A few days ago, according to overseas media reports, Aston Martin Valhalla will be launched in 2024, and a year later will usher in Vanquish, both new cars are equipped with a flat crank twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine composed of hybrid systems.
Aston Martin CEO and former AMG CEO Tobias Moers told us that Valhalla is coming. The AM-RB 003 concept car debuted in March 2019 and the final version was announced last July. According to the executive, the car's production model will be available in 2024 and will share the powertrain with the company's entry-level supercar, the Vanquish.
As a brand new model, the Vanquish was also launched as a concept car in March 2019, with a mid-engine layout that has undergone a fundamental modification compared to previous models. It also has a turbocharged V6 engine as part of the hybrid system. Moers said the product is expected to go on sale in 2025, a year after Valhalla hit the market. Both will share a flat crank engine.
It is reported that valhalla will not use the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine of the concept car, but instead a more powerful twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine equipped with a flat crankshaft. When Aston Martin released pictures and details of the model, it didn't mention anything related to the engines that Mercedes-AMG had mounted on the Black Series models.
The V8 engine will reach a top speed of 7200 rpm, the same red line as the Black Series model. After matching an electric motor, the Valhalla has 937 hp and 1000 Nm of power. The hybrid system is said to be able to push Valhalla's speed to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, while the top speed can reach 350 km/h. It is reported that Vanquish's power performance will be slightly inferior, and there is no specific information at present.
