The Ultimate Hypercar: Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin Valkyrie Hits the Streets of Monaco
Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1® Team driver, Fernando Alonso, recently took delivery of his bespoke Aston Martin Valkyrie, a hypercar that embodies the essence of an F1® car for the road. This exclusive event took place at the iconic Monte Carlo Bay Hotel in Monaco, where Alonso drove his Valkyrie through the streets, turning heads and showcasing a vehicle that blends unparalleled performance with unique, personalized design.
A Bespoke Masterpiece Inspired by F1®
Alonso’s Valkyrie, developed in collaboration with Aston Martin’s bespoke service, Q by Aston Martin, features a stunning Satin Aston Martin Racing Green finish, echoing the design of his AMR24 Formula One® Team race car. The hypercar is adorned with bespoke AMR Satin Lime Graphics that highlight its aerodynamic features, and additional Speed Red and Light and Dark Blue painted accents further enhance the car's aggressive Venturi Tunnel. Exposed Carbon Fibre dominates the roof, engine cover, and lower aerodynamic elements, while a Titanium Aston Martin Wings badge graces the nose, adding a touch of elegance to this high-performance machine. A unique 'CAUTION HOT' graphic on the rear completes the exterior's bold statement.
Inside, the driver-focused cabin continues the use of exposed carbon fibre, complemented by Pure Black Alcantara with contrasting AMR Lime stitching. Alonso’s personal logo is intricately embroidered into the headrests, reinforcing the bespoke nature of this vehicle. One of the most personal touches is the red anodised aluminium accelerator pedal etched with the number ‘14’—a tribute to Alonso's karting world championship win with the same number.
Performance Beyond Imagination
The Aston Martin Valkyrie is not just about looks; it delivers performance that rivals any F1® car. Powered by a hybrid 6.5-litre V12 engine, the Valkyrie boasts a staggering 1,155PS, enabling it to accelerate from 0-60 mph in under 2.5 seconds. The hypercar’s design incorporates F1®-inspired aerodynamics, offering one of the most exhilarating driving experiences on the road. Each Valkyrie is meticulously hand-built at Aston Martin's UK Headquarters in Gaydon, where a dedicated team of technicians spends over 2,000 man-hours crafting each of the 150 exclusive models. Before delivery, every Valkyrie undergoes rigorous track testing at Silverstone, the home of British Motorsport.
