The Aston Martin Valkyrie Has A 1160bhp Total Output Thanks To Rimac
While Aston Martin has happily revealed all about the Valkyrie’s astonishing Cosworth-built N/A V12, the hybrid part of the equation has remained a mystery. Therefore, we haven’t known the full output of the bonkers hypercar. Until now, that is.
The hybrid gubbins act as the 160bhp, 207lb ft icing on the Valkyrie cake, bringing the total output to 1160bhp. Remember, the anticipated weight figure is around 1100kg. Yep, this thing is going to be quick.
The peak power figure comes in at 10,500rpm, while the 546lb ft peak torque figure arrives at 6000rpm.
The system comprises an electric motor supplied by Integral Powertrain Ltd, which sits between the engine and the gearbox, and a lightweight battery system built by Rimac. The operation of the setup is likened to an F1 Kers-style boost. The Rimac battery pack is also responsible for powering all of the cars other electronic systems.
Fittingly, Aston Martin chose to send out the press release with images of a Valkyrie decked out in a ‘design specification’ called ‘Maximum’. We dig it.
The company also announced that the very first Valkyrie prototypes are now being built. It won’t be long before we get to see the car in action…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

It remimds me of valkyrie from clash of clans, but without the axe
So it wasnt only me lol
I wonder how long before Doug DeMuro has access to this car for the “Quirks and features” of this very car and that goes for the same for the Mercedes AMG One too….
Probably none, assuming these cars are gonna be cooped up garage queens. Still, let’s keep our hopes up and pray at least someone’s generous enough
Bruh that video gonna be 10 and a half years long
Rimac is powering the Volkswagen Audi group and Aston Martin now.
Nope still too slow…..needs to be much much much much faster than that!
Those headlights are too small!
They’re fuctional. You don’t need 1 square kilometer of light assembly for just 2 or 3 small bulbs. Or do you want to fit size 10 shoe inside your light assembly? (screenshot from Streetspeed 717 vid)
It has a lot less torque than what i would expect from a 1000hp v12
it doesn’t need to have that much torque thanks to the high revs. Most modern V12 engines have turbos and therefore enough torque to change the earths rotation ;). But power is simply troque multiplied by engine speed and when you rev it way over 10k rpm you only need relativ low torque figures to achieve over 1000bhp.
