Aston Martin Valhalla: powertrain, efficiency and vary

The Valhalla is the agency’s first ever plug-in hybrid, and the primary of its vehicles to have a “devoted EV vary”. The powertrain is centred round a V8 petrol engine, helped alongside by three electrical motors. The V8 itself is a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged unit with a flat-plane crank, and contains a ‘hot-V’ configuration with the turbochargers located inside the 2 cylinder banks. 

Like each V8 utilized in fashionable Aston Martins, the engine is sourced from AMG, however on this case it’s taken from the short-lived Mercedes-AMG GT Black Sequence from 2020 and contains a raft of bespoke components designed by and for Aston Martin. These embrace new camshafts and exhaust manifolds, plus new twin-scroll turbochargers which have bigger compressor wheels.
