[Mediapen=Kim Sang-jun] Aston Martin announced the upcoming display of its new hypercar ‘Valhalla’ in Seoul.
Valhalla is Aston Martin’s third mid-engined hypercar in collaboration with Red Bull Advanced Technologies successing ‘Valkyrie’.
Following the company’s tradition of naming the cars with the first letter ‘V’ based on Norse mythology, Valhalla is named after the warrior’s paradise celebrated in ancient Norse mythology.
While sharing the same fundamental styling and aerodynamic philosophy with Valkyrie, Valhalla is the first model of Aston Martin to use a V6 hybrid-turbo engine.
Valhalla benefits from next-generation aircraft morphing technology, creating a variable airfoil across the entirety of the rear wing. Its flexi-foil wing alters the amount of downforce on the car without changing its angle. This nearly eliminates drag, turbulence and wind noise.
According to Aston Martin, Valhalla will star in the next James Bond series ‘Bond 25’. Only 500 units will be available across the world, and the estimated price in Korea is 2 billion won.
Valhalla will be on display in COEX from August 1st to 4th.
