Listen to the 1,100bhp Aston Martin Valkyrie SCREAM

Sometimes, you just need to hear a 6.5-litre nat-asp V12 at full volume

Published: 04 Oct 2018

Aston Martin is building a street (and non-street) legal hypercar called Valkyrie. It is being powered by a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 designed and built by Cosworth.

Now we can reveal that said 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 built by Cosworth sounds utterly, tremendously excellent. You too can discover this revelation by hitting play above.

What else is there to say? Cosworth recently told TG how this massive V12 will produce “two to three hundred more horsepower” than any other V12 road car engine. It’ll also be the most powerful naturally-aspirated engine ever built.

Which means you’re listening to the very angry, scary end of 1,100bhp, or thereabouts. That engine is matched to a seven-speed Ricardo gearbox, a hybrid boost system built by Rimac, packaged inside a Multimac carbon tub, brought to a halt by Alcon carbon ceramics and kept in check by a Bosch stability system.

Big names. Big noise.
