The Aston Martin Valkyrie Spider is what happens when f1 engineers decide to build something even more extreme than a Formula 1 car. It’s a barely-legal missile that Adrian Newey of Red Bull Racing designed after concluding that people deserved a taste of genuine F1 technology.

With only 85 examples planned for production, owning one means joining a club more exclusive than most royal families. The 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 develops over 1,000 horsepower while screaming to 11,100 rpm, creating a soundtrack that makes Pavrotti and his opera seem mundane. But it’s the aerodynamics that truly set this machine apart.
