Limited to a production 999 units The 2026 Aston Martin Valhalla is a 4.0 L, V8 , mid-engine 1064 hp hybrid supercar. Valhalla was first teased by Aston Martin in 2019 and now they have released the details about Valhalla the deliveries of which are slated to be started from Q2 of 2025.
2026 Aston Martin Valhalla: First Plug-In-Hybrid
Valhalla is officially the Aston Martin’s first Plug-In-Hybrid. The Valhalla is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine with 3 electric motors. This makes Aston Martin in direct competition, over specs, with Ferrari SF90 & Lamborghini Revuelto both 4.0L, V8s with 03 electric motors.
E-Motors
03 E-motors of Aston Martin Valhalla 2026 are powered by an advanced High-Performance Battery (HPB) system designed specifically for use in a performance focused PHEV powertrain
Cooling System
The HPB’s cooling system uses a specialized electrically non-conductive coolant that flows through the entire battery pack, keeping all 560 individual cells at their ideal temperature. This helps maintain peak performance consistently, even under demanding conditions.
2026 Aston Martin Valhalla: Powertrain
The Valhalla’s hybrid setup pairs a newly developed 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 828 PS with three electric motors that add another 251 PS. Two of these motors are positioned on the front axle, while the third is integrated into the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The rear axle is driven by the V8 engine, with additional power fed from the third electric motor built into the DCT transmission.
Having that said Valhalla will be taking power from a bespoke 828PS flat plane crank 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine & three E-motors delivering a further 251PS so a combined power output of astounding 1079PS / 1100Nm PHEV.
2026 Aston Martin Valhalla: 0 to 62 mph
Aston Martin claims the Valhalla will be doing 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds and a top electronically limited speed of 217 mph, so definitely not an acceleration queen but it easily is among the world’s quickest.
The V8 flat plain crank 4.0 L engine is set up with a new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, routing power to the rear wheels incorporating the e-motor and an electronic rear differential.
There is no reverse gear the reverse drive is supported by the front e-motors.
During steady cruising or stop-and-go traffic, the electric motors can take over to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce the load on engine.
Aston Martin Valhalla 2026 Thermal Management System
Aston Martin Valhalla features an advanced thermal management system which is designed to optimize the performance of its Plug-In Hybrid Powertrain.
The car is equipped with three high-temperature radiators at the front for the 4.0-litre Twin-Turbo V8 engine, along with a smaller radiator for the HV system and a condenser for refrigerant system, which cools the cabin and battery.
Additionally, a battery chiller is located inside the clamshell and is cooled by the refrigerant system. The F1 inspired roof scoop supplies air to two charge coolers mounted above the engine. The system is completed by two side radiators, which cool engine oil and transmission oil, with air directed to them by the door turning vanes.
Body of Valhalla
The Valhalla is built around a carbon-fiber monocoque with aluminum subframes at both the front and rear, having a dry weight of 1,655kg.
At the rear, a multi-link suspension is employed, with adaptive dampers at all four corners provided by Bilstein.
Braking & Wheels
For braking, the Valhalla is equipped with Brembo carbon-ceramic discs, measuring 16.1 inches at the front and 15.4 inches at the rear & has a brake-by-wire braking system. Valhalla comes fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires & is compatible with 20-inch or 21-inch wheel size.
The Valhalla features two types of regenerative braking. “CAT B” engages the front e-motors to decelerate the car and recharge the battery when the brakes are applied, while “CAT A” activates the rear e-motor to regenerate energy when the driver lifts off the throttle.
2026 Aston Martin Valhalla: Driving Modes
Valhalla offers you four drive modes—Sport, Sport+, Race, and Pure EV—each mode has unique characteristics which gets reflected in everything from powertrain, suspension stiffness and steering calibration.
When startup Valhalla selects Sports mode as default while driver is able to switch to other modes manually.
In all driving modes except for the Race mode, the active rear wing remains out of sight & within the bodywork for a sleeker look.
Being the first Aston Martin with a dedicated EV drive mode, clear graphics are displayed on to the driver display showing Valhalla’s energy deployment, electric power, and subsequent energy regeneration.
PURE EV-MODE
In Pure EV mode, Aston Martin Valhalla drives from the front-axle motors only & it provides you with a range of 8.7miles (14km) and a top speed limited to 80mph (140km/h).
Race Car Aerodynamics
Valhalla sports an intelligent aerodynamic system, claimed to produce 1323 pounds (600 kg) of downforce between 149 and 217 mph (240 & 350 km/h).
When Valhalla is on put on the Race mode the rear wing emerges via hydraulic arms & sits 255 mm above the bodywork. When Valhalla needs heavy braking, the rear wing serves as an air brake to produce drag and help slow down the car.
Technical Triumph
The Valhalla claims to achieve a technical triumph by managing to install a concealed front wing which sits just ahead of the front axle.
Race mode employs the front wing to create maximum downforce while in default position it functions to reduce drag under acceleration for a higher top speed. Two very different functions achieved with same thing is quite an innovation.
Aston Martin Valhalla Color Options
The carbon fiber body of the Valhalla is offered in either a painted finish or it can be taken as exposed carbon.
Customers can also personalize the exterior with the option of an upper or lower pack, adding visual carbon fiber accents.
Additionally, all exterior carbon panels can be chosen with either a gloss or satin lacquer finish. Still want even a more striking appearance, the lacquer can be tinted in red, blue, or green.
Valhalla also offers the option of six custom livery themes, inspired by Aston Martin’s motorsport legacy across various racing series.
Aston Martin Valhalla Exterior
The striking forward-hinged dihedral doors contribute to the supercar’s dramatic presence while careful design and engineering of the monocoque and doors make entry and exit easier.
Features such as lowered sills, roof cut-outs, and a forward-positioned A-pillar significantly enhance accessibility.
The dihedral hinge allows the door to lift and move away from the driver and passenger, enabling them to easily slide into the custom carbon fiber seats and effortlessly swing their legs into the cabin.
Door Turning Vane
Valhalla’s Doors incorporate one of its most innovative aerodynamic element, known as the door turning vane, this feature directs airflow from the front wheel arch down the sides of the car and into ducts that improve the performance of the V8 engine and transmission oil coolers.
Aston Martin Valhalla Interiors
The Valhalla’s cockpit is heavily influenced by the extreme Valkyrie hypercar, incorporating Formula One® elements to create a refined, minimalist environment.
Key design features include elevated footwells for a low hip-to-heel seating position and lightweight, one-piece carbon fiber seats that provide maximum support.
The New HMI System
Valhall’s HMI system delivers a clear, driver-focused display that provides essential road and track information. During road driving, the display also features a full-screen navigation map for improved convenience.
Valhalla also introduces customizable ADAS modes that allow drivers to adjust the level of intervention based on their driving needs.
Customization
As with all Aston Martin vehicles, Valhalla owners can explore endless customization options through the Q by Aston Martin service.
Aston Martin Valhalla Pricing & Availability
Aston Martin had earlier planned to limit the Valhalla to 500 numbers but now they decided to be generous & increase the numbers to 999 units. Aston Martin said deliveries are set to begin in the Q2 of 2025 & the Valhalla is expected to be priced at around $1 million.
