Aston Martin is embarking on an exciting new chapter in its renowned racing history with the unveiling of the Valkyrie hypercar. This pure racing machine, derived from its road-legal counterpart, marks the brand's return to the pinnacle of endurance motorsport and aims for overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

In the year that will mark six decades since Dan Gurney and AJ Foyt won the race in a GT40 Mk. IV, Ford is headed back to the world's greatest sports car race. Not just with a GT car, but with an LMDh-spec prototype, competing in the top class for the overall win.

Aston Martin is coming back to the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year and hoping to win the event outright for the first time in more than 65 years. To achieve that lofty goal, it will race a V-12-powered hypercar based on its Valkyrie.

The Valkyrie started life as a Red Bull-era Adrian Newey project. It's hitting the track as an Aston-era Newey project.
