Aston Martin Valkyrie LM

Aston Martin has created the Valkyrie LM with Le Mans specifications, with production limited to just 10 examples.

The Valkyrie LM is based on Aston's LMH hypercar that will race at La Sarthe this weekend. That means it draws 697 horsepower from the same 6.5-liter Cosworth V12 engine, which powers the rear wheels via a seven-speed semi-automatic sequential gearbox.

Otherwise, this is a top-of-the-line Le Mans car that can be driven on the track of its owner's choosing. It still has a carbon fiber racing seat, a fire suppression system, and track-specific Pirelli tires.

Adam Carter, Aston Martin’s head of endurance racing, said: “It is important to note that the Valkyrie LM is virtually identical to the race car currently competing in WEC and IMSA, with only a few minor differences, available for customers to experience and enjoy. “The Valkyrie LM represents the most authentic hypercar track experience currently available.”

Similar to Ferrari’s original XX track car programme, Aston Martin will store and transport the cars as part of an owner support programme that aims to offer “the ultimate motorsport experience at the highest level”.

As part of this, the company will also provide a team of engineers to set up the cars and maintain them during track days. It will also provide professional driving instructors and simulator sessions to ensure customers can “explore the limits of a machine designed to do over 320km/h on the fast, straight corners of the world’s most famous race track”.

Owners will be able to drive their cars for the first time at an “exclusive handover event” in the second quarter of 2026
