Aston Martin Allegedly Readying A Track Pack For The Valkyrie

BY Brad Anderson | Posted on

Aston Martin will reportedly offer a third variant of its Valkyrie hypercar, designed to slot between the ‘standard’ road-legal model and the track-only Valkyrie AMR Pro.

According to The Supercar Blog, the British manufacturer is working on a Track Pack for its hypercar. As with similar models offered by other automakers, it will be based on the road-legal model and come complete with a host of new aerodynamic parts.

Additionally, it could also weigh slightly less than the normal Valkyrie. It is alleged that Aston Martin is developing an optional, ultra-lightweight carbon fiber tub that could be included in the Track Pack, while there’s a chance that there will also be a slightly bump in power.

In August, Cosworth, the company responsible for creating the Valkyrie’s naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12, revealed that its bespoke powertrain will pump out a remarkable 1130 HP. It is widely assumed that this horsepower figure quoted by Cosworth will be for the AMR Pro and includes the extra oomph provided by the electric motor and battery from Rimac.

In all likelihood, the road-going Valkyrie will produce closer to 1000 hp. In Track Pack guise, this could be bumped up by about 50 hp.

Whether the lucky few to secure a Valkyrie application opt for the standard model, the Track Pack or the AMR Pro, they’ll receive the keys to what’s promising to be the fastest production car around a circuit ever produced, with Aston promising that the Valkyrie AMR Pro will match current Formula 1 cars around certain tracks.
