Only five units will be brought in and two have already been booked
It seems the hybrid supercar segment in Malaysia is starting to heat up. Following the arrival of the Ferrari SF90 Stradale in September 2020 and its Spider derivative in June this year, Aston Martin Kuala Lumpur has announced it will join the fray with the recently-unveiled Valhalla.
However, those who wish to get their hands on the Gaydon hybrid supercar need to get their chequebooks out quickly as there are only three units left. According to the company, a total of five units of the Valhalla were allocated for Malaysia and as of today, two have already been spoken for.
The official price for our market has yet to be announced but in its home country, the Valhalla is available at a starting price of GBP600,000 (RM3.5 million) excluding duties, taxes and of course, options.
As a refresher, the Valhalla is powered by a rear-mid-mounted 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 engine and a pair of electric motors that churn out a whopping combined power output of 950 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque.
The powertrain is completed by an all-new 8-speed DCT transmission driving the rear wheels. There is also an Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (E-Diff) on the rear axle for maximum traction and handling agility.
Performance-wise, the Valhalla is capable of completing the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 2.5 seconds and reaching a top speed of 330 km/h. Running in EV-only mode, it can speed up to 130 km/h and cover as far as 15 km.
