This is the new Aston Martin Valhalla, the British brand’s first-ever mid-engine PHEV supercar. Its £850,000 list price is steep compared with the likes of the Ferrari 849 Testarossa and Lamborghini Revuelto, and its 1064bhp isn’t markedly better either. But, if it can offer the hypercar vibes Aston claims it does, and feel more like a cut-price Ferrari F80 than an amped-up 849, then the Valhalla might have a new niche all itself. To find out, in this review we drive the new Aston Martin Valhalla on road and track.
