Will Valkyrie owners be driving their cars, or will they be purely holding them as investments?

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.

Absolutely. The Valkyrie is just too extreme for the road. Think of it as a race car with number plates. The harsh ride alone would be unbearable for more than a few minutes, and not to mention the lack of visibility and the noise would be intolerable for more than that. It’s a road car masquerading as a track toy.

I disagree. The Valkyrie is supposed to be the ultimate road legal track car. It’s not a grocery run car, but rather a car to blast around on empty roads or track days. One of its appeals is that it is road legal and can be driven to and from the track.

While the Valkyrie might be extreme, that’s what makes it special. Cars like this drive the limits of what is possible and then trickle down the technology to more mainstream models. This is a halo car that demonstrates Aston Martin's engineering prowess.

I feel like it is too compromised in both directions. On track its not as good as it should be with road regulations and awful on the road. Jack of all trades, master of none.

The question is, will owners drive these on the road? Most probably will sit in climate controlled garages where they will barely see daylight. If that is the case, then who cares if it's road legal or not?

Other hypercars like the McLaren Senna or Bugatti Chiron are just as extreme. These cars have always been pushing the limits of what is acceptable on the road. The latest evolution of the Valkyrie is just that.

I would argue that it is not extreme enough. Why bother making it road legal if they are going to make a car this focused? It has to be a pure track weapon with no compromise.

The whole point is the extremity. It's a road-legal F1 car. Buy a DB11 if you want practicality. For those who decide to compromise nothing, the Valkyrie is the one.

If you’re not the target market, it’s only too extreme. The Valkyrie is something unique in the collection of billionaire enthusiasts who own multiple supercars.

It is not that it is too extreme, but rather that it does not live up to the hype. I wonder if it can deliver on its promises, all the delays and changes during development.

Absolutely. With its F1 inspired aero package the Valkyrie has a huge advantage in cornering speeds and stability. Its downforce levels are beyond what traditional hypercars can reach.

I'm skeptical. Not all F1 tech translates well to the road. I bet the Valkyrie might be great on a smooth track but a nightmare on real roads with bumps and imperfections.

This is not just about performance, but the experience. Some buyers will find that the Valkyrie feels more like driving an F1 car than any other road legal vehicle.

Marketing hype is what the F1 influence is mostly. In the end, it still has to comply with road regulations that restrict how 'F1-like' it can actually be.

I think it provides the Valkyrie some advantage in some areas, like high speed cornering, but at the expense of others. They could even be more well rounded performers than traditional hypercars.

The test will be lap times. If the Valkyrie can't win in a decisive manner around a track against other hypercars, then F1 tech doesn't matter.
