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.

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 It’s not an outdated relic, it’s a celebration of the technology.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.
