[Auto] Aston Martin Valhalla: makeover for the final sprint

[ぁ Ꭷbito-]

The long-awaited hybrid hypercar is about to complete its development with a view to reaching the market in 2024. The arrival of the new owner and CEO at Aston Martin finally brought the economic stability that the company craved. These changes caused that after some rumors and doubts that threatened the completion of one of the brand's most ambitious projects, that of the Aston Martin Valkyrie, the hypercar moved forward to finally meet those owners who were anxiously awaiting its arrival. In this way, the beast created together with Adrian Newey and Red Bull became a reality, but what about his little brother?

General characteristics of the Aston Martin Valhalla
The Valkyrie was not the only model proposed for this new range of hypercars from Aston Martin and Red Bull, so after confirming that the original model is alive and ready for action, the next step was to bring an Aston Martin Valhalla to production, planned as a more civilized and affordable version of the Valkyrie. The British firm confirmed a certain delay in its launch as it was going to "rethink" certain parts of the design, including its engine, and now we see the final result in the form of a prototype undergoing its latest development tests. Although some time ago the British brand unveiled what we considered the definitive version of the Valhalla, the latest images of the aforementioned prototype tell us the opposite since a series of changes can be seen in the aesthetics of the model. The front part looks different and this is due to the modifications both in the aerodynamic elements and in some new optical groups, while on the side we discover a new air intake of generous dimensions and modified rear-view mirrors. It's the rear end that appears to have remained unchanged, sporting an imposing diffuser and a gigantic retractable spoiler, although the drivers could be different. All this is accompanied by an air intake located on the roof. This commitment to more elegant shapes than those of its older brother does not mean that the Valhalla lacks aerodynamic load, since as explained by the brand, the body of this hypercar has a series of hidden solutions with a Venturi effect to generate a downforce of 600 kilos at maximum speed. We do not know if changes have been made to the interior, since both the images published a few years ago and the current ones do not show us the design of the cabin, so we will have to continue waiting.
