Of that eye-watering figure, the 6.5-litre engine produces 1,000 bhp on its own, with the remainder provided courtesy of the battery electric system.The huge powertrain – centred around theCosworth-built 65\u00b0 V12 engine – is intended to be reminiscent of the loud andproud, ultra-high-revving Formula 1 units of the 1990s. But this isn’t a simple case of copycatting, as the engine utilises all the latest advances in manufacturing, design and materials. Just as in a contemporary F1 car, many of the powertrain’s key components perform multiple roles.The gearbox doubles as a rear suspensionmounting point and contributes to the vehicle’s structural rigidity, therebyremoving the need to fit a separate rear subframe. This in turn will help tokeep down the Valkyrie’s weight, boosting its performance.Aston Martin’s vice president and special vehicle operations officer David King said: \u201cAston Martin Valkyrie is set to be the ultimate hypercar in the automotive world and these performance figures underline that statement.“We have already created a hybrid systemthat is emissions-compliant and ready to begin fitting to our first physicalprototypes. I am, as I\u2019m sure the rest of the world is, incredibly excited tosee and hear the first of these cars on track.”The marque showed off what it described as the “first verification prototype” of the Valkyrie at the recent Geneva Motor Show. The design should closely resemble the finished production model, which is expected to start shipping at the end of this year."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Aston Martin reveals blistering performance details for Valkyrie hypercar","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/aston-martin-reveals-new-details-on-the-valkyrie\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
