Aston Martin’s Valkyrie Engine Is Pure Insanity

In the never ending quest manufacturers are on for more power, Aston Martin has unveiled their new Valkyrie engine pushing the envelope for hypercars everywhere.

Aston set out with a simple sounding, yet incredibly difficult goal, “to create the ultimate expression of the internal combustion engine.” Never has it been more appropriate to say, “mission accomplished.” The British manufacturer debuted their new 1,014hp at 10,500rpm naturally aspirated engine capable of revving has high as 11,000rpm and peak torque for the engine is 546lb.-ft at 7,000rpm. These numbers are representative of raw internal combustion power, but stand to be improved on.

By who?! You maybe wondering. Aston Martin themselves, of course. The Valkyrie’s power will get an added boost from a battery hybrid system which the company will release final numbers on at a later date. Until that date comes I suppose we will just have to settle for this 1,014hp naturally aspirated V12… Oh well.
