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

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.
The Aston Martin Valkyrie may be too extreme for road use.

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.
