Crowds have been stunned at the Geneva Motor Show
following the world premiere of the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro. Based around
the already-insane road-going Valkyrie, the AMR Pro takes performance to new
heights. If the claimed performance figures and times are achieved, it will be
the fastest road car-based vehicle of its kind around a racetrack.
Powering the Valkyrie AMR Pro is a
naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine sourced from Cosworth. Supplemented
with an electric motor, grunt is expected to surpass 1100 hp but at this stage,
no final figures have been confirmed.
It is a similar story concerning the vehicle’s
overall weight. Aston Martin says it will tip the scales at roughly 1000 kg but has yet to give a final number for the production car. Either
way, it will certainly exceed a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio and a top speed in
the region of 362 km/h is expected.
In person at Geneva, the aerodynamic elements of the
Valkyrie AMR Pro really catch the eye. In fact, a fully-grown person could
probably fit in each of the tunnels present within the rear diffuser. There are
also numerous exposed carbon fiber elements across the exterior. Extreme
doesn’t even big to describe it.
