Aston Martin has taken the wraps off a non-homologated variant of its Valkyrie Le Mans Hypercar, the Valkyrie LM.

Limited to an “ultra-exclusive” build of ten privately-owned units, the track day car is powered by the same 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine as the LMH race car and also shares the same vehicle dynamics and technology.

Aston Martin CEO Adrian Hallmark said: “In all its forms, there is nothing on Earth that compares to Valkyrie.

“The Le Mans contender is unique amongst its peers, not least the breathtaking 6.5-liter V12 engine that provides the beating heart for the only competitive hypercar bred from a road car.

“Valkyrie LM is an exquisite opportunity to be part of the most exclusive Aston Martin owners club in the world; a group who can immerse themselves in the purest and most comparable endurance driving experience, one that would otherwise only be available to our works drivers operating at the very limit of sports car racing’s highest echelon.

“Through the decades, Aston Martin has striven to give its owners the truest sense of the performance bred from its racing cars.

“With Valkyrie LM, there has never been an opportunity to get closer to the raw dynamic forces and state of the art technology deployed by the hypercar currently competing in WEC and IMSA.”

The Valkyrie LM is virtually identical to the race car, with only race-specific items such as ballast and FIA-regulated electronics removed, along with the addition of user-friendly open-loop torque control.

The car will run on bespoke performance tires from Pirelli.

“It is important to emphasize that the Valkyrie LM is close to identical to the race car that is currently competing in WEC and IMSA, with only a few minor deviations to ensure it is a non-homologated variant and is accessible for customers to experience and enjoy,” said Aston Martin’s Head of Endurance Motorsport Adam Carter.

“Valkyrie LM represents the most authentic Hypercar track experience that is now available.”

Valkyrie LM owners will be free to take full possession of their car, but Aston Martin is also creating a dedicated driver development program that’s tailored to “support, harness and optimize their driving ability and provide them with the ultimate topflight motorsport experience.”

Sportscar365 understands that units will cost around £5 million ($6.8 million) plus taxes, with first deliveries to be made by the fourth quarter of this year.
