Aston Martin Aramco driver Fernando Alonso takes to the streets of Monaco following delivery of his Aston Martin Valkyrie; an era-defining hypercar that incorporates concepts and technologies taken directly from Formula One.
Fernando drove his new Valkyrie out of the iconic Monte Carlo Bay Hotel, showcasing a unique specification created in partnership with the design team at Aston Martin’s bespoke service, Q by Aston Martin.
Taking inspiration from his AMR24 race car, Fernando's Valkyrie is painted in Satin Aston Martin Racing Green with bespoke contrasting AMR Satin Lime Graphics, emphasising the aerodynamic highlights of the hypercar.
The cavernous Venturi Tunnel has been enhanced even further with the addition of Speed Red and Light and Dark Blue painted graphics. Exposed carbon fibre adorns the roof, engine cover, and lower aero and a titanium Aston Martin wings badge sits proudly on the nose. A bespoke 'CAUTION HOT' graphic has also been applied to the rear.
Inside the driver-focused cabin, the continuation of exposed carbon fibre is expansive, and swathes of Pure Black Alcantra are paired with a contrasting AMR Lime stitch. Fernando's famous logo can also be seen embroidered into the headrests in the same AMR Lime thread.
Possibly the most intricate detail is in fact one that most will not see: A red anodised aluminium accelerator pedal etched with the number '14', paying homage of course to Fernando's driver number, chosen at the age of 14 on 14 July 1996 when he became karting world champion with #14.
"It's hard to put into words how much I have been looking forward to this day," said Fernando.
"To sit at the wheel of my own Valkyrie; one that I have worked on designing so closely with the team at Q by Aston Martin is certainly a day to remember. Valkyrie truly is an F1 car for the road, with so much of the knowledge and technology taken from all the experience Aston Martin has on track and I can't wait to hit the road."
Accelerating from 0-60mph in under 2.5 seconds and boasting a hybrid 6.5-litre V12 powertrain developing a maximum power of 1,155PS, the Aston Martin Valkyrie incorporates a ferocious combination of F1-inspired aerodynamics and performance, delivering one of the most intense driving experiences achievable on the road.
Like all Aston Martin sports cars, Valkyrie is being built at the marque's UK Headquarters in Gaydon. A dedicated project delivery team manages the build right through to delivery in a specially commissioned Valkyrie production area. A team of highly skilled technicians hand-build each of the 150 cars, with each Valkyrie taking over 2000 man-hours to create.
Before each Valkyrie is delivered, it is track-tested at the Aston Martin high-performance facility at the home of the British motorsport, Silverstone, where much of the development of the hypercar has taken place.
Valkyrie is the latest addition to Fernando's enviable car collection, which also includes the stunning Aston Martin Valiant – the product of a unique collaboration between the two-time World Champion and Aston Martin to create the most extreme, front-engine, road car ever built by the marque.
