Fancy joining the ‘most exclusive Aston Martin owners club in the world’?
You’ll need to dig deep into your pockets to enjoy this, the Valkyrie LM, a Le Mans-inspired track day car that’s limited to just 10 models.

The regular Valkyrie is Aston’s drool-inducing 1,155 PS hybrid hypercar, a vehicle capable of reaching speeds of up to 220 mph. Just 150 road-going examples of the Valkyrie coupe were created.
A version of the Valkyrie (the ‘AMR-LMH’ model) will compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the coming days.

And this, the Valkyrie LM, offers the ‘ultimate Le Mans hypercar track experience’ for amateur racers who want to hone their own endurance skills.
The LM does away with the regular Valkyrie’s hybrid powertrain and instead relies solely on the Valkyrie’s 6.5-litre, naturally aspirated V12 engine which generates 697 bhp.

Power goes to the rear wheels via a seven-speed sequential transmission operated by semi-automatic paddle shift gear change, just like the competitive version.
Creature comforts are dispensed with inside the cabin and you instead get a bespoke cockpit interface tailored for track day usage as well as user-friendly open-loop torque control (rather than closed-loop which exists for competition regulation and homologation).

A custom-fit carbon fibre race seat features a proper six-point harness. And those lucky enough to own a Valkyrie LM will also be handed a full Aston Martin race kit - which includes a helmet and fireproof undies!
The Valkyrie LM sits on unique performance tyres from F1 supplier Pirelli.

You don’t even need to park the Valkyrie LM in your own garage as you can instead opt to let Aston Martin take care of it for you. They’ll deliver the car to your chosen track as part of a ‘fly in and drive’ experience and even prep it ahead of your session.

Aston Martin CEO Adrian Hallmark said: “In all its forms, there is nothing on Earth that compares to Valkyrie. The Le Mans contender is unique amongst its peers, not least the breathtaking 6.5-litre V12 engine that provides the beating heart for the only competitive hypercar bred from a road car. Valkyrie LM is an exquisite opportunity to be part of the most exclusive Aston Martin owners club in the world; a group who can immerse themselves in the purest and most comparable endurance driving experience, one that would otherwise only be available to our works drivers operating at the very limit of sportscar racing’s highest echelon.”

Deliveries - and the launch of a fully managed and immersive track day programme - will begin in 2026.
How much does the Aston Martin Valkyrie LM cost? Your guess is as good as ours as the British firm isn’t letting on, but you can expect the price tag to be well north of the £2.5m you would pay for the regular road-going Valkyrie.
