After the cancellation of last year’s show, Aston Martin is using this week’s Goodwood Festival of Speed 2021 to debut its Valkyrie hypercar.

The Valkyrie will take on the famous Hillclimb past Goodwood House in the ‘Supercar’ batch.  Accelerating from 0-100km/h in under 2.5 seconds and powered by an almighty, naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine.

It will be driven by Aston Martin Cognizant Formula OneTM Team driver Lance Stroll on Saturday  (UK time).

The all new Aston Martin Vantage F1® Edition will also be seen sprinting up the 1.16-mile (1.86km) course.  

Drivers also include Aston Martin CEO Tobias Moers, EVP and Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman and three-time Le Mans winner Darren Turner who will all make Hillclimb appearances over the weekend.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed takes place from 8-11 July.

The all-new Aston Martin Vantage F1® Edition will also compete.
