Aston Martin has come up with more details on the Valkyrie’s engine and you can consider our minds blown.

For starters, the naturally-aspirated V12 found inside the AM Valkyrie will churn out 1,000 hp. It also revs to 11,000 rpm and was designed in collaboration with Cosworth. As a result, it packs “F1 knowledge, materials and methods.”

Moreover, Aston Martin says Valkyrie’s performance figures will be taken even further thanks to a battery hybrid system, but so far its details remain undisclosed and expected to surface later in the development timeline.
