AutoExec Summary
The Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH endurance race car has begun testing, impressively shown at Silverstone and Donnington Park circuits in the UK. A video highlights the hypercar’s powerful naturally-aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine. Aimed at winning the Le Mans 24 Hour since 1959, the Valkyrie will have around 500kW power and a 1030kg weight limit. Developed with Red Bull Racing’s Adrian Newey, it will omit hybrid components for weight reduction. Partnering with Heart of Racing, it will compete in the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech championship and the World Endurance Championship, including Le Mans.
