The Aston Martin Valkyrie LM Hypercar boasts the same maximum power output of 520kW (697bhp) from its 6.5-litre V12 as the World Endurance Championship and IMSA Sportscar Championship contender.

A new track-day version of Aston Martin’s Valkyrie Le Mans Hypercar is being marketed as being almost exactly like the race car.
The Aston Martin Valkyrie LM Hypercar’s 6-point 5-liter V12 engine can produce up to 520kW (697bhp), which is the same as the World Endurance Championship and IMSA Sportscar Championship contender.
The two cars differ in “a few minor deviations to ensure it is a non-homologated variant and is accessible for customers to experience and enjoy,” according to Adam Carter, head of endurance motorsport at Aston.

FIA-regulated electronics will be eliminated, a specially designed cockpit interface for track days will be implemented, and Pirelli tires will be used instead of Michelin tires.
“Valkyrie LM is the most genuine Hypercar track experience currently accessible,” he added.
“There has never been a chance to get closer to the raw dynamic forces and cutting-edge technology deployed by the Hypercar currently competing in WEC and IMSA,” stated Adrian Hallmark, CEO of Aston.
Being a member of the world’s most exclusive Aston Martin owners’ club, Valkyrie LM offers a unique opportunity to experience the purest and most comparable endurance driving, which is otherwise only accessible to our works drivers competing at the highest level of sportscar racing. “”.

The Valkyrie LM will only be produced in ten pieces, and its owners will be eligible to participate in a unique program at Aston’s “Unleashed” track experience events.
Prior to two track days at Aston Unleashed events later in the year, deliveries of the first Valkyrie LMs will begin in mid-2026. The Valkyrie LM is valued at “about $5 million USD,” according to Aston. as well as taxes.
According to the statement, Aston Martin will maintain the vehicles and provide a driver development program designed “to support harness and optimize their driving ability and provide them with the ultimate top-flight motorsport experience.”.
Following the release of the Modificata version of its two-time Le Mans-winning 499P LMH, the British manufacturer is adopting a strategy similar to Ferrari’s.
Since its launch at the end of 2023, Ferrari is believed to have sold well over 20 Modificatas, which participate in its Clienti events.
The push-to-pass power boost from its hybrid system, which raises peak power to 640kW or 860bhp, is one of the main ways that the Ferrari differs from the LMH.

The first Valkyrie LM deliveries will begin in mid-2019, with two track days at Formula 1-caliber circuits to follow.
The development of the stillborn LMH fed into the AMR Pro track day car, but plans to race the Valkyrie in the WEC were announced in 2019 and then shelved early the following year.
The development of the LMH that went into competition this year began with this vehicle.
