Supercars aren’t always super to drive. I’ve been at racetracks only too happy to exit the vehicles in question, politely declining a last lap or two. Too raw, too unpredictable, too thinly appointed? I’m out after a few rounds. It’s those last laps when your nerves are frayed and focus shaky that you run into trouble. Making a mistake at 140 mph and going into a wall is a risk that doesn’t outwei...
Supercars aren’t always super to drive. I’ve been at racetracks only too happy to exit the vehicles in question, politely declining a last lap or two. Too raw, too unpredictable, too thinly appointed? I’m out after a few rounds. It’s those last laps when your nerves are frayed and focus shaky that you run into trouble. Making a mistake at 140 mph and going into a wall is a risk that doesn’t outweigh the reward of driving such a car for one more loop. News flash: I’m not a professional race car driver. Give me a supercar with elegance at any speed, something that makes me feel like a better driver than I actually am. Consistency, comfort and control? Count me in. Does that make me a normie? So be it. I was only too eager to stay in the driver’s seat of Aston Martin’s $1,051,500 Valhalla earlier this month in Spain. With its towering spoiler and gaping air vents, this new plug-in hybrid looks like an intergalactic insect ready to devour anything in its path. At 1,064 horsepower with a top speed of 217 mph, it’s got the mind-melting performance to back it up. But the feeling inside the cockpit is far less intimidating. Valhalla is easy and fun to drive at any speed — a pussycat with a quiet cabin, four drive modes and handling so finessed I was as happy to drive it on the rural byways of San Sebastian, Spain, as on the Circuito de Navarra racetrack. Maybe more. In today’s supercar market, owners love flaunting their rare, extreme car that no one else can get. Seven-figure price tag and 1,000-plus hp? These days they’re practically de rigueur. The Valhalla completes Aston Martin’s lineup, filling a previously untapped gap between the $262,000 DB12 sports car and the $3 million Valkyrie hypercar. It’s attracting plenty of newcomers, the company’s Chief Executive Officer Adrian Hallmark says: 70% of Valhalla buyers are first-time Aston Martin owners. With 152 of its total 999 units already delivered and 500 more to be delivered in 2026, it belongs to a growing segment: mi...
