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

Performance is not everything. Nothing else road legal feels like driving a race car more than the Valkyrie. That's valuable in itself.

The F1 influence probably helps more with cooling and reliability than speed outright. Its real advantage might be being able to run hard for longer periods.

I think it’s too specialized due to the F1 inspired design. Great on a track, but possibly terrible everywhere else. Other hypercars may be more usable.

I can't say without direct comparison, but the Valkyrie's design should at least make it one of the quickest cars in high speed corners. It is subjective as to whether that makes it 'better' overall.

Not at all. The Valkyrie's V12 is truly a work of engineering art; it's a marvel of what you can do with internal combustion. It’s not an outdated relic, it’s a celebration of the technology.

I think it is outdated. The future is electric powertrains which deliver instant torque and better packaging. The V12 is impressive, but it’s looking back, not forward.

We are not outdated; we are just unique. Electric motors cannot reproduce the sound and character of a V12 high revving.

It’s not completely ignoring electrification because the V12 is part of a hybrid system. It is a bridge between traditional and future tech.

It may be outdated in terms of pure performance. However, cars like this are not about numbers. The V12 is part of the emotional appeal.

I would say it’s more advanced than most electric powertrains. It is incredibly complex and cutting edge engineering to make a 11,000 rpm V12.

Outdated, in the sense that it will not be viable much longer, due to emissions regulations. Car like this won’t be around forever, so enjoy it while it lasts.

The Valkyrie is not meant to be practical or efficient. This is an engineering exercise and the swan song for naturally aspirated engines. In the context of that, the V12 makes sense.

I think going full electric is a mistake. Electric hypercars can be extremely exciting, according to Rimac. Aston is holding on to the past.

It is outdated only if you think electric is the future. At least for now, I think there’s room for both technologies. But the Valkyrie proves that ICE has development potential.
Is the Vantage a good grand tourer?

It's gone more towards sports car than GT. Backroads are great, but it can be tiring on long stretches of highway. After a few hours the exhaust drone gets old.

I have done several 500+ mile trips in mine. It’s not uncomfortable, but firm, sure. They are great seats for long drives.

Depends on your definition of GT. A DB11 is not as plush, but it is more engaging. It keeps me alert and entertained so I prefer it for long trips.

Grand touring is an issue for the noise. Great if you want it, but you won’t be able to fully turn it down on the highway. Packing light is also a must.

Great GT if you want performance. It’s not for those seeking ultimate comfort. It’s hard to beat for a balance of speed and livability, though.

Long trips are more comfortable than in my old 911. The ride is well damped and firm and the engine is less stressed at highway speeds.
