First photos of Aston Martin’s Valkyrie AMR-LMH on track
This is your first look at the Valkyrie AMR-LMH, the car Aston Martin will take to Le Mans in 2025. The development phase is well underway, with an initial shakedown completed last week before the car’s eventual entry into the IMSA and WEC championships next year.
‘We know we are going up against the best, so we intend to represent Aston Martin at the same level. I believe, from what we have seen so far, and with the DNA of where this car came from, I think we have the right tools to be able to do this successfully. As you’d expect, the race version of the Valkyrie features an increased amount of aero, with the road car’s prototype silhouette sprouting a few extra fins and carbonfibre pieces. Underneath, the 6.5-litre Cosworth V12 power unit remains, albeit now running leaner and more robustly to meet its new performance regulations and demands – and without the benefit of hybrid power.Development will continue, and the test program will soon move from the UK to other European tracks.
‘And that’s also great opportunity in terms of still you come down to the downfalls but how many sensitivities and so as all those opportunities come there. And so rather than just turning the dial, it’s about if we turn this dial down what else can we turn up elsewhere to get the most performance.’
