Fernando Alonso received his new Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar, a project developed in collaboration with Red Bull's chief technical officerNewey collaborated extensively with the British automaker on the development of the Valkyrie, a hypercar designed to provide the closest experience to driving a Formula 1 car while remaining road-legal. Alonso received his personalized version, complete with unique touches like his racing number 14 prominently featured on the accelerator pedal.
Alonso debuted his new Valkyrie hypercar outside the iconic Monte Carlo Bay Hotel, flaunting a unique specification crafted in partnership with Aston Martin's bespoke service, Q by Aston Martin. The Spaniard, who also contributed to the development of the hypercar, revealed his feelings in a "Valkyrie truly is an F1 car for the road, with so much of the knowledge and technology taken from all the experience Aston Martin has on track and I can't wait to hit the road."Aston Martin claims the Valkyrie can cross the 60 mph barrier from a standstill in 2.5 seconds, courtesy of its 1155PS hybrid 6.5-liter V12 powertrain, combined with F1-inspired aerodynamics and performance.
As a result, Newey was rumored to be in discussions with several F1 teams regarding his plans for 2025 following his departure announcement from Red Bull in May. Speculation intensified around Aston Martin as his likely next destination, particularly after he was seen at the team's new Silverstone factory in June.
