Treat your ears! Aston Martin is testing a special racing program Valkyrie V12 for Le Mans. It screams like formula. Once upon a time… – Garáž.cz

We have an official Le Mans special from Aston they already saw it last yearbut now we can listen to the naturally aspirated 12-litre Cosworth cylinder thanks to the official video clip.

And it’s worth it! Just watch (and mostly listen) as the special one gracefully races around the circuit at Silverstone and Donnington Park.

In the standard version, this engine has a power of more than 1,000 horsepower and spins at 11,000 revolutions per minute, which shows, for example, the Lexus LFA that is very singing. However, for the purposes of the Le Mans Hypercar class, the V12 unit must be modified, both for performance and resistance requires 24-hour shifts.

The Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH uses a full race carbon fiber chassis, but we won’t see it in action until 2025. But it looks like it’s not just at Le Mans, but also in a racing series WeatherTech North America and FIA sustainability events.

However, Valkyrie AMR-LMH is not actually the work of the British car company, which, by the way, has been in deep financial lossbut experts from the American racing team Heart of Racing are also involved in the project.

Although the specifications of the Valkyrie AMR-LMH are truly impressive and the excellent engineering of Aston, we should not forget that the successful Ferrari, experienced Toyota and other famous brands that compete in this famous event are also grinding the teeth at Le Mans.
