The road-bred hypercar is set to make its competition debut in 2025, entering both the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (IMSA). The goal? Nothing less than outright victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Unlike its competitors, which are purpose-built for racing, the Valkyrie starts life as a street-legal hypercar before being redeveloped for the track. With a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 at its core—detuned to 680 horsepower to meet regulations—this will compete with the Cadillac V Series.R for best sounding car on the grid.

Aston Martin will field two Valkyries in WEC under The Heart of Racing (THOR) banner, with an all-British squad of Harry Tincknell, Tom Gamble, and Ross Gunn in the #007 (yes, that is a James Bond reference in case you were wondering). Marco Sørensen and Alex Riberas will handle the #009. IMSA gets a single entry, driven by Gunn and Roman De Angelis.

The car has already undergone 15,000km of testing across circuits like Silverstone, Daytona, and Qatar. Despite regulations capping performance, Aston Martin believes the Valkyrie’s road-to-race DNA will give it an edge in efficiency and reliability—key factors in endurance racing.

“This is a proud moment for Aston Martin,” CEO Adrian Hallmark said. “We’re back in the fight for overall Le Mans honours with a car that stays true to our racing heritage.”

With a stunning green livery and some of endurance racing’s best drivers, Aston is aiming to come out swinging.
