Aston Martin wraps up Valhalla tests, announces pricing and more

The British supercar maker announced the Valhalla six long years ago, but the development hasn’t been easy.

The mid-engined coupe has now reached the final testing phase before production. To mark the occasion, Aston Martin CEO Adrian Hallmark gave a short interview shedding light on some important details.

Perhaps the most remarkable part is that the Valhalla is gearing up to compete with such formidable opponents as the Ferrari F80 and McLaren W1. The latter starts form the equivalent of U.S. $2.1 million, while the latter costs at least $3.9 million.

The Valhalla is set to undercut both with a starting price close to $1.1 million. It is also slated for a rather generous production run of 999 units, so it’s going to be on the more accessible side as hypercars go.
