Aston Martin Valkyrie Could Fetch $3 Million at Auction
Missed your chance to own the Aston Martin Valkyrie? Now’s the time to seize the moment. A rare and virtually untouched example of this street-legal hypercar is set to hit the auction block at RM Sotheby’s upcoming Dubai sale. With fewer than 100 miles on the odometer since its production in 2022, this car offers an extraordinary opportunity for collectors.
The Aston Martin Valkyrie is a departure from the brand’s classic grand tourers, designed in collaboration with famed Formula 1 designer Adrian Newey and Red Bull Racing. This car represents a groundbreaking leap in performance and aerodynamics. It’s not just a car; it’s a high-performance machine with a sleek, futuristic design that produces a staggering 4,400 pounds of downforce. Powering this beast is a hybrid-assisted V-12 engine that delivers over 1,000 horsepower, ensuring it performs at a level few cars in the world can match.
One of the Valkyrie’s most captivating aspects is its exclusivity. With only 150 models ever built, owning one is a privilege afforded to very few. The model being auctioned features a striking Lunar White finish, with exposed carbon fiber detailing on the roof and graphic strakes. Black Magnesium wheels complete the bold look, giving the hypercar the appearance of a futuristic race vehicle. The interior mirrors the exterior’s sci-fi vibe, with a cabin decked out in exposed carbon fiber. The Pure Black Deboss Alcantara steering wheel and racing seats, highlighted by Spicy Red contrast stitching, emphasize its race-ready character.
The powertrain is equally as impressive as the design. Featuring a Cosworth-developed 6.5-liter V-12 engine paired with an electric motor, the Valkyrie produces 1,160 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. Weighing less than 3,000 pounds, this street-legal hypercar can rocket from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.6 seconds and hit a top speed of 249 mph.
The rarity and sheer performance of the Valkyrie make it a highly coveted piece. This particular model has only 68 miles on it, making it even more desirable. It’s expected to fetch between $2.6 million and $3 million when it goes up for auction on Sunday, December 1, during RM Sotheby’s second Dubai sale. For those who missed out on buying the Valkyrie initially, this is a rare second chance.
