Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing teams keep working on Aston
Martin Valkyrie, their so stunning project that will become even more
surprising within next months.
Indeed, even if the supercar is not available
for orders now it seems that the two houses are dedicating to improve each
detail, before one of the most surprising cars of this century hits the market.
UNFINISHED STORY
During the past year Aston Martin Valkyrie has been unveiled
to the public and more exactly in June 2016. Even if it has not been seen on
the roads yet, Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing teams are still working on it
to offer you the best before being able to drive it. And for now, the design
teams have focused on external style and aerodynamics.
Indeed Aston Martin Valkyrie’s enveloping bodywork has been
the common point of all preoccupations for the past months and particularly the
airflow through Venturi tunnels under the floor to rear diffusers. It appears
that these tunnels bring the car amazing downforce without encumbering the roof
parts. Then the outdoor style remains pure, simple and elegant.
Finally, the passenger’s position has been changed again to
never disturb Aston Martin Valkyrie’s driver and passengers’ vision.
FOCUS ON THE ROAD
Finally, the reclined ‘feet-up‘ position of Aston Martin
Valkyrie reminds us formula one’s pilots and Le Mans prototypes. They appear to
be safest, comfortable and enveloping. Moreover, there is a four-points harness
that comes as standard and you can order a six-point harness if you wish to do
more track driving.
Then Aston Martin Valkyrie has been designed to let the
driver free of driving without being disturbing and focus on the road thanks to
switch gears on the steering wheel as well as OLED screen display that allows
him to visualize the main road information. The steering wheel is also
removable and the glasses design allows visualizing the road and benefiting
from a peripheral side-to-side vision that is virtually uninterrupted.
Concerning the mirrors, two cameras incrusted in the car’s flanks have replaced
the classic ones!
MAKE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE
Design teams have no limit concerning Aston Martin Valkyrie
then the word “impossible” has been totally banished from the project. That is
why the supercar looks like no other road-going car and the only fact to go up
inside represent a real ritual itself.
Aston Martin Valkyrie outdoor look is not really different
from the first version except the air intakes, but many details of the body
have been modified and particularly the badges and LED lights. These correspond
to the team goal “form follows function”. So we are back to essentials with
aluminium details that are far lighter than the previous ones and thinnest.
Finally, the openings under the body surface close the front wheel arches also
bring more downforce to the whole car.
We still don’t know if the actual model will be the
definitive one but Aston Martin design teams are truly decided to make Aston
Martin Valkyrie a revolutionary supercar!
