WATCH: Volume up for the Supernova Red V12 Valkyrie on track

This Supernova Red V12 Valkyrie, named after Scandinavian Mythology, has appropriately appeared in strutting its stuff at a racetrack in Norway. Since its screaming V12 dominates the soundtrack, we suggest cranking the volume up. Supernova Red V12 Valkyrie

This Supernova Red V12 Valkyrie, potentially one of the most striking of the 150 Aston Martin limited edition hypercars produced, has been spotted in action at the Rudskogen Motorsenter. The unnamed owner, who boasts it is the only Valkyrie in Norway, took to the racetrack South East of Oslo and thankfully brought a crew to document his escapades too. 

This means that a video provided after his endeavours on the racetrack and documented by Kyle Meyr and Mats Andersen means we get to enjoy the screaming 865 kW motor to ourselves. This includes a host of photos showing the intricate hypercar from multiple different angles as well as some on track rolling-shots of the prominent red paintwork which stands out on the overcast day. 

This specific model, with chassis number 69 is powered by the same aural V12 as any other Valkyrie. The 6,5-litre hybrid can achieve a 0-100 km/h sprint time in less than 2,5 seconds before reaching its whopping 402 km/h top speed. Based on the track layout, we imagine that its intricate aero setup made it an apex hunting machine capable of thrashing whatever lap-record may have been previously set at the Rudskogen Motorsenter although no information on competitive times was provided.

For all out performance and even more harcore power, the AMR Pro model capable of 735 kW after shedding the hybrid setup to attain ultimate lightness may be the better machine for breaking lap records, although its track-only ability means it would have to be towed  to-and-from. It is limited to 40 examples only which means it can demand a price tag of $3,5 million.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
