- 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
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
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
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!
YES! I have been waiting for something like this showcasing the Valkyrie's abilities for so long.
The boys at Cosworth know their stuff...incredible machine!
one of the few newest hypercars that lives up to its huge hype
Absolutely agreed!
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!
Most excellent raw footage, no music no nothing…just pure raw engine sounds 😎😎😎
Awesome video thank you for sharing this amazing experience
Thank you for watching!!
Everything about this car is mad, it’s looks, handling, and that engine wow
The pilot must have enjoyed the experience just as much as you. It would be a honor to drive such a machine.
Most definitely!
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.
This looks like epic experience!
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🇯🇵
New Formula 1 safety car!?!?
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?
LS is way too tight of a track to fully enjoy the Valkyrie experience, but that's still gotta be an awesome ride.
I'm so proud to have been part of this project ❤
You for real? If so that's so sick
@@ThePsychicFish possibly not in the way you think, but I'm an engineer at Cosworth
@@mikechapman1108 still sick, you should be proud
damn!! your job is my dream dude!!
@@mikechapman1108 You must take special pride in making 2 amazing bespoke V12s back to back - Valkyrie and T50. No other manufacturer has ever done that, not even Lamborghini or Ferrari. What an engine!
Ryan (the crew chief) is a great dude.
Ian being nice on the equipment 🤣. Didn't touch a kerb
What a beautiful experience be inside that machine and go for a spin ! ❤❤❤ love it 🎉
Wow. Just wow. We've been on many hot laps, but that looks insane.
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. :)
Great footage and intense feedback sensation only buy watching ! So I can imagine inside the car !! 👍🏽 Thanks for this!
Wow! This car looks so insane! Great video btw!
Thank you!
SUCCESS..!! I want to see more of this Valkyrie....................................!
what a video! thanks for posting, such a unique experience of such a unique car!
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 😉
Coolest video on TH-cam right now
Well done on the video quality,Shmee's camera couldn't cope with the speed of this demon machine 😭😭💯
Stunning footage.
Sounds better than today’s F1 cars, although that’s not fair to the Valkyrie, since it’s a pretty low bar.
Sound reminds me of an f50 GT…. I LOVE it
their redline is similar tbh, about 11500 rpm
Imagine having that guys job… must be rough!
Haha no doubt!
Best video on the internet
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 whipes the floor with the MERC ONE
What an opportunity. Absolutely insane.
Wow just wow gave me goosebumps
This is absolutely a pure-bred race car.
Honestly thought it would sound nicer in the cabin but they exhaust note is heaven
F1 for the road
Can't wait to have a drive.
What! A! Car!😍🤗
Ultimate Hypercar! Hands down!😎
Agreed!
That air compressor running after the shift into first is like a warning buzzer that shit's about to get serious.
Evan my king 😩😩😩😩😩🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 that was incredible
Happy to provide for my peasants.
Ahhh the Vagner!Very nice.I have two.
Yes please.
Awesome! but nowhere nere an F1 car though, as someone once promised it would be:)
Wow👏
Insane
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.
He's driving on safe mode.
Wowie....! Amazing 👏
Wow wow wow that's all wow
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
That corkscrew bend 😳
I will have to make do with my two wheeled Valkyrie, made by Honda.
Lol!
This Car is a Machine !! but dam it's tight inside....
Yes! Super small cockpit
@@AerialAutomotive The joke is that one reviewer wrote he had much more space in an F1 cockpit than in this.
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.
th-cam.com/video/w7BR0gwt46E/w-d-xo.html
Looks like the New Batmobil im Green.
You know a car is mental when you get told you may feel ill 😂
WOW
my goodness
He should a given 2 thumbs and a 1 more 🙏
1:24 *BOOM*
Do you think Mercedes will do something like this with Amg one?
Amazing car
I like Gordon Murray's version of a supercar, as it is not so stupid.
damn that entry into the hairpin on the second lap was pretty awesome. he was fighting for grip right before entering 🤯
Yeah, he had a little too much speed going into that one. Still pulled it off!
Love it! The only thing I despise is that gutless engine.
Sheesh 🔥🔥🔥
#FastCar!
Low 1:20’s must feel insane as a passenger!
Wow
😂😂😂😂🙆♂️I can't believe that speedo. 160 then 180 and all of a sudden were at 220kph. Mad!!!🔥🔥🔥
You didn't see the 160-315 kmph pull video? That was mad. It was running 200 HP short and still pulling hard. Seems to have no drag at all for a car making 2500 kilos of peak downforce and 3G turns.
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 😅
I would never put my thumb down...ever👍🏾🤣🤣🤣🤣
😍😍
Too bad he was not really pushing. Cant wait to see a real speed run.
OK OK - so how does one get a ride along? sheez! I'm an Aston owner if that helps? 😃
wish i was at laguna seca when this happened
My god
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
The new meaning of FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST.
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 used to race a 250cc Superkart. Cornering, braking, acceleration was incredible and 440BHP/tonne. It wouldn't have been much slower than this. It only cost $20k.
So much nonsense in your comment, jeez 🤦
Çok güzel bir araba.
I want one....
Well done buddy. Great video. Portsmouth England 🏴
Lol that dood is using his knees as earrings. She tight up in there. Sounds MORE F1 than F1!!
Was this during the Quail HyperCar meet thing?
this is not a super car, it is a closed two-seater Formula 1. 😲
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.
Wish I could repost parts of the video with credit
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?
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
I want that job.
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.
