Fernando Alonso, ever the connoisseur of speed, has just added a new toy to his collection—his very own Aston Martin Valkyrie. This isn’t just any hypercar; it’s a 846 kW hybrid beast that practically screams F1 pedigree. You can almost hear him lobbying for that naturally aspirated V12 to make a comeback on the grid.

The Valkyrie takes a direct page out of the AMR24’s playbook, sporting a Satin Aston Martin Racing Green finish complemented by AMR Satin Lime accents. It’s got all the hallmarks of a track weapon—massive venturi tunnels dressed in Speed Red, Light Blue, and Dark Blue graphics, and a cheeky ‘CAUTION HOT’ label somewhere on the bodywork. It’s a bold touch, though it may have tempted fate given the clips already doing the rounds of the car stranded in Monaco. Not the debut Alonso would’ve hoped for, but hey, even champions have off days.

Delving into the spec, it’s clear Alonso went all out with Aston Martin’s Q division. There’s exposed carbon fibre everywhere—roof, engine cover, you name it. Inside, black Alcantara reigns supreme, stitched with lime green to match the exterior flair. Alonso’s personal logo is subtly embroidered into the headrests, marking his territory. 

Oh, and let’s not forget the pièce de résistance: a red anodised aluminium accelerator pedal etched with his race number, 14. A shame Aston didn’t capture this little detail on camera; it’s the kind of bespoke touch you’d expect from a man who’s raced at the sharp end of F1.

“It’s hard to put into words how much I have been looking forward to this day,” Alonso said. “To sit at the wheel of my own Valkyrie; one that I have worked on designing so closely with the team at Q by Aston Martin is certainly a day to remember. Valkyrie truly is an F1 car for the road, with so much of the knowledge and technology taken from all the experience Aston Martin has on track and I can’t wait to hit the road.”

So, there you have it—Alonso’s Valkyrie is not just a car; it’s a statement. A reminder that while he’s got a foot in F1, his heart still beats for pure, unfiltered performance. Let’s hope we see it screaming down a backroad soon—minus any breakdowns, of course.
