It is no secret that Aston Martin has big plans for the upcoming Valkyrie hypercar and now the boss, Andy Palmer has spoken about attempting a new production car lap record at Germany’s Nürburgring Nordschleife.
The Valhalla should pack more than 1000 hp and deliver the kind of performance that would threaten the Nürburgring production lap record and contend with the new Ferrari SF90 Stradale.
The manufacturer has promised they will reveal the production version towards the end of the year which possibly means a Los Angeles show debut in November.

Aston Martin took to Instagram to reveal the car which now sports a unique livery that was inspired by the Avro Vulcan Bomber plane.
Dubbed the ‘OHMSS’ edition for short, the special DBS Superleggera sports a spec inspired by the 1969 Aston Martin DBS that 007 drove in the film.
The car will head to the production line in 2021 so we do have quite a bit of time to wait before we see the production version.
As a result, the car now weighs 95 kilograms less than the ordinary Vantage.
