after the
two years, the British luxury sports car manufacturer Aston middot; Martin will bring a mid-engine sports car for the consumer, A year ago it has been unveiled. Prior to this, we already know that its name is called Valhalla, just do not know its power will be what type of engines.
Earlier, Aston middot; Andy Palmer said in an interview CEO Martin, Mercedes -AMG in long-term planning in the future, will gradually eliminate V8 power unit. But this type of engine has been deployed to a lot of Aston middot; Martin products under the hood.
If the Mercedes engine is no longer available in the future, Aston middot; Martin must find the perfect substitute. Power unit to a V6 engine as the basis for the British ultimate solution.
TM01 is this code V6 engine, TM is Aston middot; Martin Tadek Marek’s salute. The Polish engineer who engines Aston middot; Martin designed a variety of classic engine, like the Lagonda’s inline six-cylinder engine, used in DB4, DB5 among other models; and there remained in use until the early 2000s V8 engine .
the displacement of 
is the TM01 3.0L, and a double turbine blessing total weight less than 200kg, 7 to meet European upcoming emission requirements, and this engine can be and hybrid systems, plug-in hybrid system work together to power the vehicle. Performance data on other aspects of the Aston middot; Martin were not disclosed.
Aston middot; Martin powertrain chief engineer Joerg Ross said, “This project is a huge challenge, but we wanted to create something commensurate with the TM01 nameplate and create make our pioneering engineer and former Tadek Marek impressive stuff. “
Aston Martin Valhalla will take the lead in carrying this newly designed engine. Relative to the engine, this car has almost no mystery. At last year’s Geneva Motor Show, Aston middot; Martin unveiled the Code AM-RB 003 mid-engined sports car, which is what we are talking about Valhalla.
can be seen from the code, which is Aston middot; Martin and engage with Red Bull out of the product, after the two teamed together to create hypercar seem a soft spot. Valkyrie is the official definition of a supercar, but no matter how you look, will come to a conclusion, Aston middot; Martin a little too modest.
From the point of view of the vehicle positioning, Valhalla is lower than Valkyrie, but using a similar design and technology. In addition to appearance close, aerodynamic design can be seen is relatively similar, the body material is also applied to a large amount of carbon fiber material to reduce body weight.
Valhalla vehicle weight will be controlled at about 1350 kg, and 750 horsepower per ton of the weight ratio. This also means that Aston middot; Martin will bring the latest TM01 output of 1000 horsepower, but it is unclear whether the need to calculate the contribution made by the hybrid unit.
of the variable wing aerodynamic surfaces, active aerodynamics, active suspension, and other advanced technology device also help to complete this car in 2.5 seconds from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour acceleration. With the first firing of the engine from the production version of Valhalla release is getting closer, we expected to be in production next year, limited edition of 500 units.
before Valhalla really on the road, the latest James Bond movie will appear in its presence.
