The Valkyrie is the product of an Innovation Partnership between Aston Martin and Red Bull Advanced Technologies, with the aim of creating a unique road car – a car engineered to be entirely useable and enjoyable as a road car, but with the capability to perform like no road car before it on a race track.
Ricardo will fulfil series production of the transmission, commencing in 2019. The multi-year programme will produce a maximum of 150 road-going Valkyrie hypercars and an additional 25 track-only versions.
“I am extremely pleased that we are able to announce this important production contract,” commented Ricardo Performance Products managing director Mark Barge. “This award builds upon the well-established but continually growing reputation of Ricardo in the design, development and manufacture of some of the world’s most advanced and high performance driveline systems and technologies.”
