The British brand is already in the World Endurance Championship, but now they will compete in the ultimate division (hypercar division) against big brands like Ferrari, Toyota, and Porsche.
Aston Martin is one of the biggest luxury sports car brands in the world and they already have a hypercar named Valkyrie. It is a road-legal car with a 6.5 litre V12 engine for road and race track. The same machine will now be modified for the world’s greatest racing competition, the 24h Endurance championships.
The team had last won the 24H Le Mans in 1959. This time they will enter the WEC championship 2025 season starting in Qatar on February 28. The Valkyrie is not just a normal car, because it is completely made of Carbon fibre chassis, advanced Aero dynamics design, and a bespoke suspension system. This new Valkyrie is specially made for endurance racing competitions.
