THE new Aston Martin Valhalla is now available for booking and it is only limited to five units in Malaysia, and two units have been booked so far.

The price is estimated around £600,000 (RM3.53 million) excluding duties and taxes.

The Valhalla is a new generation of the Aston Martin and it defines a new driver and driving experience which is “The Mastery of Driving”.

According to its distributor Wearnes Quest Sdn Bhd, the Valhalla concept car is an extraordinary, driver-focused mid-engined hybrid supercar which began production on July 15.

“With a mid-engined 950PS petrol/battery electric powertrain, new carbon fibre structure and aerodynamics shaped by the pioneering philosophy first seen in the revolutionary Aston Martin Valkyrie, Valhalla will bring the perfect balance of hypercar performance and advanced powertrain, driving dynamics and uniquely sophisticated design materials to truly redefine the supercar sector,” it said.

The Valhalla is equipped with an all-new plug-in hybrid electric vehicle powertrain which consists of three motors.

The foremost of these is a rear-mid-mounted 4l twin-turbo bespoke V8 engine, which is Aston Martin’s most advanced, responsive and highest performing V8 engine ever fitted.

The V8 engine has a flat-plane crankshaft for increased responsiveness and it is able to rev to 7,200rpm.

It can also develop 750PS where it sends drive exclusively to the rear axle.

“Exhaling through a lightweight exhaust system with active flaps for an adjustable and authentic Aston Martin sound character it also features top-exit tailpipes to maximise visual and aural drama,” it added.
