NEW Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH TESTING at Donington Park - Pure V12 Sound!

A first look at the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH! Nice to see Lazarus itself in person. This car makes an unreal noise, particularly on the downshifts where it sounds a bit like an incoming thunderstorm! And if this was merely a shakedown, it wasn't exactly hanging about either. I do apologise that this is not award winning footage but its the best you've got so far and I wanted to leave a lot of the dead air in just so you can hear it go round this place. Originally had no plan to be at Donington as the exclusive test day at some point in the week became a private one which I didn't know about, but a few miles away this could be heard and so enticed a look down the public footpath that this place backs on to and conveniently also runs right past the circuit! Was not expecting to find a Le Mans Hypercar at Donington Park, and was not expecting it to be the Cosworth V12 powered Valkyrie that was at one time a scrapped project and looked to never be happening. Awesome to see this car and awesome to see it at Donington, which furthers my desire to see the WEC round here and not at Silverstone. But you can argue about that in the comments. It never seemed to have any issues and did a number of half hour stints on what was a very hot day. And yeah there's an ugly watermark in the middle cos I know what you thieving lot can be like! It's my ass on the line putting this content out i'm afraid...

10 years ago I would never have thought we would have another prototype V12 at Le Mans again. It's bonkers!

If the Cadillac makes the Sound of Fury.

Then the Valkyire makes the Sound of Heaven

[JX-icme]

This car and the Cadillac will make a hell of a combo in Le Mans next year and i'm all up for it

[rockzsr]

Remember the whole Hypercar category was created to allow this thing to race

[Tony-cs]

To everyone at Aston Martin, I thank you for bringing the soul back to sportscar racing! 😃
Cadillac started it with this new golden era! 🎉

[naufalkusumah]

Damn, I still couldn't believe they stick with the V12 for their LMH racecar. They probably detuned the hell out of the original V12 in Valkyrie roadcar to meet the 700hp limit. But jeez it still sounds angelic...

[dantton]

I just can't believe it. An actual aspirated V12 entering thw WEC in 2025. Thank you, Aston

Screaming engine, GIANT WING, looks like a group C car. WOW!

Thank you for not cutting the video instantly as soon as the car gets besides you like many others.

Cadillac: Finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary!

[sbeve]

V12 back at top class motorsport just makes me happy

[Colevid]

So thankful to experience this golden era in modern racing

[hambo]

Oh my God this genuinely brings a tear to my eye. Long live the sound of a v12 on a racetrack.

[kevinrafisugiharto]

Ladies and gentlemen, we are living in the golden era of sports car again, the way for Aston Martin Hypercar!

[RockSolitude]

Aston Martin doing the Lord's work bringing back a naturally aspirated V12 back to Le Mans and prototype racing.

[gtone]

Insane! Imagine 2 Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH on track! 😊

[thesegulgod]

Finally, a team that knows what fans want, a screaming v12

[LeMansVidz]

Gosh I was afraid it would be muffled with the footage we got at Silverstone... Thank you for this clip man ! 🥰

[jidearojo]

Can we all agree all engines that produce loud noises are sources of symphony? This car is too much❤
