Aston Martin Valkyrie LM: A Track-Only Hypercar Masterpiece Unveiled
Colaboradores
Aston Martin continues to push the boundaries of performance and exclusivity with the unveiling of the Valkyrie LM, a track-only variant of their already impressive Valkyrie hypercar. Limited to just 10 examples, this non-homologated version of the LMH racer promises an unparalleled driving experience for amateur enthusiasts.
Valkyrie LM: From Le Mans to Track Days
The Valkyrie LM is a fascinating evolution, drawing inspiration from the Valkyrie AMR Pro and the Valkyrie LMH race car competing in the World Endurance Championship (WEC) and IMSA. Aston Martin has essentially reverse-engineered the Valkyrie LM from the AMR Pro base design, ensuring it meets the strict aerodynamic and power regulations of Hypercar and GTP racing.
Unlike the race-spec LMH, the Valkyrie LM is designed with accessibility in mind. While retaining the raw power and advanced technology, Aston Martin has made key modifications to make it suitable for track day use by amateur drivers. This includes removing race-specific elements like ballast and FIA-regulation electronics, and implementing a bespoke cockpit interface tailored for a more user-friendly experience.
Power and Performance
Under the hood, the Valkyrie LM boasts a modified, lean-burn version of the LMH's Cosworth-built 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine. While tuned to the same regulation-limited 520kW (697bhp), it's been recalibrated to accept readily available fuel, making it more practical for track day outings. This rear-wheel-drive beast is poised to deliver breathtaking performance and an unforgettable soundtrack.
A Limited-Edition Masterpiece
With only 10 units planned for production, the Aston Martin Valkyrie LM is destined to become a highly sought-after collector's item. It represents the pinnacle of Aston Martin's engineering prowess and a testament to their dedication to pushing the limits of automotive performance. The Valkyrie LM provides a rare opportunity to experience the thrill of a Le Mans-inspired hypercar in a more accessible and personalized format. Get ready to dominate the track.
