- My passenger experience riding along in the INSANE Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro Hypercar around Laguna Seca Raceway!! Listen to the 1000hp V12 rev to 11,100RPM. Absolutely Brutal!!
This would NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE without the extreme generosity of the team at The Heart of Racing. Please check out there website here: www.theheartof...
More about me? I'm currently driving my Audi RS6 Avant across the country with the end destination set in Alaska. Follow me on Instagram to see where I end up next: / evanlewis.expedition
More info on Hypercar Invitational: hypercarinvita...
It's one of those rare cars that although you are in it experiencing the ride of your life, you want to get out of it and just look and look and look at every single detail.
Standing in the presence of that car is something else. There’s not a single boring angle on it.
🏎️🇯🇵TV
This is basically a watered down miata
I'd love to see this car in club races and see how it goes on track against other cars.
Rolex Monterey events on Laguna Seca.
Or even better, GT1 Sports Club powered by Curbstone. Those events are reserved for track only hypercars. So the AMR Pro would be perfect.
Car seems fun to drive too u gotta wrestle it into corners
Ahh the corkscrew in a Valkyrie. That would make me sweat just a little bit.
Very stiff going down that hill lol
@@AerialAutomotive suspension or penis?
Wow wow wow that's all wow
The full lap was between 2:29 and 3:49, so it's a 1 min 20 sec lap, with a passenger and far from optimal driving. For referense, an old 1998 Mclaren F1 car (actually Formula 1, not the road car) did a 1:10 with a fairly taking it easy lap, not at the limit.
I thought this car was supposed to be faster than a f1 race car???
10 seconds slower is miles slower!!
@@psk5746 I don't think they said it will even match f1, just that it will be on the same league. we have to wait for an official lap to see how true that is.
@@askeladden450 This car won´t ever be in the same league than F1 cars, well F1 of the 2000´s...Maybe they were thinking in 60´s F1 cars when they did their acclaimed.

Çok güzel bir araba.
The AMG One literally has a Formula 1 powertrain for the streets, and I love it. But this...this has more character, this carries the legacy of the Formula 1's of the past...
F1 in the '80s had turbo v6's too. . . these two cars both carry f1 legacies and inspiration, and are both amazing achievements
@@ciello___8307 Well-remembered! I confess I was focused on the V12-powered F1 cars when I was making that comment.
Engine from the past (V12), tech from the present (Hybrid) and aerodynamics from the future (venturi tunnel).
Ok, the venturi tunnel has also existed in the past, but came back in 2022.
Watch Nico Rossberg's comment about the AMG One in his video when he was driving for the first time his own Rimac (recent video).
F1 engine, nice to have. But aerodynamics aren't that good according to him and on top of that, way too heavy (+1700Kg).
If I had the $$$, I would go with Aston without hesitation 😎
The biggest difference between the two cars is in the weight and aero. The AMG weighs 600-700 Kg more and has much less downforce. Performance and emotionwise they don‘t compete
@@Roddy_Zeh yea and the amg one sound even worse than other f1 cars
That outboard front camera footage is superb - clarity and resolution are excellent.
Many thanks for sharing this experience!
Yes! I didn’t even know they strapped a camera to the front of the car when I went for the ride. I’m glad they did!
This is seriously the most intense onboard footage I’ve ever seen. The Valkyrie is no joke
It definitely is not. It’s a wild ride!
Really? Watch the 919 Evo onboard footage
@@Shadowboost lol
Didn't look very intense to me. I've seen dozens of more intense videos from Nürburgring and Spa.
@@Shadowboost Yeah, that is the ONE to compare to. Looks like a fookin video game. Compared to supercars going around the track, the 919 Evo is just insane. th-cam.com/video/PQmSUHhP3ug/w-d-xo.html
I heard Matt Farrah talk about his ride along on his podcast, he said the mclaren senna held the previous production car lap record of 1 minute 27 seconds and the valkyrie did 1 minute 18 seconds on the medium power setting while just going on a chill joyride around the track, not even trying to set a lap record. If it went for a lap record on the highest power setting and new tires and no passenger it would be more like 1 minute 8 seconds or something. Absolutely insane
New Formula 1 safety car!?!?
Epic experience and great footage, reminds me of my drive in a Radical SR8.
Thank you! It was a experience I’ll never forget. Truly the pinnacle of Motorsport!
The boys at Cosworth know their stuff...incredible machine!
1:19 laptime and only taking it easy at ~8/10, imagine what it can do at 10/10
That’s 9s slower than the indycar which +15s slower the f1 car. So about the same pace as a gte, not LMP betting time like they advertise
@@YulHolic24 plzz take into account that the car weight much higher than those you compared plus two full grown men, so yeah 1:19 it's already good with the joy ride setup, FYI czinger 21c make it official time attack at 1:25
@@salopaindahouz Well said! 👍
That "Hunter Tran" would probably pee himself going flat out in this machine at Laguna.
Some people play too many video games 😉
YES! I have been waiting for something like this showcasing the Valkyrie's abilities for so long.
Sounds better than today’s F1 cars, although that’s not fair to the Valkyrie, since it’s a pretty low bar.
the road version is actually noisier than the still loud amr pro version i think i suspect thats because of complicated electronics battery and ev motor combined with first road legal gear smoothness and amr pro is pure na engine without ev tech
Also noise is limited to Track regulations!😉
This video is incredible seeing the car from outside was insane but this is even more crazy I love it the way it screams going over the hills it’s nuts specially start of the full lap 🙌🔥 thanks for recording this how tall are you? I’m 6’6” I don’t think I fit
Thanks so much! I’m glad I could capture the experience and share it. I’m 6’3” and super skinny haha. I fit, but my legs were super cramped.
@@AerialAutomotive can I repost few parts of the video on Instagram and tiktok with credit?
@@MahdiyarSaberi Yes thats fine, my tiktok and Instagram are @evanlewis.expedition. Please credit that account!
DEEPSQUAD🏎️🇯🇵
Promusician🇯🇵
LS is way too tight of a track to fully enjoy the Valkyrie experience, but that's still gotta be an awesome ride.
hows your neck haha! incredible
Haha thankfully I was given a neck brace for the ride. Believe it or not, the hardest part was keeping my long legs from moving side to side and smacking the driver 😅
The pilot must have enjoyed the experience just as much as you. It would be a honor to drive such a machine.
Most definitely!
Awesome! but nowhere nere an F1 car though, as someone once promised it would be:)
Imagine having that guys job… must be rough!
Haha no doubt!
OK OK - so how does one get a ride along? sheez! I'm an Aston owner if that helps? 😃
Do you think Mercedes will do something like this with Amg one?
This looks like epic experience!
The Valkyrie and the Gordon Murray designed GMA T.50 and T.50s Niki Lauda, in my opinion are the three best cars ever made. And they all have engines manufactured by legendary Cosworth. Oh to be a multi millionaire. Still, I do love my 2007 Toyota Yaris.
Awesome video thank you for sharing this amazing experience
Thank you for watching!!
Imagine building a car like this only to waste it’s potential by doing chauffeur laps instead of racing lemans
Room for child car seats in the back?
The next model 🤔
I guess, Koenigsegg Gemera will be a good choice for the future! Not the same as a Valkyrie, but at least 4 persons can have an awesome feeling together!😉
Ryan (the crew chief) is a great dude.
Ian being nice on the equipment 🤣. Didn't touch a kerb
If you had the money and it was available, would you purchase one?or go for a less extreme car? you looked super cramped haha! I'm also curious about the real world usability. If it's one if those track cars that need special attention from Aston Martin to even run or if you're allowed to even keep it in your own garage
I will have to make do with my two wheeled Valkyrie, made by Honda.
Lol!
I love the mileage they put on this hypercar compared to others like bugatti that only seem to serve to keep it in the garage eating dust. :)
one of the few newest hypercars that lives up to its huge hype
Absolutely agreed!
Coolest video on TH-cam right now
The GM T.50 is just miles better. Just the way you have to get in this thing is mental. Oh great, "it's road legal" .. good luck looking like a clown trying to get out of your £2.6 million car at breakfast runs.. also the safety.. that thing catches fire.. imagine trying to climb out! ...no thanks Astin has some stunning cars..but this is waste of talent and money.
What time did it set?
I think it did a 1:18 was it’s fastest time of the weekend
@@AerialAutomotive I see. Thanks!! 🙏
@@AerialAutomotive was this on the full power setting? Were drivers pushing to the max?
The fact Aston pulled out of the Hyper car era of endurance racing is a joke.
they prefer being a backmarker in F1 instead. honestly, with all the endurance racing experience they have together with Newey's brilliance, they could have been pretty successful in lmh
@@askeladden450 I don't think the valkyrie is lmh legal in this form.
Because they went into F1. Mercedes, Porsche and Audi pulled out of several race series for F1. But nobody criticizes them...
And don't forget, Aston is a very small company compared to the three I've mentioned on top of that, a way lower budget.
@@askeladden450 Endurance don't have the marketing power of F1.
Give Aston Martin some time, they will perform better than now.
New top class engineers. Brand New top notch best in class facilities, all this needs time. Schumacher/Brawn/Byrne/Todt needed 4 years to get on top by spending +500 million a year and having the possibility to test as much as they wanted.
It's a different story today.
Let them a couple years before judging.
@@sesvid I agree but they also are building and running multiple of these hyper cars for track days, I don't think they are lacking funds to do WEC, plus some of the hypercars are being run by independent teams as well, they literally have a car ready right here, just need to put a team together.
Just wish this car would be racing.
I agree. It’s a shame it won’t be competing
The driver must be so bored with his job… Imagine having to drive a Valkyrie AMR Pro everyday…
Crying shame aston martin aren't using this for lmh class... hopefully audi buys then out and they can focus on what makes their brand.
F1 for the road
The car looks beautiful but that drive didn't look or sound fun. F1 cars look more comfortable.
1 min 21 seconds with a passenger... imagine the driver alone trying a lap record... my god
Their fastest lap of the day was a 1:19. That’s with the cars operating at 8/10 of capable power.
@@Rezcuz the DPis do around 1:14 - 1:16 so it's not miles behind. On a serious lap, I think it will atleast match the DPis, if not a little bit faster.
@@Rezcuz it was the Acura LMP2, because the weight (800 kg only).
I would never put my thumb down...ever👍🏾🤣🤣🤣🤣
Too bad he was not really pushing. Cant wait to see a real speed run.
i can't believe they allowed him to ride with his knees like that!!! wow WRONG
Wow. Just wow. We've been on many hot laps, but that looks insane.
This isn't a great circuit to test hyper cars , need an f1 circuit with longer straights and nice long sweeping corners.Every time the engine gets going there is a corner
Great engine but imho it's UGLY, think I'll pass.
*This* is a hypercar, not the Bugatti Chiron or the millionth edition of the Aventador
THIS LOOKS RIDICULOUS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I HOPE THE STREET CAR IS NOT THE SAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Putting this car into the street is just nonsense. It should be only for the track.
I like Gordon Murray's version of a supercar, as it is not so stupid.
Love it! The only thing I despise is that gutless engine.
Wish I could repost parts of the video with credit
Most excellent raw footage, no music no nothing…just pure raw engine sounds 😎😎😎
So a lap time of around 1 min 20 seconds not that impressive
this is not a super car, it is a closed two-seater Formula 1. 😲
You know a car is mental when you get told you may feel ill 😂
8/10?? Could have gone harder in some corners.
So did the passenger get sick? They always do when I do hot laps for people, hard work being a passenger.
PS does anyone else find this car average - ugly to look at?
Im not quite sure Adrian Newey could care less about aesthetics on the eye's, but cosworth have nocked it out of the park with the engine, just like singer has done with their engines, built to perfection.
2:24 car is trying to lift off the damn ground
All this super car's costs so much money they look ugly
This guy drives pretty slow on sector 2.
Lap time 1.22
So nowhere near F1/Lmp1 pace
5sec faster then road legal McLaren Senna
@@r129r16pfl The team said it could do sub 1:10, that’s definitely LMP1 pace.
That’s about what he did with me in the passenger seat. I believe their fastest lap of the day was 1:18
Only going about half speed?
He should a given 2 thumbs and a 1 more 🙏
I timed the lap between 2:23 and 3:46, that means that the Valkyrie can lap Laguna Seca in about 1 minute and 24 seconds, that is faster than an Indycar.
How'd you manage to mess that up? The lap was between 2:29 and 3:49, so it's a 1 min 20 sec lap, with a passanger and far from optimal driving.
Indycars are so slow
The dude wasn't even pushing. Aston Martin claim it can lap laguna seca in 1:10. Even if they are exaggerating, it could probably atleast do around 1:12
@@joshsmithson7955 Colton Herta's Indycar pole lap in 2021 was 1:10.7994. A month ago, the #10 Acura DPi car did a 1:13.924 pole lap. The LMP2 cars in May 2022 ran 1:17.nnn quali laps, which is probably about where this Valkerie would end up in a single-driver quali push. Pato ran Mika's Hakkinen's 1998 MP4-13A in November and turned a 1:12. Around COTA, a modern F1 pole lab is about 15s faster than an IndyCar but Laguna Seca is shorter so Max could probably turn about a 59s quali lap in a 2021 F1 car. th-cam.com/video/qRv-nwlohp8/w-d-xo.html
Looks like the New Batmobil im Green.
Can Randy Pobst put in a lap time please?
Was that a sub 80sec lap with a passenger!/
Don't ride over the kerbs stay on pavements
Wow! This car looks so insane! Great video btw!
Thank you!
SUCCESS..!! I want to see more of this Valkyrie....................................!
The forgot to remove the fender protectors. Smh.
Is this steering wheel different from other Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro ?
I watched a few videos about the amr pro and its steering wheel is similar to the base version.
Less than 6min at nurburgring for sure)
This whipes the floor with the MERC ONE
This car is in another league from the 'hypercars.' Whether the MB 1, Koeneg-wagon, etc. This thing is "F1-ly" (with a radical's downforce). You can just see it. This thing's gonna not only break, but hold records that these ~1800 - 2200 HP cars cannot touch.
What an utter waste of time and money.
Strange sound and amortization.
Wow
lap record was prob just shattered
Sheesh 🔥🔥🔥
my goodness
Seems very hard to drive
No ‘oh-sh*t’ handles?
Seems to under-steer quite a bit.
The new meaning of FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST.
You're wife, girlfriend, boyfriend or whoever? Better be pretty freaking thin, if you plan on taking them out for terrifying track day jaunts in that thing! Looks comparable to taking a ride inside of a tightly rolled vegetarian sandwich! I shouldn't, but I love that freaking car!
Wow👏
He's driving on safe mode.
Go for a ride in a Porsche 962
C'est un français le pilote ?
This car for short people
💩👖this trip is Amazing! 🤣OMG,
Haha yes!! Thank you
Sorry, it's ugly.
I want one....
Great footage and intense feedback sensation only buy watching ! So I can imagine inside the car !! 👍🏽 Thanks for this!
Lol that dood is using his knees as earrings. She tight up in there. Sounds MORE F1 than F1!!
