin yet.”

Ensuing the first successful deliveries, all customers of this highly anticipated Hypercar will have the chance to take part in a dedicated Aston Martin track experience programme. 

Notably, on some of the most iconic FIA circuits around the world, from Yas Marina to Silverstone, Nürburgring to Fuji and to the Circuit of the Americas.

Moreover, it will form part of a unique programme that will commence in the Autumn and will include trackside support from a roster of legendary drivers from the F1 and endurance racing world.

That said, just 40 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro are to be produced, and the first deliveries have commenced.
