Aston Martin Reveals Valhalla Spider: A 1,079 PS Open-Cockpit Supercar
Written with artificial intelligence.
Aston Martin has launched the Valhalla Spider, its first mid-engined open-cockpit production supercar, achieving a top speed of 350 km/h. The vehicle will make its public debut at the 2026 Concours in Las Vegas, with deliveries expected to start in the third quarter of 2027.
Overview of the Valhalla Spider
The Aston Martin Valhalla Spider, unveiled as the marque’s fastest convertible, follows the mid-engined Valhalla Coupe. Developed in collaboration with Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT), this hybrid supercar aims to deliver the Coupe’s dynamic performance in an open-air format.
Key Features
- Engine and Performance: The Valhalla Spider features a powertrain similar to the Coupe, combining internal combustion with electric assistance for a total output of 1,079 PS. The torque distribution is managed in real-time via Aston Martin's Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Control (IVC) system.
- Aerodynamics: Despite lacking a fixed roof, the Spider maintains over 600 kg of downforce at speed, aided by active aerodynamic surfaces and an electronic management system that adjusts the aero balance based on the roof configuration.
- Construction and Design: It boasts a lightweight carbon fibre monocoque chassis formed through advanced moulding techniques to ensure rigidity and performance. The vehicle also includes a clip-in wind deflector for improved airflow and reduced turbulence.
Interior and Comfort
Inside, the Valhalla Spider features a new Carbon Fibre Touring Seat designed for comfort, with an option for the track-focused carbon bucket seats. This setup aims to enhance daily usability without compromising on performance.
Availability
Customer orders for the Valhalla Spider are now open, with global deliveries expected to commence in the third quarter of 2027 following its premiere at the 2026 Concours at Wynn Las Vegas.
