While most big-name car corporations, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, have been applying pressure to a different aspect of their car by trying to initiate more electric vehicles, Aston Martin is in a completely different lane when focusing on improving the next project. As of August 12, 2021, Aston Martin gave their audience a first look at the newly released 2022 Roofless Valkyrie Spider supercar. Within the first day of the vehicle’s release over 85 individual duplicates were sold to different buys across the globe; taking into consideration the car totaled to be worth approximately $3.2 million, one can only imagine the amount of profit the company has incoming over the next year.
Unlike the normal convertible, the Valkyrie Spider’s roof does not fold in due to the specifically modified mechanics of this supercar not having enough space to put in that mechanism. The roof is a completely removable roof along with the same 6.5 liters Cosworth V-12 engine that is under the hood of the previous Valkyrie. Reaching a top speed of 217 mph the Aston Martin provides an impressive 1139 horsepower to live up to its value and supercar reputation while also having the capability to rev at 11,500 rpm and touch 987 horsepower by itself.
Excluding the roof, the only real design difference between the Spider and the original Valkyrie is the doors. The Spider was designed with specific front-hinged dihedral doors while the initial Valkyrie coupe was blueprinted with top-hinged gullwing doors, both folding upwards when opened. Being fully gas operational it was interesting to see Aston Martin’s newest drop having so few changes from its previous one while not even trying out the path of electric vehicles that other businesses seem to be focusing on. This car giant of a corporation has been at the top of the food chain for quite some time and does not seem to be changing its ways until presumably forced to. With the new rendition of the Valkyrie Spider, the company has once again made itself known as a force to be wrecked within the supercar industry.
