New information has been released about the engine in the Aston Martin Valhalla supercar. Called TM01 (named in honour of famous Aston Martin engineer Tadek Marek), it’s an all-new turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 with plug-in hybrid assistance – and it’s the first all-new engine that the British company has designed and built in-house since 1968.

No power or torque figures have been confirmed, but Aston Martin has confirmed that the unit will use the popular “hot vee” format, with the turbocharger system mounted between the cylinder banks for the benefit of packaging. The company has also confirmed that the TM01 unit weighs less than 200kg.

Aston Martin has big plans for the engine. After the Valhalla has made its official debut in 2022, the 3.0-litre V6 will be used in a number of new cars, including a Ferrari SF90 Stradale rival. The company’s CEO, Andy Palmer, confirmed: “This power unit will be integral to a lot of what we do, and the first signs of what it will achieve are incredibly promising.”

Production of the Aston Martin Valhalla will be strictly limited to 500 examples, with each costing around £1million. The project is a collaborative effort between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing, and borrows technology from the latter company’s Formula One racing experience.

The Valhalla is also the latest “V-badged” car in the British brand’s line-up, following a 70-year tradition dating back to the high-performance variant of the 1951 Aston Martin DB2, which was unofficially badged as the Vantage. Since the fifties, a host of V-badged cars have joined the fold, including the Virage, the Vanquish, the Vulcan and the Valkyrie.

Aston Martin Valhalla, the British marque's first series production mid-engine supercar, is reaping benefits of the world’s fastest laboratory, Formula-1.
  • Race proven methodologies, expertise and technologies used by the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One team are being adopted by Aston Martin to intensify the development of future models.
  • Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT) is directly assisting Aston Martin's performance engineering team in three key areas of development: Dynamics, Aerodynamics and Materials.
  • F1 design relies heavily on simulation tools and the methods used to ensure that every moment spent in the simulator brings progress has been put in place for Valhalla.
  • The 90% of dynamic characteristics and vehicle set-up has been completed in the simulator, with the final development phase completed in the real world, on the road and track.
  • The elite level skills and knowledge of drivers like Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso can take dynamics to a new level as they continue to push the car to extreme edge of its performance capabilities.
  • The first running prototype will take to the road later this year, with Aston Martin Valhalla all set to enter production in 2024.

Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® team driver, Fernando Alonso, said, “Having followed this project closely for the past 18 months and working alongside the development team, unveiling Valhalla’s dynamic capability to the world at the Monaco Grand Prix weekend is a fantastic moment for both myself and the brand. Taking Aston Martin’s unmatched luxury credentials and added cutting-edge F1® inspired technology and class-leading performance, I can confirm Valhalla is a true supercar both on road and on track. Outside of the outright power and dynamics, it delivers on all of the raw feelings and emotions you look for when behind the wheel of a car like Valhalla.”

Adrian Hallmark, Aston Martin CEO said, “The extreme performance and unprecedented dynamic bandwidth that distinguishes Valhalla from its rivals presented many new opportunities to both the engineering and design teams throughout its development. To witness the culmination of the tireless work from all teams involved, showcased on an iconic F1® circuit like Monaco and driven by an icon like Fernando is a significant moment in Aston Martin’s rich history of both road cars and racing.”
