Aston Martin Valhalla the epitome of ultra luxury mid-engine supercars, is tapping into the world of Formula 1 for its evolution. The Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One team (AMF1) is providing valuable insights, methodologies, and technologies to intensify the development of Aston Martin's future models.
The collaboration between Aston Martin and its Formula 1® team is facilitated by Aston Martin Performance Technologies. AMPT is actively assisting Aston Martin in three crucial areas: dynamics, aerodynamics, and materials. This technical crossover ensures that Aston Martin benefits from the rapid problem solving tools and expertise developed in the pursuit of speed, reliability, and performance in Formula 1®.
Aston Martin Valhalla aims to deliver unparalleled driver engagement, with 90% of its dynamic characteristics and vehicle set-up completed in the simulator. Input from AMF1 drivers, including Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso, adds a new dimension to Valhalla's calibration, elevating vehicle dynamics to new heights. The driving position, inspired by Formula 1®, provides race car-level control, ensuring seamless connection between the driver and the car.
The collaboration with AMPT and Aston Martin's aerodynamicists allows Valhalla to benefit from fully active aerodynamic systems, generating over 600kg of downforce at 240km/h. This dynamic system adapts front and rear downforce constantly, maximizing grip, balance, and consistency. Inspired by F1® vortex generators and aero features, Valhalla's aerodynamics showcase the fusion of road car and Formula 1® technologies.
AMPT and AMF1's extensive experience in carbon fibre construction plays a pivotal role in Valhalla's structure. The carbon structure, crafted with a novel technology developed for Aston Martin, maximizes stiffness with minimal weight. This cutting-edge composite technology results in a stiff, strong, and light passenger cell, ensuring best-in-class dynamic structural attributes and outstanding safety.
Valhalla represents Aston Martin's transition from internal combustion to hybrid to full electrification. The bespoke twin-turbo flat-plane V8 engine, coupled with three e-motors, creates a 1,012 PS hybrid all-wheel-drive powertrain. Torque vectoring, enabled by twin electric motors on the front axle, enhances steering response, grip, and traction. Valhalla's powertrain, a fusion of F1® insights and road car development, sets new standards for performance and efficiency.
Aston Martin Valhalla, with its roots in Formula 1®, exemplifies the marriage of motorsport excellence and road car innovation. As the brand accelerates towards a future of electrification, Valhalla stands as a testament to the seamless integration of Formula 1® technology into the world of ultra-luxury performance cars.
