Aston Martin Goes WEC And IMSA Racing With Valkyrie Hypercar

This is the only hypercar racer installed with a high-revving, naturally-aspirated V12

The car will make its competitive debut at the Qatar 1812KM on February 28. Two Valkyrie Hypercars will compete in WEC, and one will compete in IMSA. Like the road car, the racer sports a 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12. This year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans is shaping up to be a rather special one as the Aston Martin Valkyrie is finally going racing, and this is the special model that’ll hit the track.

Perhaps of more importance than the crazy design is the powertrain. The Valkyrie Hypercar is the only car compete in the top class of WEC and IMSA to feature a V12 engine. It rocks the same basic 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated mill as the road car. However, whereas the customer-spec Valkyrie delivers over 1,000 hp, this engine will be capped at 680 hp to comply with hypercar regulations.
