- At this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, we posted ourselves into Aston's £2.5million V12-engined unobtanium for a ride up the hill. It was... well, hit play and let Top Gear Magazine’s Jack Rix try and explain. If he can remember how to talk. And hear.

That would make a good F1 Safety Car, Aston already supply a pair sharing duty with the Mercs. Always a spare safety car at each Grand Prix. Maybe the drivers would then stop complaining the safety car is too slow.
That’s one expensive safety car, things are like £2million each lol
@@RDB33 pocket change for f1.
It’s way too loud and extreme. And I’m not joking. It would make F1 cars look tame. Yes it’s not as fast, but the engine would make F1 cars look pathetic. F1 doesn’t want that. Also, it’s an extremely limited hypercar, so it’s not exactly available as it’s already sold out
@@mikemoggerson6651 yes this is extreme for a road car project but it’d get passed like it’s a Prius on track by a current F1 car, dunno what your smoking 😂
Companies tend to use their more 'attainable' road cars as F1 safety cars. The Valkyrie needs no extra promotion to sell it.
Car seems to be trying as hard as it can to kill them both.
or as hard as it can not to kill them both
You saw it too.
They need Mazda to fix the suspension for them.
Tyres don’t look their best either
Probably be vastly improved on a set of warmed slick tyres
I love the unfiltered joy in Jacks face when the car accelerates. it is the exact same face my son makes when i put my car in sports mode, and he thinks the car is going at lightspeed.
Same except I am the son
How irresponsible.
@@malek4485 sorry mate that's the first troll comment I've ever done, it was a joke just to see if anyone got triggered. I know you didn't and just asked the question. I hope his son loves cars, as do I because my dad used to do handbrake turns and the like, have a good day sir.
@@malek4485 I could tell that by your reply, open ended question with only one logical answer. I enjoy the same sport at times.
I do that when my dad puts his foot down too🤣
Goosebumps instantly with the sound of this car!
I actually think the sound is not so amazing to justify the ugly styling. When it come to sounds a V12 rarely beats a V10.
I'm excited to see what their new Vanquish will sound like.
@@DefinitelyNotEmma the styling is fine. The main improvement i see for the styling would be slightly larger headlights. This V12 sounds absolutely phenominal much better than most v10s i've ever heard by a mile.
@@Illestrapper so you're comparing synthetic sound of the Valkyrie to the likes of the Lexus LFA and Porsche Carrera GT?
@@DefinitelyNotEmma i prefer it over the lfa sound by along shot, the carrera gt on the other hand is arguably one of the best sounding engine ever made. That being said i do think some v12s have comparable if not better sounds than the carrera gt.
@@DefinitelyNotEmma lfa is overrated, this sounds better, none has beaten the murcielogo sv in terms of sound yet, best sounding cars in general are f1 v10s though
Never did I think I'll ever hear such a magnificent v12 noise again. We may get used to the smaller engines but this will always remind us what automotive melody is supposed to be👌🏼
Its just high pitched noise. It has no soul to it like a Lamborghini or the raw power like a low ruling v8 or v10
@@casematecardinal nah, this is what goosebumps are made of, it just sings.
@@casematecardinal Take my dislike
@@kerimca98 you know nobody can see those right?
@@casematecardinal Doesn't matter, you got one from me too🙂
This might be my new favorite car ever.
OMG I LOVE THE CAR
Very weird for a favorite car you’ll probably never get one even if you win the lottery because you’ll grow up and realize it’s retarded af
T.50 tho...
@@r129r16pfl T5.0 is the one.
As amazing as this is, I too have to give it to the T50 and T50s.
You can hear it from the engine that it wanted to rev more, bring this to a proper race track & we can listen to it scream!
Agree. Its being constantly held back. I would love to see it tested.
6:48 The noise! Instant goosebumps.
Sounds like old f1 at that point
@@badb.2826 exactly my thoughts. Brought some old V10 nostalgia
As a kid I dreamed of cars like this existing. So glad it’s a dream come true :)
The snaps on the rear end when theres remotely too much power would make me sh*t myself
“Outside the clurb” 😂😂😂 funny
😂 thought I was the only one.
I feel this car is part of the next gen of hypercars along with the Jesko, Rimac etc. The la Ferrari, 918 and P1 are the last generation! Seemingly it goes in 10 year cycles as the Enzo was 10 years before them
Don't count out the T50. 850kgs. 750hp. 14100rpm. It seems everyone is having wet dreams over 11,000 rpm...... and forgetting a car with a 3000rpm higher redline coming soon.
@@markorchard2272 oh of course, those were just a few examples. It’s impossible not to love Murray’s design philosophy regarding space, practicality and lightness
These are pathetic paper tigers you mentioned! The real hyper cars are championed in the WEC and in LeMans 24hrs legendary race starting 2021. Sadly we all know this fact, but can't see past all the BS hyper hype.
@@markorchard2272 Think you’ve got the T50 numbers wrong there. Should be 986kg, 650hp, 12,100rpm
I think you may be off here, as the Valkyrie competes with the AMG PROJECT 1 and Rimac competes with Evija. Jesko is just another mega car in the ranks of Bugatti etc.
"It's about the engine this car" couldn't have been more belittleing. This car is so much more.
I keep replaying and i keep recrying!! I play and i cry! I have never ever been so touched by a car engine sound like this one.. I am very very greatful and thankful for this beautiful piece of a being that this monster masterpiece is! Thank you guys:)
does anyone feel that way about this engine or is it just me??
That is one of the best sounding cars I've ever heard. the mix of engine and electric motor. Gives it a beautiful beastly sound. sounds like something from another world.
Chills and shit 🤯
Those were the days bikes ruined cars for me
I want Hammond to come here he'll crash it even if he's in the passenger seat.
lol
Lol
@Majority of 1 If you don't find it amusing then bugger off
@@EDPistons Ok boomer.
@Majority of 1 Don't expect that joke to go away.
That car fights back! Awesome machine. Saw it at GoodWood. The sound is intense, then you get that 2000hp Rimac and Lotus that look brilliant but are just, odd, being silent.
The Rimac doesn't even look brilliant, it just looks conservative and odd. The Evija looks great from the back.
@@garosama4517 Oh yes it does, it's also for a much better designed interior over the Lotus and will age better.
@@marksapollo EVs won't age well anyway, because all they do is be faster than the one before it. The Rimac will be forgotten as soon as the next 3000hp EV hypercar arrives.
That bar has been reset!! This is another Mclaren F1 moment.
Ford did it a decade earlier. If only we could have actually seen a Ford powered lotus. One can only imagine what the car landscape would have looked like today.
@AVIO before the F1. It was a planned gt40 successor. Its a pretty interesting story
So they didn’t do it
@@casematecardinal So ford did absolutely jack shit. Look at OP's comment and say it with me: this is another mclaren f1 moment.
@@jonnyj. except they did. My point is that if ford had put that car into production it would have drastically altered the course of history. Your inability to grasp the concept that I'm presenting says more about you than me. It could have meant we got a much faster f1 and so on and so on into the modern day. So pull your head out of your ass and take a hike.
I love how friendly and easy-going the driver is, ha-ha. Just a chill guy!
The wailing of the engine when revved...
The actual driving starts at 6:30.
Most eagerly awaited Top Gear video ever. Worth the wait. Epic.
This and the amg one will make a heck of a comparo video.. Make it happen!
One of the best track focused- road legal car ever.👍
THE best
Which means it's not a necessarily good car.
Track focused cars don't need to be road legal, so why even bother to compromise on it and ruining it with road use stuff when you could go full GT3?
@@DefinitelyNotEmma because of the egos of rich people who are actually going to buy them.
@@DefinitelyNotEmma road legal Valhalla is coming,
@@DefinitelyNotEmma Who cares. If ur one the money for one of these things, ur gonna wanna be driving it everywhere, well at least I would;)
That's a LIVELY ride on a damp driveway for sure, and my goodness, it does sound like a good old n/a F 1 car !!

I Love Aston Martin For Building Works Of Art Like This, Incredible
“f1 inspired” when it was supposed to go to le mans and wec but stroll said no
Such a disappointment
It wasnt anything to do with Stroll buying and them going into F1. It was due to the collaboration between IMSA and WEC opening up the LMDh and LMH convergence to be BOPed together. The Valkyrie was to be sold as a customer car alongside the works teams to make back the cost of the development. With the cheaper option of LMDh being offered to run at Le Mans and in WEC, Aston Martin decided to pull the plug as it would not be cost efficient and pumping that much money into the WEC as well as F1 and GT racing without the customer buybacks could probably sink Aston Martin into the red AGAIN. It sucks but its understandable.
@@FirenzeStorm so to save money they went to f1 HUURRRGH
@@FirenzeStorm Yeah racing isn't cheap, specially at the high end of GT and F1! Each car costing a fair few million plus the teams plus the R&D work.
@@lorenzoabanes6351 Aston Martin haven't gone into F1, it's the same Racing Point / Force India team just under a new sponsorship. The same way that Sauber isn't Alfa Romeo but they're the title sponsors.
I counted roughly 55/56 seconds….could you imagine sitting in a car where it did it in 39 seconds 🤯
It would be pretty violent
Check out the IDR's nurburgring run. There's an onboard on UA-cam. Thank me later
@@patmanrick no, check out the 919 Evo, which would demolish the IDR on any track
919 evo much faster than IDR
@@E9X330 ah yeah, my bad, that's the one I meant
The sound gives me goosebumps. Amazing. Can't wait to see this up against other cars on track.
Need about 3 minutes of the sound outside the car ! That F1 sound is one of a kind !
Wow 2 5'8" poeple sitting next to each other, that's a real test of interior space.
It will most likely not concern you or other people watching this video as we won't be able to get, hell even afford that thing
@@MikeM._. exactly 😂
@@MikeM._. sad but true
@@MikeM._. speak for yourself: I’m 7ft 4” and have 8 of these on order
@@maz4304 how about you give, everyone who has commented on this comment, one Valkyrie? lmfao
Was waiting for this!
i love your videos, great content
It's an amazing vehicle. The Brits are killin' it with their new offerings like the Valkyrie, Emira, T.50, Valhalla, and Evija 🇬🇧
Damn. 173cm tall, not overweight and these guys are filling up the cockpit. Good luck to any US buyers!
that is one impressive engineering masterpiece!
Aston have something really special there. Well done to all involved 👏
What a masterpiece of engine. Put your headphone’s volume to the max and enjoyed..Loving it:)
The amount of struggle the driver experienced to gain traction 😨
Tells you all about the car, that it's nowhere as near as fast as advertised..
@@teamracing07 and the tires are onlt 325... for 1160 hp.
@@teamracing07 tells you an 1000hp car on cold tyres will spin it's wheels very easily. Next up, water is wet.
@@jurandspychow3766 plenty of tyre for the track especially when at temp. It isn't a drag racer.
@@teamracing07 who would’ve guessed track tires struggle for grip on damn surfaces
Ultimate Supercar and ultimate n/a Engine!👏🤝✍👍
THIS THING IS AMAZING!
Again. Why is this a UA-cam video?
This is the type of stuff we want on the main show.
I'm not sure Flintoff would fit into this.
@@MrJimmyjammmy Chris would have a hard time too. 🤣
Because this is from the Goodwood Festival of Speed Which has just happened (last week) and there is no series of Top Gear currently being broadcast.
@@AtheistOrphan I watched a couple of the live streams from Goodwood. As always. Was amazing.
My point was this is the sort of content that should be on the main show.
Unfortunately Top Gear main show seems to be more about messing about. Just like the old Top Gear specials. Don't get me wrong, are good, but better when you only had a couple every season.
This is what I love, an awesome sounding engine, none of that silent eco shit
Some people can't love without also hating.
@@kennyg1358 fuck evs
Wow this guy was great! "I want it to be as uncasual as you can possibly allow" yes please lol. We need more of that lol
That v12 💫💫
The ultimate beast!
ua-cam.com/video/6To2s_4Zs-g/v-deo.html This and the amg one will make a heck of a comparo video.. Make it happen!
This is what modern F1 cars should sound like. That noise is fantastic!
this sounds phenomenal i love it
That V12😍 absolutely stunning....
Looks and sounds absolutely amazing. Though it does look like a serious handful to drive. I wonder if that will get smoothened out because that looks murderous in car with that much power.
Love to see what this car could do in a track driven in anger
Death
Waited for this
I love that GTP left us over 20 years ago and manufactures are still trying to develop road going examples. Well done!
Adrian Newey. The man, the myth, the legend. Wonder why he left, I think I know why. Mate, just go with one seat.
It's because Stroll bought Aston, meaning Aston were no longer in a partnership with Red Bull.
@@sonoafafayon Ah.
Looks wonderful. At 6'7" I probably wouldn't fit in one and with my awesome circulation having my feet higher than my hips would send my legs to sleep in a minute so I wouldn't be able to use the pedals. But beyond that it seems like the perfect car!
@Jack Bradford I remember being lent an Exige. Nice looking thing. Didn’t fit. 😩
Hi
I’ll like to introduce you to a 2021 Mazda CX-5 with the perfect comfort for your legs and hips with a special discount. Let me know if interested.
@@moviessage I prefer the 6, but I've already had one, thanks
@ mathew stringer " its knot the car for you unless you employ a racing driver to drive while you are the passenger " ( " in the crying tiger position" ) lol
I read that as Stephen Merchant on the Graham Norton show said he is 6’7”.
Great sound and original design are very attractive. I love the lean products because they are very beautiful.
This is a game changer. Nothin comes closs. Bravo
as Jeremy would say "it's a thoroughbred" all twitchy and nervous...
Looks scary and rowdy on those roads, i love it.
What do you call an endgame car.. Whatever it is, this is it surely.. I struggle to see how any road legal track weapon hypercar tops this and that redline, omg.
The Gordon Murray car might be something else to watch. It's a smaller engine but I think it revs to 12,500 and can rev from idle to max in about 0.6 seconds. (From what I remember)
@@joeogle7729 Won't be nearly as fast
@@joeogle7729 That one won't be as fast but he said he wanted to make the best driving experience you can get on a road car
@@saoz3 thinking about it. Yeah it won't be. Gordon Murray never cares about performance figures but given some of the features the car has, I imagine it will still be pretty lively
Fuck road legal. Waste of time.
What a Beast!! The noise it makes!!
That fireproof balaclava though 👌🏻 😂
How long after this release will we hear about the first wreck? I say less than a month.
That's a pro driver, not pushing the car, and the back end is getting loose out of every corner. You can hear he is having to let off slightly to keep it straight.
road legal with that handling? It drives like some overtuned Muscle Car, very scary.
@@LeonardoDaAngelo It's an 1100 hp 3000lbs car rwd car. You can only do so much. To be fair it would probably drive much better with slicks after a couple laps.
Jack is turning into Seb if you know what I’m talking about
OMG THE POWER THE SOUND I LOVE IT ❤️‼️
Do that outside the club aye?I'm subscribed cus of your knowledge of sauce cuzzo.i fugs wit ya fasho now.
A road car that sounds better than an F1 car. It was always supposed to be the other way round
Austin Martin is a very different company than it was 20 years ago, from making beautiful gt cars with mediocre performance and shoddy build quality to amg powered sports cars and track focused hypercars
Shoddy build quality is still prevalent on their normal cars
@@mercury6765 no they aren’t. Their build quality is actually quite good.
@@AbdullahHood there’s a Jay-emm video where he reviews a new vantage. That car looked poor - but could have been an outlier
@@mercury6765 generally if you see the customer feedback and long term ownership reviews there aren’t particular quality issues versus other brands.
What a beast!!!
Amazing
It’s about as practical as a bikini in a boardroom but under the right circumstances both are outrageously awesome 😂
@Majority of 1 yeah im here
yes, well, picture bezos in one, and get back to us
For all that fancy shit this car struggled for traction the entire time.....
That's because it has no traction control, or it traction control has been turned off.
@@jamesmwangi464 this preproduction car has no TC.
What do you expect on a damp track?
That sound _"insert chef's kiss"_ !!
amazing driving
It’s sad that Jeremy James and Richard arent here doing top gear with us anymore :(
Any kind of accident and forget about finding a repairer
One of the best car sounds ive ever heard😚
Gotta love the practicality
Wow, this machine will blatantly kill anyone who drives this on the road without the respect it deserves. It’s clearly very edgy. Fantastic for the track of course but at slower speeds it’s going to be lethal in the hands of a rich numpty
99% of the owners aren't gonna drive them more than once you don't have to worry
That sounds epic!
One of the most amazing looking cars in the world.
Omg, haven't wacthed Top Gear since the og trio left, but by golly this guy is imitating Richard Hammond's delivery ahah
That sound oh my.
Pure bliss...!!!🥲
I work where the body parts are made for these it's pretty awesome to see it actually driving
That engine sound tho 🤤🤤
A v12 revving above 10k rpm is insane too get all those parts moving so fast is nothing short of amazing
If there's one company which could achieve that, it's Cosworth
Awesome!!!
God that v12 sounds beautiful!
Art
Dope !!
the cc subtitles keep saying [applause]
you got that right
Feel the power!
Sound is epic.
I love the laugh of the driver at 7:56
What a great driver to talk to!
Awesome
Not enough people acknowledge how good of a presenter Jack is.
That is a beautiful car!
