The Aston Martin Valkyrie is one of the most eagerly awaited hypercars in recent years. Developed in collaboration with Red Bull Racing, Michelin, and other partners, the Valkyrie draws design inspiration from Formula One vehicles. Each car is custom-built to meet the specific desires of its owner. In a unique request, one customer even sought to include a piece of the moon in the car’s design.
Instagram user Kris Singh, known for his remarkable collection of rare hypercars, purchased a genuine moon rock. He plans to have it crushed and mixed into the Karosserie Lunar Red paint for his Valkyrie. This creative idea stemmed from a comment by Miles Nurnberger, Aston Martin’s exterior design director, who noted that the Valkyrie resembles a spacecraft. Although Singh has not disclosed the cost of this celestial-inspired paint job, he intends to document the journey once the car is delivered and sent to Karosserie in Pennsylvania.
Singh owns a notable array of hypercars, including several ultra-rare Paganis, a Koenigsegg Agera XS, and one of only three Lamborghini Venenos ever made, in addition to his still-to-come Aston Martin.
While Singh’s out-of-this-world Valkyrie is still in the works, the car itself is making strides toward production. Aston Martin plans to manufacture 150 street-legal units along with 25 AMR Pro models designed for track use. The company claims that the Valkyrie will be the fastest street-legal production car, boasting an impressive 1,130 horsepower and an almost 1:1 power-to-weight ratio. Given these specifications, it may very well rival the record held by the Koenigsegg Agera RS..
