Unveiled: Aston Martin's most daring track-focused vehicle - the Valkyrie LM
Aston Martin has recently introduced the Valkyrie LM, a rare and exclusive opportunity for enthusiasts to experience the thrill of piloting an FIA Hypercar without a factory race contract. This track-only special is a direct reflection of Aston Martin's 2025 WEC and IMSA race cars, offering an exquisite opportunity to be part of the brand's racing legacy.
The Valkyrie LM is a limited-edition vehicle, with only 10 examples set to be built. Each owner will receive a comprehensive fly-in-and-drive programme, which includes simulator preparation, professional coaching, telemetry analysis, and technical support across multiple F1-grade track days in 2026. The gear provided for the experience includes a helmet, fireproofs, and gloves.
Powered by a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated Cosworth V12 engine, the Valkyrie LM produces an impressive 520kW. The car retains the same race-tuned chassis as the Valkyrie Hypercar, featuring pushrod suspension, a seven-speed sequential gearbox, and F1-grade Pirelli tyres. The vehicle no longer uses closed-loop torque sensors and ballast, and its engine can accept standard track-day fuel.
Enrico Cardile, the Chief Technical Officer at Aston Martin, mentioned that the Valkyrie LM has been recalibrated for high-end privateers, with a more user-friendly cockpit setup and accessible power delivery. This recalibration ensures that the Valkyrie LM is not just a car, but a full-blown motorsport immersion.
According to CEO Adrian Hallmark, the Valkyrie LM offers an opportunity to get closer to the raw dynamic forces and state-of-the-art technology deployed by the hypercar currently competing. The experience culminates in a December dinner at Aston HQ in Gaydon, marking the end of an unforgettable journey for the lucky few who will own this extraordinary vehicle.
Pricing for the Valkyrie LM has not been disclosed yet, but it is clear that this is an investment for those who seek an unparalleled motorsport experience. The Valkyrie LM is part of Aston Martin's efforts to crank up the exclusivity dial, making it one of the most exclusive Aston Martin owners clubs in the world.
Owners of the Valkyrie LM will join an exclusive track programme with full factory support and coaching, making each track day an unforgettable experience. The Valkyrie LM is not just a car; it's a ticket to a world of high-speed thrills and motorsport history. Aston Martin has undoubtedly created a masterpiece for the most passionate car enthusiasts.
