Could YOU Drive An Aston Martin Valkyrie? | 4K

Can anyone drive an Aston Martin Valkyrie?

Well, no, because if you’re tall or wide you simply won’t fit into the snug little Formula 1-inspired cockpit.

But, say you’re short and slight enough to squeeze in, could Joe Public drive the Valkyrie?

We’re not talking about tickling it along at idle either, but properly uncorking the 6.5-litre V12, mashing the ERS button for an extra 143bhp of e-boost, and chasing the big speeds where the full 1000kg of downforce is produced.

To answer such a question, Top Gear put its Editor-in-Chief, Jack Rix, into an Aston Martin Valkyrie, once Contributing Editor Jethro Bovingdon had shown him what it could really do…

So, do you think you could drive the Aston Martin Valkyrie?

[rousemotorsport]

We are witnessing peak Aston Martin right now. Their whole lineup is amazing. The Valkyrie is just pure wonderous insanity.

[AJpro]

Honestly this current line up of presenters is pretty solid good job lads

This is what 'copy nothing' should mean in the automotive world - Jaguar.

I can't get over how much this thing sounds like my Ducati from in the cockpit. Not just the pitch and tone of the engine and the similar redline, but also the immediacy of the shifts and the unbelievable urgency of acceleration. The idea that there are now road cars that can destroy a superbike is mind blowing.

We want the same video for RB17, amg One as soon as possible

[calvinallan]

If you guys are invited to Jaguar rebranding ceremony or whatever make sure to dress to the occasion 😂😂

[EyesOfByes]

Sitting in that car is probably like watching Interstellar during wormhole sequence in a full size IMAX theatre

[bertinbb]

This car is mental! It`s like you can feel how visceral it is through the video. And the sound coming from the engine is just perfect.

[ukabah]

i'd rather drive a jaguar. They copy nothing you know

[MacktasticSlick_]

Considering I’ll statistically never see one, I’m gonna say no. Lol

[martydeem]

Imagine a world where there were as many affordable exciting cars for the working man unveiled as there are super cars now. I guess it was called the 1960s

[xaviergarno]

At this point, Top gear just wants an excuse to drive the Valkyrie

[STAG]

looks insane, sounds gruff, and Jethro speaks volumes about the insane loudness in the cabin.

[jurajhrivnak]

Very good job. I enjoyed Jack's bit as much as I enjoyed Jethro's. Plus the camera work, the sound etc... Really, really made my day!

[artysanmobile]

I’m so glad you take ear protection seriously. If it’s actually 130dBSPL, that’s shattering. Without protection that’s enough to damage your hearing forever in mere seconds.

[TheCarGuy-nn]

Great video, gents, I love it! At 2:49 you can see the active aero operating on the front wing. I am guessing Jethro just entered the track, as all six aero elements go through a full operation "self-check" at around 30MPH. Otherwise, the aero bleed-down is at 137MPH.

[nighttrain]

WHAT!?!? At 5:00 The Valkyrie shuts off under deceleration. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT KEPT HAPPENING TO ME IN GRAN TURISMO 7 🤣🤣🤣 that's wild!

[KevinWinslow]

What a car. Jacks hands shaking after his laps really tell a story.

[talltrini]

"...and it's worked...perfectly"
