It’s taken a long time getting here, but the Aston Martin Valhalla is finally within sight of the finish line. Aston Martin announced this past December that it will finally begin deliveries of its eagerly anticipated plug-in hybrid in 2025, six years after the vehicle was first teased as the AM-RB 003 concept at the Geneva Motor Show. The car, which you can catch a glimpse of in the 2021 James Bond film, No Time to Die, looks as futuristic as it did back then, but its powertrain has evolved some over the years. The setup, which was developed in conjunction with the automaker’s Formula 1 team, features a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 with three electric motors that combine to put out over 1,000 hp. That’s well over 100 horses more than the British marque promised when they showed off a near-production version of the car back in 2021. Unsurprisingly, the Valhalla will be priced around $1 million and be limited to just 999 examples.
