Clogged ears? The Aston Martin Valkyrie Roadster sprays them out for you

You have to look very closely at the attached photo, because it is not immediately clear that the Aston Martin Valkyrie in the photo has no roof. Most striking is the new placement of the doors. The 'normal' Aston Martin Valkyrie has two gull-wing doors, which - à la Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing - rise from a hinge point on the roof. On the Roadster, the doors go diagonally forward, like a Lamborghini.

Aston Martin Valkyrie Roadster debuts at Pebble Beach

Aston Martin will unveil the Valkyrie Roadster on Thursday, August 12 during Monterey Car Week in California. On the Pebble Beach golf course, the otherworldly super sports car is joined by an almost equally outrageous creation: the new Aston Martin Valhalla. Only 999 of the 950 hp hybrid (twin turbo V6 and electric motor) will be built in the next two years.

Atmospheric V12 spins at 11,000 rpm

But isn't a hybrid really boring? Well, not if he gets away from Aston Martin! The Aston Martin Valkyrie Roadster also has Prius drive, but with a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12. The total powertrain comes to 1160 hp and 900 Nm. And that while the Valkyrie in coupé form weighs just 1000 kilos. The extreme Aston goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds. Its twelve-cylinder engine rotates at a maximum of 11,000 revolutions per minute! How does that sound? Like in this video.
