@Elias Håkansson with possible silver pearlescence?

Absolutely genius strategy, really cool to see.

@Santiago Oehler Toca Valkyrie preceeds the Stroll investment in Aston Martin by a few years (2017 program inception I think?), but the tie in with F1 is a smart strategy to boost the brand, if they combine it with operational excellence and product refinement it will boost sales volumes no question.

@@hobmarg I see it as a fat lie to be honest, people will think as it’s designed that it’s an Aston Martin F1 car, when it is literally built by another team and company and just has Aston Martin slapped on it. I doubt it has a single Aston Martin component on it near the badges. When it has an Aston engine in it it’ll be worthy if the badge IMO.

Valkyrie doesn't compete with senna. It competes with Mercedes AMG project 1.

Performance aside, I think the Senna looks like they locked the designers out of the room, whereas the Valkyrie has a very cohesive free-flowing design language that looks like it's moving even without moving.

senna and valkyrie aren't comparable because that's like comparing an f1 car to a f3 car. Senna isn't made to be the same as a Valkrie

Difference between designers and engineers.

@@orio_3 I mean they're both made to be the fastest track ready hypercars, they just approached their briefs diffently.

I hope they can replicate a Porsche vs Audi like rivalry.

Which would you place as the faster of the two round a track?🤔

@@divinasi0n I believe as it stands that goes to the Valkyrie bc of aero, but the Merc powerplant is a bit more potent as it’s taken straight from their 2015 F1 car (turbo 1.6L V6 hybrid) and tuned up bc no F1 regs

@@divinasi0n I can't tell, both have certain aspects speaking for them. I'll just wait until both hit the road/track as production cars ^^

@@sgtpotato9720 I am gonna be pedantic. The engine isn't tuned up perse, it's modified for structural compliance. It's actually less powerful than an F1 block. However the the electrical component has received a substantial buff in performance.

I think we are going to look back on this day in years to come as another McLaren F1 moment

@@MrJWW for real.. how long until you get to review it? Did they drop any hints..?

@@MrJWW Love Aston (have a DB9) but won't ever match up to the F1 unless it proves itself likewise on the track!

😂 haha

Goddang, that one got me. xD

They go where people are watching. It's all just one big advertisement to try and dig Aston out of it's hole.

Believe me f1 car way more exciting

@@lohithreddy6629 Duh. No shit, Sherlock.

Why not both?

@@LiGHTA77 Well if you watch F1 it was an exciting reveal, of course a road car is going to be more beautiful, but this F1 car will stand out against its rivals on track with the new livery.

@@lohithreddy6629 Nah not really, both are exciting in their own right but F1 is secretive about what you can learn about cars but not the hypercar.

Yeah but being it originally a F1 team effort, considering they're not a team anymore, Red Bull has pulled itself out of the equation, but yeah, Adrian Newey should be given the credit he deserves.

@@aimDiego it was more Aston Martin pulling out than Red Bull, but still. They should be given a little bit of credit, especially Adrian.

Stroll's takeover of Aston Martin changed everything in 4 steps : 1 : Andy Palmer, Aston Martin's former CEO wanted to use Mercedes only as an engine supplier for their V8 and not as a partner. And then, he humiliated Mercedes publicly by saying that Aston Martin will develop its own V6 because they doesn't want a 4 cylinder. 2 : Lawrence Stroll, who owns the Racing Point F1 team, always pushed to have the closest relationship with Mercedes in F1 by being a close business partner to Toto Wolff, the Mercedes-AMG F1 team principal. That's how Mercedes's CEO Ola Kallenius asked Lawrence Stroll to push that working relationship on the road by taking control of Aston Martin for Mercedes. 3 : Stroll took over of Aston Martin. His first decision was to kick out Palmer to make AMG's CEO Tobias Moers the new CEO of Aston Martin and turn the Racing Point F1 team into an Aston Martin F1 team. 4 : Mercedes increased their share of Aston Martin from 5 to 20 % and will provide more engines, platforms, electric drive technology, and even software. That's why they've cancelled their Palmer's V6 for the Valhalla and will replace it by an all new engine from AMG.

@@donelmediterraneo8626 you forget that Stroll basically made Aston abandon the Le Mans hypercar project.

@@donelmediterraneo8626 Nice info. Thanks.

Your latter mules should be just that. You have to be able to test what actually will be "production" version. Production in quotes as a low volume car as such, the gaps between prototype and "production" are a lot smaller.

Seems like you're a fan of everything, including the socks they wearing 😅 Why am I picking on you? What is a Valkyrie fan? Just say you are an Aston fan. Fan fan fan fan of all fans is this guy right here

@@goldman7267 i do like most things to do with engineering and cars youre right ;) thats why im studying engineering! i do like aston martin because im british, but i appreciate the engineering behind the Valkyrie in particular, and im more of a mclaren fan for thier cars and the F1 team than aston, but im just enjoying thier entry to the sport, and a great in depth video from Mr JWW :)

@@mb1326 not in the Valkyrie but the F1 engine is from Mercedes

@@mb1326 well considering Mercedes track record in F1 that's nothing bad :D

Mhm. They definitely will. But remember Aston Martin has been bankrupt more times than you've had hot dinners

It's the new 2021 car . You can tell by the floor being really small compared to normal

They won’t show the real aero for reasons regarding competitive secrets.

I thinking the same looking at the floor of the F1 car, those slots in the floor are now forbidden, so it must be an older car with parts of the new livery

The Gordon Murray T50 as well

And than Porsche comes along and as usual dominates

@@DefinitelyNotEmma Haha, no! Mercedes will dominate them just like they did in the 90s.
