Now you can buy your very own Formula 1 Aston Martin, ish

Aston Martin have unveiled the new Valkyrie Spider at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, an adrenalin soaked experience that is the fastest and most extreme open top Aston Martin to date, that will bring you closer to that F1 experience than ever.

Working closely with Red Bull Advanced Technologies (RBAT) the Valkyrie has received revisions to its carbon fibre structure, plus precise recalibration of both the active aerodynamic and active chassis systems while the 1155PS hybrid V12 powertrain remains unchanged. With the roof off the Valkyrie Spider can hit a top speed of over 330km/h.

The bespoke, removable lightweight roof comprising of a carbon fibre central panel, latching onto the tub at the rear and to the windscreen surround at the front, along with a pair of polycarbonate roof windows, hinged on either side.  On opening the doors, the roof can simply be lifted off and stowed away. Modifications to the carbon fibre tub have been made to support the removable roof panels and the luxury open-top layout, as well as new doors. The now front-hinged dihedral doors, which are unique to Valkyrie Spider, have been redesigned to tilt forwards. 

Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Tobias Moers said: “The Aston Martin Valkyrie is the product of incredible innovation and technology, but above all it has always been about emotion. With the Valkyrie Spider we are taking that passion and emotion to the next level. The driving experience promises to be truly sensational. The sound of that 6.5-litre V12 engine revving to over 11,000rpm with the roof removed is something I cannot wait to hear.”

With production limited to just 85 units don’t wait too long to decide if you want the coupe of the Spider!
