The track-only Valkyrie LM bears close resemblance to the hypercar it is derived from.
Aston Martin introduced the Valkyrie LM, a track-only version of its Le Mans Hypercar, before the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
It is based on the Valkyrie Hypercar that competes in the WEC and IMSA Championships, sharing the same 6.5-liter V12 engine delivering 520kW (697bhp).
Unlike its racing counterpart, the LM version is free from FIA regulations, omitting electronic systems and using a bespoke driver interface and torque control system.
Another change includes using high-performance Pirelli tires instead of Michelin racing slicks.
Only 10 Valkyrie LMs will be made, with pricing details yet to be revealed and deliveries starting in 2026.
Owners will join a driver development program led by professional engineers and driver coaches, with Aston Martin providing support for storage, maintenance, and on-track assistance.
The goal is to offer customers an authentic Hypercar track experience with the Valkyrie LM.
