TL;DR Summary

Aston Martin's limited edition Valkyrie supercar, with only 150 examples produced, features a Cosworth-developed 6.5-liter V12 engine that revs up to 11,000 rpm and makes around 1,000 horsepower, enhanced with an F1-inspired KERS-style boost system that adds an extra 160 hp, taking the total output to 1,140 hp. The hybrid setup makes 664 pound-feet of torque, which lets the car hit 60 miles per hour in an alleged 2.5 seconds. The Valkyrie weighs just over 2,200 pounds, thanks to extensive use of lightweight materials like carbon fiber and titanium. Originally costing $3 million, the Valkyrie takes a team of skilled technicians over 2,000 hours to hand-build each car.
