Aston Martin has been manufacturing luxury sports cars for well over a century. Its incredible vehicles include the 1964 DB5, a model that reached international iconic status as James Bond’s car in the motion picture Goldfinger.
Red Bull Racing made its first official Grand Prix entry in 2005. By 2010, this UK-based Formula One racing team has established itself as an international force to be reckoned with, winning the first of four successive Constructors’ Championship titles.
Merging the best of high-performance automotive history with the latest in state-of-the-art modern technology, Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing reveal their groundbreaking hypercar, the Aston Martin Valkyrie. Since its first reveal back in 2016, the two organizations have been working overtime with their project partner AF Racing to further refine the Valkyrie’s body styling, aerodynamic capabilities, and cockpit packaging.
The Valkyrie’s unique teardrop-shaped cockpit follow the contours of the full-length Venturi tunnels that feed the rear diffuser by drawing huge quantities of air beneath the car.
While these body design elements are the dominant story, the brand new Valkyrie features an innovative removable steering wheel that includes all essential switchgear and all the vital signs on a compact OLED display screen. Other notable elements of the latest Valkyrie release include unadorned headlights that celebrate pure Formula One engineering and a center high mounted rear stoplight (CHMSL) that measures just 5.5 millimeters wide and 9.5 millimeters high.
