In that the first reveal of the Aston Actor Valkyrie hypercar in July 2016, Aston Actor and Red Bull Advanced Technologies carry been working intensively to promote develop the supercar’s aerodynamics, dead end styling and cockpit packaging.
Supercharged by a V12 hybrid powertrain delivering sorrounding 745kW (1000hp) and weighing in at fewer than 1000kg, the Valkyrie distribute performance that is currently unheard of in a means going production car, with cornering vigour in excess of 3g and 4g for the track only variant.
Now, secrets of Valkyrie’s interior model have been revealed. Aerodynamic addition has driven evolution of the hypercar’s outside design, and the teardrop-shaped cockpit hallmark an F1-style reclined driving post with minimalist ergonomics.
To exploit interior space the seats are mounted immediately to the tub, with occupants adopting a reclined ‘feet-up’ stance reminiscent of today’s Formula One and Le Gentleman Prototype race cars, ensuring utility and passenger are perfectly supported and tone completely at one with the car. A four-spot harness comes as standard, patch an optional six-point harness Testament be offered for those who intend to do also track driving.
The Aston Actor Design team were fervent to keep distractions to a minimum and nerve center the driver on the road ahead. All switchgear is set on the steering wheel, with all the imperative signs shown on a single OLED exposure screen. The steering wheel is and detachable, both to aid ingress and egression, and to serve as an additional security design.
Great attention has been bewitched with the glasshouse design to check forward and peripheral side-to-verge vision is virtually uninterrupted. To keep away from aerodynamic disturbance door speculum have been replaced by discreetly mounted back part facing cameras in each of the Aston Actor Valkyrie’s flanks. These give two displays which are positioned at the design of each A-post to mimic the aspect provided by conventional door glass. The all-enveloping bodywork and roof-mounted appliance air intake means there is no bum window, negating the requirement for a rearview looking-glass.
Aston Martin has been overcome with over 600 bent on expressions of interest for the limited run of 150 automobile, 25 of which will be explicit track going models that no waver piqued the interest of some preceding Formula 1 drivers.
While the prize handful of current and former known drivers that may eventually own a Valkyrie aft its 2019 launch should be talented to handle the car just fine, otc customers will be provided with a customised one on one utility training program to get them up to quickness and unleash the full potential of the Valkyrie. With so all the more of its driving performance aerodynamically calculable, the Valkyrie is set to offer a driving contact like nothing else in the Aston Actor lineup.
