It’s shooting themselves in the foot. Traction out of corners is helped by hybrid systems. The Valkyrie might suffer in mixed conditions.

Let's not forget weight savings. A lighter car is a car with no hybrid system. This could be an advantage on twisty tracks.

It's a marketing ploy. Even if they aren’t competitive, they’ll get attention for being different. It’s not about winning races, it’s about selling road cars.

I suppose it depends on the owner. There will be some collectors who will keep them pristine, but I will bet there are a few enthusiasts who will really run them hard.

Very rarely will they be driven. Maybe a few track days a year and some special events. But daily driving? No way.

If they aren’t driven, it’s a shame. This is a car that is a masterwork of engineering, something to be lived, not just stared at.

Probably the majority of owners have more than one hypercar. The Valkyrie might be driven more than we think, but by no one owner very often.

Photos and videos will drive them enough to be tucked away. The main reason they will see any use is probably social media clout.

Some owners might surprise us. Imagine how many F1 GTs are actually used despite their value. A couple of brave souls are always willing to use their cars.

The best move is to let it stay as an investment. If kept in pristine condition, these will only go up in value.

I hope Aston has a way to track usage and insist on owners using them. If they just sat around, it would be a waste of engineering.

They might not be driven much, but they could be used on private tracks out of the public eye. That might encourage owners to take more risks with them in controlled environments.

The unique thing about the Valkyrie is that it is extremely focused. If what you want is comfort, buy a regular GT car. This is for people that want the ultimate track experience.

I feel that it doesn’t make it more enjoyable. The McLaren 720S or Porsche 918 provide truly incredible performance but they can also be driven perfectly comfortably on the road. Versatility adds to the experience.

Enjoyment is subjective. For others, the Valkyrie will be exactly what they want: raw and uncompromising. It’s not trying to be everything to everyone.

It may be a bit less fun on the road but more fun on the track with the extreme focus. This depends on how and where you are planning to use it.

The Valkyrie is not about balance, it is about pushing limits. And that is part of its appeal. It’s not a daily driver.

The Valkyrie might offer higher highs, but more balanced hypercars will be more enjoyable more of the time. The question here is peak experience vs. overall usability.

It’s that much more an occasion. With every drive in a Valkyrie being an event it could be more enjoyable in its own way.

I think Aston went too far. Access is even needed for dedicated track cars to be truly enjoyable. That's not fun if it's a constant struggle to drive.
