A truly astonishing feat of engineering, this 2022-model-year example has been consigned to auction by its original owner. The Valkyrie’s odometer remarkably reads just 109 kilometers at the time of cataloging.
Ordered new to Japan, factory records show that this left-hand-drive, European-specification car carries an October 19, 2022, build date. It was finished predominantly in Lunar White, with the exterior also featuring a gloss carbon roof panel and striking red graphic strakes. Red calipers for the enormous carbon-ceramic brakes nestle behind Satin Black Magnesium wheels, which are remarkably lighter than their accompanying tires. In addition, almost £120,000 was spent on options, with this Valkyrie gaining a polished carbon engine plenum, Inconel exhaust system with black finishers, plus a gloss carbon engine cover.
As for the compact cockpit, a copy of the build sheet records that the racing-style seats were trimmed in Pure Black Deboss Alcantara complemented by Twill Satin carbon fiber for the roof inserts. To match the exterior accents, the optional six-point race harness and anodized switchgear were specified in red, while the stitching is listed as “Spicy Red.” This Valkyrie was sold new on March 10, 2023, ahead of a service being carried out on November 24 later that year, with the car then recorded at 84 kilometers. The car is offered with an Aston Martin Certificate of Conformity.
Given the very limited numbers in which the Valkyrie was produced, here is an incredible opportunity to purchase an as-new coupe example that would surely be among the crowning glories of any significant sports-car or motorsport-inspired collection.
