Aston Martin Valkrie...any thoughts?
A rather nice hypercar slayer from Aston in the pipeline, with superb aerodynamics for getting round those bends, and a rather nifty 10 seconds to get to 200 mph, 5 for getting to 120 mph, and a rather laggardly 16-20 seconds to get to it's top speed of 250 mph. There seems to be a fragility to the carbon fibre cabin, esp as the twin seats have very little padding and are mounted to the frame.
Clearly it's based on a Le Mans car, with a 1-1 power and weight comparison. It has the same power as the winning Audi, 1000-1100 bhp, 'but' it weighs 1000 kg compared to the Audi's 850 kg.
Love to see what the finished car will look like. They are all sold out on pre orders sadly, but it's nice to see blighty doing this sort of thing.
