2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie

The 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie is not meant for the masses and that’s why you do not get many trim levels to select from. The prime reason for making the Aston Martin Valkyrie is the performance it offers. You do not get a comfortable cabin loaded with multiple entertainment options. But you do not even need them as the performance of the car has enough entertainment packed that it does not give you the chance to miss any other entertainment options. You get a standard Valkyrie trim that costs more than $3.5 million. It comes with a hybrid powertrain. There is also a track-only version known as Valkyrie AMR Pro that costs $4 million and comes with a non-hybrid powertrain. It also brings other useful changes to make the car more agile on the track. 

We recommend

The 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie is available in only one fully-loaded trim for buyers who wish to take advantage of the extremely powerful hybrid powertrain options. The only reason why people will buy this car is to get the fun of driving that they get from behind the wheel. You can go with the hybrid powertrain variant of the Aston Martin Valkyrie as the Valkyrie AMR Pro is meant for driving on tracks. 

The 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie has a 6.5L V12 engine paired with a hybrid motor for additional power and acceleration. The combined power output from the engine is 1139 horsepower and the maximum torque output is 663 lb-ft. The engine sends the power through a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission to the rear wheels. The acceleration figures of the 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie can push you back on the seats in no time. It takes only 2.3 seconds to reach from 0 to 60 mph while the quarter-mile run takes only 7.7 seconds. The electric motor with the massive V12 engine makes it fly like a rocket right from the beginning. There is no lag in the power delivery and the performance is more than the dream of most car lovers. 

The 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie is the fastest car in the competition to reach from 0 to 60 mph sharing the spot with the 2023 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport. Both these cars take only 2.3 seconds to achieve 60 mph from a standstill. However, the 2023 Mercedes-AMG One is faster than the Aston Martin Valkyrie in the quarter-mile run. The top speed of the Aston Martin Valkyrie, Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport, and the Mercedes-AMG One are similar. The 2023 Koenigsegg Jesko leaves all its rivals far behind when it comes to top speed. It can achieve a maximum speed of well over 300 mph. 

2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie Ride and Handling

The Aston Martin Valkyrie is an extraordinary supercar built to provide unmatched performance and handling. Leveraging the collaboration with Red Bull Racing, this car demonstrates the forefront of technology and aerodynamics. Aston Martin has completely nailed the dynamics of the car from every aspect. Forget about the corners of the roads, even the road legal variant of the Aston Martin Valkyrie will not feel like a compromise in terms of handling when you take it to the tracks. 

The 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie does not feel like an immature hypercar. The steering wheel comes with pinpoint accuracy. The lower center of gravity boosts the confidence of the driver at any speed around the corners. The seats grab you well when you are going hard around the corners. But do not talk of comfort in the cabin, the ride quality as expected is not great in the Aston Martin Valkyries. However, it does not feel like a punishment for sitting in the car. 

2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie Braking Performance

The exact specifications of the 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie is still missing in many aspects. The same goes for the braking system used on the Aston Martin Valkyrie. There is no clarity on the exact dimensions of the Aston Martin Valkyrie as of now. However, the braking performance of the Aston Martin Valkyrie is up there among the best. Being a car that packs more than 1,100 horsepower, it comes with a strong braking system that can stop the car on time. The feedback from the brake pedals will also impress the buyers. It inspires enough confidence to carry high speeds around the corners without worrying about unreliable performance from the brakes. 

All the supercars in the competition are rare cars from the respective brands. They do not sell in huge numbers even if you look at the global numbers. And that’s a prime reason, there is still a lack of data in terms of the braking system and braking performance of all these supercars. But considering the kind of performance they pack and they are meant to be driven on tracks at high speeds, all of them come with top-notch braking systems that can match the level of performance the car offers.

The buyers of the 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie will keep fuel economy figures as the last thing on the priority list. The hybrid engine in the Aston Martin Valkyrie is not meant for high fuel economy figures. Instead, it is meant for better acceleration and more power. The kind of power and driving dynamics that the Aston Martin Valkyrie offers will push you to go hard on the gas pedal which is not the ideal way to get better efficiency. There is no official data available on the fuel economy of the Aston Martin Valkyrie. However, the numbers will not matter much to the buyers either. The Aston Martin Valkyrie comes with an 18.5 gallons fuel tank which is decent for the class. 

The 2023 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack comes with the smallest fuel tank capacity in the competition. The 2023 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport is the only car with the mpg figures. It can return 8 mpg in the city, 13 mpg on the highway, and 10 mpg of combined fuel economy. Only you know how much you can get from it on the track. It comes with a 22-gallon fuel tank that allows it to deliver a maximum highway range of 286 miles. There is no data available for the 2023 Mercedes-AMG One. The fuel tank capacity of the Aston Martin Valkyrie lies in between the Bugatti and Koenigsegg.

The 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie comes with a driver-focused cabin and all the controls are focused toward the driver. The cabin looks luxurious and futuristic as it is a fresh design. There is the use of premium quality materials like carbon fiber and Alcantara to give it an even more premium look. Aston Martin has kept the central console minimalistic by not confusing the buyers with multiple buttons and controls over there. Getting in and out of the cabin feels like a task due to the limited door opening. Once you are inside there is ample space for the driver and the co-passenger in the cabin. Do not expect practicality and you can hardly carry any cargo in the car. 

The interior dimensions are not available for any of the hypercars in the competition. All of them can accommodate a maximum of two passengers in the cabin as rear seats are not present in the car. All of them cost a fortune so they do not compromise the quality of the cabin. The 2023 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport comes with 2 cubic feet of cargo space while the 2023 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack offers you 5.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity. There is no data available for the 2023 Mercedes-AMG One and the 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie.

2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie Infotainment System

The road-legal version of the 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie comes with a central screen to show all the driver related information. Being a hypercar that is meant for performance, you do not get many entertainment options in the car. There is also a screen mounted on the steering wheel so that the driver does not have to take their eyes off the road to access the information while driving. There are also two additional screens mounted on both the A-pillars of the car to show the rearview of the car from each side. You do not get the central screen in the track version of the Aston Martin Valkyrie though. There is no clarity on other infotainment features as of now.

• Center infotainment screen

The design looks visually stunning and futuristic. The low and wide profile of the car looks attractive from the front. The sleek and aerodynamic silhouette is a true work of art. Aston Martin has nailed the front design with a long and pointed nose that seems to slice through the air with ease. From top to the bottom, the Valkyrie has maintained its aerodynamic design and it maintains good visibility on the road for the driver. The rear gets a massive wing that helps the car in staying planted at those massive speeds. The overall design will attract many eyes on the road. 

The 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie is the longest car in the competition. It also comes with the longest wheelbase compared to its rivals. However, the width of the Aston Martin Valkyrie is the least in the class. The best part that favors the Aston Martin Valkyrie is that it is also the lightest car in the competition. The 2023 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack is the second longest car followed by the 2023 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport in the third position. However, Bugatti has a slightly longer wheelbase.

On the other hand, the Mercedes-AMG One is meant for track and street driving. You can change the suspension settings of the Merc with the click of a button to make it a more comfortable and easy-to-drive car in the city. 

2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie vs. 2023 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack 

The Swedish hypercar maker Koenigsegg has a long history of making hypercars that can go quickly as a bullet. The 2023 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack is a great example of that. It is powered by a 5.0L Twin-Turbo V8 that produces 1280 horsepower. However, it can produce a maximum power of over 1600 horsepower. The exterior design of the Jesko is also inspired by Koenigsegg’s iconic design language. Koenigsegg has a long history of racing culture which is evident in the overall styling and other aspects of the car. The Aston Martin Valkyrie on the other hand has just entered the market. The Valkyrie can achieve some crazy numbers in terms of performance and other aspects but it is hard to beat the performance of the Koenigsegg Jesko. You can go for the one based on your personal preference and timing. 

The 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie has brought a storm in the market with its mind-boggling performance for the class. The combination of gasoline and electric power works exceptionally well in the favor of the Aston Martin Valkyrie. The electric motor helps it in the initial acceleration and that is the reason why it can go from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds. The potent powertrain and blazingly fast acceleration are the two main reasons why the Aston Martin Valkyrie comes out as a great product. No one except in a hypercar from this segment gets a great space in the back. The only thing to keep in mind is that do not expect great practicality from the car. It serves the purpose of the car pretty well. If you want a hypercar that comes with a luxurious cabin style, the 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie makes great sense.
