Fernando Alonso unleashes Aston Martin Valhalla on the streets of Monaco

Aston Martin Valhalla makes its global public dynamic debut with Fernando Alonso behind the wheel ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix.

Driven by Aston Martin Aramco driver and two-time Formula One World Champion, Fernando Alonso, Valhalla took to the iconic Monaco street circuit ahead of F1 Free Practice, having recently completed final validation testing both on road and on track.

Valhalla has already captured the world's attention with its fusion of Formula One performance-driven technologies. Close collaboration with Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT) – the consulting arm of Aston Martin Aramco – on dynamics, aerodynamics and materials have brought an extra dimension to the design and development of Valhalla.

Having only appeared in public on static display until now, this was the supercar's first dynamic public performance, highlighting its cutting-edge hybrid powertrain, superior handling, and unparalleled driving dynamics – not to mention its scintillating design.

Fernando said: "Having followed this project closely for the past 18 months and working alongside the development team, unveiling Valhalla's dynamic capability to the world at the Monaco Grand Prix weekend is a fantastic moment for both myself and the brand.

"Taking Aston Martin's unmatched luxury credentials and added cutting-edge F1-inspired technology and class-leading performance, I can confirm Valhalla is a true supercar both on road and on track. Outside of the outright power and dynamics, it delivers on all of the raw feelings and emotions you look for when behind the wheel of a car like Valhalla."

Adrian Hallmark, Aston Martin CEO said: "The extreme performance and unprecedented dynamic bandwidth that distinguishes Valhalla from its rivals presented many new opportunities to both the engineering and design teams throughout its development.

"To witness the culmination of the tireless work from all teams involved, showcased on an iconic F1 circuit like Monaco and driven by an icon like Fernando is a significant moment in Aston Martin's rich history of both road cars and racing."
