Story from Jam Press (David Coulthard Aston Martin)
Pictured: 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie Coupé.
Blisteringly-quick Aston Martin on sale for £2.3m – and ex-F1 champ David Coulthard is a fan
A stunning Aston Martin, similar to one owned by ex-racing driver, David Coulthard is set to sell for £2.3million.
This magnificent 2022 Valkyrie Coupé is the ultimate road-legal hypercar.
Former Brit race ace, turned F1 presenter, once owned a model just like it.
Only 150 examples were ever built by the British luxury car manufacturer.
The impressive vehicle is powered by an electric motor-assisted Cosworth V-12 engine.
It allows the car to reach a hair-raising top speed of 248mph
The Valkyrie Coupé can go from 0-60mph in just 2.6 seconds.
The engine gives the vehicle a whopping 1,160 bhp.
It was co-designed by the multiple Formula 1 championship-winning designer, Adrian Newey.
The exterior is finished in lunar white with a gloss carbon roof featuring red graphic strakes.
Inside the car is a pure black deboss Alcantara interior that is complemented by spicy red stitching.
Despite being two years old, the motor has just 67 miles on the clock, as reported by Luxury Auto News.
It is now set to fetch a huge sum at an auction in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
RM Sotheby’s, which is hosting the auction, stated: “The original ‘Nebula’ internal codename for what would eventually become the Valkyrie was entirely fitting.
“Aerospace-grade engineering runs throughout this full carbon fibre, road-legal hypercar that is capable of single-seater levels of performance.
“A truly astonishing feat of engineering, this 2022 model year example has been consigned to auction by its original owner.
“The Valkyrie’s odometer remarkably reads just 109 kilometres at the time of cataloguing.
“Given the very limited numbers in which the Valkyrie was produced, here is an incredible opportunity to purchase an as-new coupé example that would surely be among the crown
