The used car market, as we know it, is coming to an end. An Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar is for sale in the Netherlands. Potential buyers must know that the seller prefers to receive bitcoins.
The super-exclusive Valkyrie, which is now for sale, is a left-hand-drive hypercar that currently resides in the Netherlands. But the seller informs those interested in buying it that it can be delivered anywhere in the world. The Valkyrie has never been registered and comes with a Certificate of Conformity.
The odometer shows incredibly low mileage of only only 658 kilometers (409 miles). To make sure that the Valkyrie does exist, the selling website asked the owner to provide proof of possession by taking a photo of a recent newspaper next to the VIN. The picture shows up in the photo gallery in the listing.
The hypercar is offered for $2.8 million. However, the seller's preferred method of payment is either Bitcoin or stablecoins. The price translates to 40.23 bitcoins. If the buyer wants to pay through an escrow service, the website where the car is listed can provide such a service, offered at a 1.5 percent additional fee.
They also mention that privacy is paramount. They will not be present when a potential customer comes to check out the Valkyrie but have a partner from Germany to go in person along with the car once/if they make a deal. Seeing the car in person, which means taking a trip to the Netherlands, is highly recommended.
Furthermore, the selling website will assist the transaction in order to reduce risk for both parties. Before going along with the purchase, the seller must make proof of funds and a wallet address.
The winning bidder will also receive a Real Car NFT within 14 days of the purchase. According to the listing, the car and Real Car NFT must be kept together in order to increase resale value. Otherwise, they can get blacklisted.
Aston Martin debuted the Valkyrie back in 2021 with a planned run of 150 units, each starting at $3.5 million. So, it is obvious that the seller is not making any profit. The AMR Pro version will only roll out in 25 examples, starting at $4 million. Both versions are sold out but not yet delivered.
What powers the Valkyrie is a rear-mid-mounted, naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine, working alongside a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor in a hybrid system for a total of 1,160 horsepower (1,176 metric horsepower) and 664 pound-feet (900 Newton meters). These make the hypercar flash from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 97 kph) in 2.6 seconds on its way to a top speed of 250 mph (402 kph). And these outrageous figures are valid even for a car sold for bitcoins.
