It comprises a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine, an electric motor mounted in the gearbox, a lightweight battery pack and a Kinetic energy recovery System (KERS), which is similar to the technology found in the British brand’s formula One racers.
Aston Martin says the powertrain has enough grunt to propel the Valkyrie Spider to a top speed of 205mph with the roof off. install the roof panel and that figure climbs to 217mph thanks to the improved aerodynamics it brings.
However, while the engine remains unchanged over the hard-top car, Aston Martin has had to make a few modifications to the Valkyrie Spider’s chassis to compensate for the strength lost by removing the roof.
