Aston Martin Valhalla To Be Featured In The Upcoming 25th James Bond Movie

Aston Martin has confirmed that the Valhalla hypercar will be in 'James Bond 25', along with a DB5 and a V8.

Further extending its deep connection with the James Bond franchise, Aston Martin has recently revealed the carmaker's new mid-engined hypercar Valhalla will be a part of the upcoming 25th Bond movie, staring actor Daniel Craig. In addition to the recently unveiled Aston Martin Valhalla, the new 007 movie will also feature the classic Series II V8 Vantage and the iconic DB5.

While the Vantage was last seen in a Bond film more than 30 years ago when Timothy Dalton drove it in The Living Daylights, the Aston Martin DB5 has been a series regular driven by almost all major 007s.

The new Valhalla will be the first mid-engined Aston Martin car to be driven by a James Bond, and only the second among all. Last time a James Bond character drove a mid-engined car was in the 1981 movie For Your Eyes Only, and it was Roger Moore driving the Lotus Esprit Turbo.

The car uses a carbon fibre monocoque chassis and is powered by a twin-turbocharged V6, assisted by a battery-powered electric hybrid system. The powertrain system is expected to offer a combined power of up 986 bhp. The exhaust system uses dual outlets, which are positioned on top of the car, similar to the Porsche 918 Spyder.
