Aston Martin has confirmed plans to attend this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance to mark 70 years since entering the North American market. To celebrate this milestone, the Gaydon-based luxury sports car manufacturer will host the US debut of the Valhalla<\/a> as well as introduce an “exciting new product which extends the brand’s performance credentials a step further.”<\/p>\n While the car’s identity has not been disclosed, the adjacent teaser image seemingly indicates we are dealing with a roadster version of the Valkyrie, Aston Martin’s flagship model. The hybrid hypercar has gullwing doors in the coupe body style, but this image shows the Valkyrie with scissor doors \u2013 a change in layout usually associated when an automaker transforms a sports coupe into a convertible.<\/p>\n It is unclear at this point whether Aston Martin has developed the Valkyrie Roadster with a removable top or the hypercar will come exclusively without a roof. If it does have a top, it\u2019s likely a manually removable targa panel since there doesn’t seem to be any space in the back to fold down a soft roof, let alone a hardtop.<\/p>\n Aside from the different roof setup, the Valkyrie Roadster should be mechanically identical to the coupe. Its heart and soul will be a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine developed by Cosworth working together with a hybrid system. The combined output will stand at a staggering 1,160 horsepower (865 kilowatts) and 900 Newton-meters (664 pound-feet) of torque.<\/p>\n
