JAKARTA - A rare opportunity to have a revolutionary hypercar, Aston Martin Valkyrie, is coming soon at the auction held in Dubai.
RM Sotheby's auction house will auction Aston Martin Valkyrie Coupe for production 2023 on March 9 with an estimated price of between 2.9 million and US$3.3 million or equivalent to Rp45.5 billion-Rp51.8 billion.
What makes this car so special and so expensive?
Launching the RM Sotheby's page, quoted March 4, this hand-constructed car produced in the UK is one of 150 units produced in the world inspired by the Aston martin Formula 1 car. As a result, this car is a definition of performance without compromise. Equipped with a 6.5-liter V12 Cosworth engine assisted by an electric motor, Valkyrie is capable of throwing up to 1,140 dk of power. Acceleration of 0-100 km/hour only takes 2.6 seconds, with a peak speed of more than 400 km/hour.
But wild performance is not everything. Valkyrie was born from Aston Martin's collaboration with Red Bull Racing, where the aerodynamic maestro Adrian Newey took part. The result? This car almost resembles an F1 car but is legal to drive on the streets.
Light weight is the main key. Not a single steel component is used in Valkyrie. The entire body is made of carbon fiber, in order to pursue a weight to power ratio close to 1:1. In fact, the Aston Martin emblem which is usually made of sixels is replaced by a 99.4% lighter aluminum version.
No wonder the resulting downforce reaches 1,100 kilograms, exceeding even F1 car capabilities. Valkyrie's driving experience is claimed to be brutal, spur adrenaline with a combination of speed, sound of agar engines, and agile handling.
The unit, which will be auctioned off in Dubai, has only walked 123 kilometers and looks stunning in a Scintilla Silver color with contrasted Speed Red accents. The interior combines a sporty black Alcantara, carbon fiber, and Spice Red accents.
As Valkyrie's first to enter the auction hall, the car is believed to attract supercar collectors and true lovers of the Aston Martin brand in the Middle East.
