When Aston Martin committed to the modern generation of prototype race cars back in 2019, fans around the world rejoiced—but it wasn’t until half a decade later that fans would finally see the fruits of their labors. Fortunately, most fans would determine that the Valkyrie AMR-LMH was worth the wait when they first heard the roar of its 6.5-liter, naturally aspirated V12 engine.
But getting 670 horsepower out of the first V12 used in top-tier prototype racing in nearly 15 years isn’t the only thing that makes this car unique. Unlike many of its compatriots in IMSA and other sports car series, the Valkyrie forgoes a hybrid system. Likewise, the Adrian Newey-designed car is one of the only prototypes at any level to have a road-going version for consumers. The car made its competitive debut in Qatar in 2025 and capped off that year with its first IMSA podium in the Petit Le Mans.
