Aston Martin is preparing to make a major splash in motorsport as it readies the Valkyrie hypercar for its dual-racing debut in the 2025 season. The automaker has unveiled the final livery designs for its LMH (Le Mans Hypercar) variant of the Valkyrie,

The Valkyrie hypercar will compete at 24 Hours of Le Mans in the FIA World Endurance Championship and in the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship, where it will race in the 12 Hours of Sebring and the Rolex 24 at Daytona. The Aston Martin is also the first car to compete in both racing series, which speaks to Aston’s competitive ambitions.

Of course, Aston Martin already makes a few cars with manual transmissions. The Valour and Valiant both feature a six-speed unit, but these are high-dollar (even in Aston Martin terms) vehicles that see extremely limited production runs.
