Aston Martin has revealed new details about its upcoming, mid-engined spaceship – sorry, supercar – called Valhalla. And the pinnacle of information dispensed - the one key detail we didn't know before but isn't that surprising now - is that Fernando Alonso is helping to shape its development.
Naturally his teammate Lance Stroll is in on the development gravy train, too, both F1 aces feeding into what should be a pretty striking bit of machinery. But really, it’s Alonso’s input that we’re interested in. Because imagine the team radio.
Indeed Aston has spoken at great length about just how much its Formula One team has fed into developing the highly anticipated Valhalla, calling the synergy “the world’s fastest laboratory”. One could argue giving a supercar to an in-form double world champion to develop is like ‘throwing it to the lions, mate’.
The F1 team’s ‘consulting arm’, dubbed Aston Martin Performance Technologies, is the bridge betwixt road and race, helping push the Valhalla’s handling, aero and material use. Of the former, Alonso – and Stroll – will help calibrate the supercar’s handling traits. And quite literally shape the car’s interior – we’re told the driving position takes its cues from the AMR23 F1 car.
