Initially, the supercar was going to use an all-new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2020\/03\/aston-martin-shows-off-its-twin-turbo-3-0-liter-v6\/\">twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6<\/a> built in-house. However, Aston Martin made the switch to a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 in 2021, which sits at the heart of the plug-in hybrid powertrain of this lightly-disguised prototype.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2023\/12\/aston-martin-valhalla-hits-the-track-sporting-an-updated-design\/\">Aston Martin Valhalla Hits The Track Sporting An Updated Design<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Visually, the prototype looks very similar to the one that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/aston-martin\/\">Aston Martin<\/a> released photos of in late 2023 and is thought to be a track-focused AMR variant. Compared to the regular model presented in mid-2021, the test car sports new headlights, a larger front splitter, new rocker panels and side air intakes, distinctive wing mirrors, and a massive hydraulic rear wing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<p>  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];<br \/>\n  _taboola.push({<br \/>\n    mode: &#8216;thumbnails-a-mid&#8217;,<br \/>\n    container: &#8216;taboola-mid-article&#8217;,<br \/>\n    placement: &#8216;Mid Article&#8217;,<br \/>\n    target_type: &#8216;mix&#8217;<br \/>\n  });<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];<br \/>\n  _taboola.push({<br \/>\n    mode: &#8216;thumbnails-oc-2&#215;1&#8217;,<br \/>\n    container: &#8216;taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic&#8217;,<br \/>\n    placement: &#8216;Mid Article Thumbnails Organic&#8217;,<br \/>\n    target_type: &#8216;mix&#8217;<br \/>\n  });<\/p>\n<p>The car&rsquo;s V8 will produce 739 hp and be supplemented by three electric motors for a combined 998 hp or 1,012 PS and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. Mated to the 4.0-liter is an all-new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission driving the rear wheels through an electronic limited-slip differential. Aston Martin claims the car will need just 2.5 seconds to hit 62 mph (100 km\/h) and reach a top speed of 217 mph (350 km\/h).<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valhalla-2.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" Aston Martin Valhalla AMR Looks Sensational But Sounds Rather Dull At The &lsquo;Ring\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valhalla-2-1024x576.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><figcaption>Baldauf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2021\/07\/aston-martin-reveals-production-spec-valhalla-with-937-hp-hybrid-v8\/\">the Valhalla<\/a> has one heck of an engine, this prototype isn&rsquo;t very loud, particularly for a V8 with a flat-plane crank.
