British carmaker Aston Martin officially describes the Valhalla as "an all-new performance-bred predator." It’s the third mid-engine hypercar made by the Brits after the Valkyrie and Valkyrie AMR Pro, developed together with Red Bull Racing and packing a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 backed by a hybrid system.
That hardware allows it to develop 1,000 horsepower and makes it easy for the car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds.
The Valhalla is not a motorcycle, though, because Aston does not make two-wheelers. Sure, we did have the AMB 001 track-only machine in 2019, but that only had the Aston Martin looks, as pretty much everything else was of Brough Superior Motorcycles make.
But what if the British company did decide to go down the motorcycle path? It’s a question we’ve already asked and already answered courtesy of our friends over at Australian insurance company Budget Direct: a cafe racer inspired by the DB4 GT Zagato Continuation.
But the Valhalla is equally as inspiring, and a two-wheeler derived from this particular model would certainly be something worth talking about. So, the same group came up with this thing here: the Valhalla motorcycle, designed with a one-piece carbon-fiber upper body reminiscent of the car’s lines, and riding on two of the wheels the “performance-bred predator” itself will soon be using.
This being a rendering and all, we’re not being given any info of what engine the frame of the thing should hold. For reference, AMB 001’s heart is a V-twin turbocharged engine good for 180 hp - and that on a bike that weighs just 180 kg (397 pounds). Or, alternatively, one could envision it as an electric machine…
Whatever your choice, the fact remains this two-wheeled Valhalla is something we’ll never get to see. Its four-wheeled sibling, though, is expected to arrive later this year, as a limited-production car for the ages.
