Aston Martin hopes its new Valkyrie AMR-LMH will give the company its first outright victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans since 1959.
A trio of drivers took turns behind the wheel of the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH for its first shakedown laps at Silverstone and Donington Park last week as it ramps up testing for its 2025 race debut. The new Hypercar, developed by Aston Martin Performance Technologies and works team The Heart of Racing, will serve as the automaker's attempt at capturing the top prize at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2025.
The other thing that sets the Valkyrie AMR-LMH apart is it is the first racing car to be built to LMH regulations to contest both the WEC and IMSA championships simultaneously.In the heart of the carbon fiber chassis sits a Cosworth-built 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V-12 engine. The road-going version of that engine spins to 11,000 rpm and produce over 1000 horsepower, but that number should be reduced to around 670 hp to meet LMH regulations. So, it will be fast but also sound incredible.
