A short TikTok clip appears to show Aston Martin testing a single-seat hybrid hypercar with a Halo cockpit and extreme Valkyrie-like aerodynamics, and audio suggests a hybrid V12.
The clip shows the prototype exiting an undisclosed track with a very wide body, a single-seat cockpit protected by a Halo, and a front end resembling the Valkyrie with a bladed bumper and pylons connecting to the splitter. The front suspension appears to use double wishbones with pushrod-actuated torsion bars similar to the Valkyrie.
Rear details are harder to discern, but the prototype appears to have a massive wing, center-exit exhaust and a large intake above the cockpit capped by a shark fin; the clip's audio suggests the use of a hybrid V12.
The Valkyrie’s 6.5-liter Cosworth-developed V12 revs to 11,000 rpm and produces a combined 1,160 horsepower, which the report cites as a possible match. Aston Martin has not confirmed the prototype or its powertrain.
