The automotive world was intrigued by the publication of a short video on TikTok, which shows the testing of the new, extremely extreme hypercar of the brand Aston Martin. Although official details about the vehicle are still not available, audiovisual analysis suggests that it is a project that represents a direct combination of Formula 1 technology and the already established Valkyrie model, with a hint of “Batmobile”.
The prototype was filmed leaving an unidentified race track, and its specifics are noticeable at first glance – it is an advanced single-seater with an integrated cockpit protection system (Halo). The design of the vehicle is characterized by advanced aerodynamic solutions that exceed the standards of road cars, the vehicle is extremely wide, and the front end has similarities with the Valkyrie model.

Experts have already spotted double cross shoulders and pushrod suspension. There is also a sharp nose of the car with pylons connecting the lower splitter, which achieves optimal airflow, which is crucial for stability at high speeds. The rear part of the prototype, although harder to see, brings a massive wide wing and a centrally placed exhaust system. Above the cockpit is dominated by a large air intake that continues into a striking “shark fin”, a visual element similar to the Valkyrie LM model.
This configuration suggests that the engineers are aiming to generate extreme levels downforceeven over 1,800 kilograms as produced by the standard Valkyrie model. Although the audio quality is questionable, the prevailing opinion is that it is the sound of the hybrid V12 powertrain. In the video, the internal combustion engine can be heard shutting down when going off the track, after which the vehicle continues to move in complete silence using the electric drive. It is speculated that it is an improved version of Cosworth’s 6.5-liter engine, which in its current configuration reaches 11,000 revolutions per minute.
The current hybrid system in the Valkyrie delivers a combined 1,160 horsepower, and the new prototype could increase that. So far, Aston Martin has not issued an official statement about the nature of the tested vehicle or its technical specifications, so everything remains only speculation.
