Aston Martin Valkyrie LM Delivers Exclusive Le Mans Hypercar Track Experience For Owners
Aston Martin has unveiled the Valkyrie LM, a hypercar designed for endurance racing. Limited to just 10 units, it shares its engine and dynamics with the Le Mans version. This exclusive model offers a unique opportunity for Aston Martin clients to experience top-tier motorsport performance.
The Valkyrie LM is not just about owning a car; it's about joining an elite club. Owners will participate in a bespoke driver development programme. This programme is tailored to enhance their driving skills and provide an immersive motorsport experience. The initiative ensures that each owner can fully explore the car's capabilities.
Adrian Hallmark, CEO of Aston Martin, emphasised the uniqueness of the Valkyrie LM. "In all its forms, there is nothing on Earth that compares to Valkyrie," he stated. He highlighted the car's V12 engine as a key feature, describing it as "the beating heart for the only competitive hypercar bred from a road car."
The Valkyrie LM is powered by a 6.5-litre V12 engine, delivering 520kW (697bhp). It features a seven-speed sequential transmission and rear-wheel drive. The suspension system includes double wishbones and adjustable dampers for optimal track performance.

Driver Development Programme
Aston Martin's driver development programme offers extensive support to Valkyrie LM owners. It includes simulator sessions, track walks, and classroom lessons before driving on track. Professional driver coaches guide clients through every step of their journey.
The programme also provides comprehensive vehicle and driver kits, including helmets and fireproof gear. Owners will enjoy exclusive events and track days at F1-standard circuits throughout 2026.
Legacy of Excellence
Aston Martin's history with Le Mans dates back to 1928. The brand has achieved multiple class wins over the decades. With the Valkyrie LM, Aston Martin aims for outright victory once again, echoing its success in 1959 with Roy Salvadori and Carroll Shelby.
