Saga Aston Martin Falki was great to follow. As far as 2019, it would go to Loman, then it was not thanks to the changes in sports car bases on the specifications of the Le Mans Hypercar. Officially, that was on the stop, then the Amr Pro came from the Road Car, which was only followed and felt that it was closest to the actual Falki contestant. This was revealed in 2021, and by the time of Valkyrie engines in 2023 – with spider’s disclosure – it seems that the idea of issuing motorsport has declined. Aston had enough to think, both on the road and the race.
But they connected without tension, and in October 2023, it was confirmed that Valkyrie Le Mans Hypercar would compete in Le Mans in 2025. The real thing has now been revealed, it is scheduled to race in both the World endurance championship and IMSA this season. Through cooperation between Aston Martin Performance Technologies and Heart of Racing, Valkyrie LMH will be the first Aston to target the general victory in La Sarthe since DBR1 in 1959.
The Kerry is noticeable for several other reasons as well. It is the first car to compete under the bases of LE Mans Hypercar that has a basis in the production model; All others – Think of Ferrari 499p, Porsche 963, Peugeot 9×8 – is a request on request. Now, of course, the Valkyrie is a car on the road like Noah Lyles is running – it drives the definition to the absolute end – but the point still exists. It is almost the modern McLaren F1, with a great V12 in the middle and very few, although Aston was definitely a always designed with the race more than McLaren. Valkyrie will also be the only hypercar – that is, one with a detailed structure, such as Ferrari and Toyota Gr So there will be a lot of opportunities to see it.
Heard this, of course – the fact that this is the Aston Martin Racing with a V12 engine is definitely the most exciting side. Many of the latest generation looks great – V8 Cadillac, V8, significantly – but Valkyrie with a capacity of 6.5 liters is another level again. Cosworth V12 was separated from 1,000 standard horsepower to a place in the area from 680 hp due to the regulations, but the work allowed Aston Martin to better form a unit for the Motorsport striker from the highest level. Since it does not need to make a lot of energy, it does not need high, and you should reduce the low engine speed of friction losses. The torque curve has been modified with fuel consumption efficiency in mind. Certainly, it promises to be an interesting match against the hybrid, indicating that the V12 “had a durability from its inception to suit the high service course as a car on the road.” There is a hint of sound In a humor clip – Believing to say that he will let you want more.
Dynamically, the Falki racing car is of course changed from the road reward but not completely turned. Motorsport has always been part of the plan. Adam Carter, President of Aston’s Enduance Motorsport, says, “It will be almost unable to imagine Adrian. [Newey]One of the greatest car designers in history, to design a car and not think about it in the race at some point. Thus, the main changes are those required for the race, including rapid change of body, air cranes and rapid conjunction of refueling. The back wing is certainly more extreme, as one central spine is identified from other factions that lead to a wing of elements.
Energy reaches the background Michelin – identical to all competitors – via the XTRAC sequence seven speeds; The braking is by Alcon and AP Racing carbon tablets. Aston says that the suspension of dual collarbone benefits from “improved engineering” as well as vibrant sprain pipelines on both sides.

With Valkyrie competing in two championships, Aston will need many drivers, with two cars in WeC and Thor Blue Car in IMSA. The driving of the former pair of green cars will be Henry Tinkensel, who won his chapter in Loman in Aston five years ago, Tom Gamble, Marco Sorensen and Alex Ribras. Expect the announcement of more names before Loman. The four that were already announced in the race all the eight rounds – Qatar, IMOLA, Spa, Le Manz, Interlago, Kuta, Fuji, Bahrain – from 2025 WeC. The Falki Honoring GTP will be in the IMSA 11 campaign Ross Gun and Roman de Anjis. Since the test began last summer, 15,000 km has been placed all over the world, from Donington Park to Daytona. “You can always be on the road, but I am happy with how to present the program and with the reliability that we have shown,” said team manager Ian James. “The entire team, from the design to Ampt, from the manufacturing element to the race team, I couldn’t be happier in how everything is merged.”
Exciting times, then, for Aston Martin fans, sports race fans, and anyone who loves high V12 (so all). The current bases of the World Enforcement Championship for some glorious racing cars and great car sport, and everything indicates that Falki will not only strengthen this reputation. The possibility of the Aston Martin race that looks like this, goes to the wheels with Ferrari, Porsche, BMW and the rest, is one to taste. With Genesis to follow next year, and Ford in the following year.
Aston Adrian Halmark CEO said: “This is a proud moment for Aston Martin. Return to the struggle for general honor in 24 hours of LE MANS is at the core of our values and represents a milestone in our caring heritage. As the only Hypercar that was born from the road To challenge the highest sports car racing in both WEC and IMSA, Valkyrie is an embodiment of our permanent sporting spirit, which has set the brand for more than a century. The opening match for the IMSA season was Daytona last month, and we started in Qatar later in February. Whenever it arrives, it appears that there is little chance to lose another contestant in Aston.
