VALKYRIE
A/W 2025
An Aston Martin Valkyrie races at the
World Endurance Championship.
ASTON MARTIN VALKYRIE
Few names carry the same weight as
Aston Martin. Founded in 1913 and forever
entwined with the suave Bond franchise,
Aston Martin 昀氀awlessly blends elegance
with high-powered performance. Its latest
supercar o昀昀ering is the striking Valkyrie.
Developed in collaboration with Red Bull
Advanced Technologies, the Valkyrie, at
昀椀rst glance, looks less like a road car and
more like a racing prototype, leaving you in
no doubt of its powerful pedigree. In fact,
it’s about as close as you can get to driving
a road-legal Formula 1 car.
Its naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 engine
certainly packs a punch – 1140bph, a top
speed of 220mph, and a rapid 0-60mph in
just 2.5 seconds. But it's the mighty roar of
the engine that has the industry in raptures.
At 126 decibels, it’s even louder than some
jets at take-o昀昀, so it’s hardly surprising that
a pair of sophisticated noise-cancelling
headphones is standard on each car.
ARTURA
LAMBORGHINI REVUELTO
Setting the benchmark
for speed, performance,
and aesthetics, the
Lamborghini Miura,
which debuted in 1966,
is often considered the
first true supercar.
Setting the benchmark for speed, performance, and aesthetics,
the Lamborghini Miura, which debuted in 1966, is often considered
the 昀椀rst true supercar. Today, the Revuelto carries that legacy
into the modern era.
At its heart is a ferocious 6.5L V12 engine, now paired with three
high-density electric motors in Lamborghini’s 昀椀rst foray into
plug-in hybrid technology. Together, they deliver e昀昀ortless
acceleration from 0-100mph in under 5 seconds and a top speed
exceeding 217mph, preserving the brand’s signature drama and
jaw-dropping performance.
Opening the butter昀氀y doors reveals a generously sized cabin with
luxurious, intuitive features. Pair that with dynamic steering and
e昀昀ective dampening, and you’ve got a machine equally at home
cruising city streets as it is devouring racetracks.
