FIRST DRIVE! Aston Martin Valkyrie: An F1 Car For The Road | Henry Catchpole - The Driver's Seat
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 бер 2023
- In this episode, Henry Catchpole finally gets to drive the incredible Aston Martin Valkyrie. Under the spectacular floodlights of the Sakhir F1 Circuit in Bahrain, we got some answers as to whether this hypercar developed with Red Bull lives up to the promise of being one of the all-time greats. Will future generations mention it in the same breath as the McLaren F1, the Bugatti Veyron and the original supercar, the Lamborghini Miura?
With a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 producing 1000bhp and revving to 11000rpm it has certainly got an engine that is memorable from outside the car let alone from behind the wheel. But what will 1100kg of downforce feel like? Will it actually feel drivable?
There is also an incredible ride in the track-only AMR Pro version of the Valkyrie, with none other than Formula One driver Nico Hülkenberg. Pulling over 3G around Silverstone is an interesting experience as you can tell from Henry’s face!
It’s fair to say that the development of the Valkyrie hasn’t always been easy and the video also explores what the challenges were and dives into some of the extraordinary stories that surround the car’s gestation. Just how did Adrian Newey’s phenomenally bold aerodynamic design finally make it into production as a full homologated road car? And what have sausage and mash in a pub near Milton Keynes and the Space Shuttle programme got to do with it?
We hope you enjoy the film. Let us know in the comments where we should take the Valkyrie when we get to drive it on the road.

Thank you so much for all the fabulous comments. It's enormously appreciated. We really wanted to do the Valkyrie justice, so I'm glad that has come across in the film. As ever, a huge shout out to Glenn Winhall for all his work behind the scenes on this. And if you want one more fun fact about the car (there are so many but I'll pick just one, for now), the hydraulics for the active suspension use a pump from an AH-64 Apache helicopter...
Brilllaint job henry, that was epic watching
Fantastic Video. I could watch an hour long special about this. This car is the new king of super cars as are you as a journalist. Bravo.
One of the greatest automotive journalists of all time, alongside Harry Metcalfe
Top notch Henry!
I really liked the story about the windscreen wiper, but Lotus had the same problem (curvature on two axes) with the Elise and they solved it with the wiper from a citroen AX.
Aston Martin lifting embargo on Valkyrie impressions directly after a fantastic Formula 1 season launch is simply impeccable timing.
Not to mention the fact that the Valkyrie and Valhalla were made in collaboration with Reb Bull Racing. Which is also quite ironic considering the resemblance of the f1 cars
@@toddbrown4185 A good point and on that I forgot! Was that about 4 years ago? That would have been in the midst of them engineering a champion-winning car.
This car is lovely to drive
Furthermore, both Red Bull and Aston Martin were on the podium at Bahrain!
good timing tbh
I was fortunate to be sitting next to Henry on the train into London last week and couldn’t help notice he was working on the edit for this video. I clocked him on the platform, gave him and smile and a nod and kept myself to myself. Once we’d got off the train, I couldn’t help tell him I didn’t want to come across as a fan boy but that his work was absolutely brilliant and it was evident to see how much hard work goes into making amazing content. Editing at 7:30am is testament to that! Unassuming, humble, I dare say not fully aware of the impact his content makes on petrolheads. Henry, you’re an asset to motoring journalism, keep up the amazing work, I’ll follow wherever you go (not literally!!😂) 👊🏻
Wowowowow! Lucky you! Nothing wrong with being a fanboy in this case... 😅😅
I hope you collected a few hairs from seat he sat on
Yes Henry is a true great i have enjoyed his work since early Evo days
Really nice to meet you! And thank you for the kind words.
Great story. His work really is top notch.
During the track runs, there was no music, no sudden cuts. Just speed and noise. Fantastic.
That V12 singing is pretty much music
Yeah, that's what separates videos like this from every other video of cars on UA-cam. This is how it's done. Let the car speak for itself.
For Aston of all companies to actually make the next hypercar benchmark is beyond insane. Like this one is truly special
Well deserved. With such a history with ups and downs I can only applaud their efforts in making the next king of Supercars. Bravo.
@@GarageSupra ramadhan mubarak, Garage AU. From Purwanti Allan.
This is what you get when you put Newey in charge :P
I think this is a landmark in the Hagerty videos as well. Henry really has the ability to bring you along with him on these drives. Great stuff from you and the Aston team
Feels like and old Chris Harris video.
@@jojosleezy chris harris review of the car came out too, and the review of carwow too, at the same moment lol
@@kwamea.n1723 Yes, all of em came out at the same time because the embargo was lifted and it's basically a race to be the first to grab attention.
wow Aston Martin really got back on its tracks, both formula 1 this year and then this car, props
This car was actually developed by Adrian Newey at the Red bull wind tunnel when Aston was a title sponsor for Red Bull.
All because of Laurence Stroll, that man turns anything he touches into gold.
@@SosopChabot that my friend is facts
@@SosopChabot Gold you say....
..I think it would be a bit weird if I asked Laurence Stroll to touch me.
@@SosopChabot how about his son's F1 career? You think he's got anything in that magic bag for that?
Hulkenberg just showed that F1 drivers are from another planet. Watching him blast through the corners faster than the mind can comprehend, and brake so late it made Henry wince, shows these guys are more akin to jet pilots than us car drivers
my mind was broken at that part of the video. I had no Idea where the f** he is driving i would just crash
As an automotive engineer, i literally cried.
I woke up to what appeared to be an embargo lifted on the Valkyrie. About six videos about the first impressions. While scrolling down them I noticed Hagerty and Henry Catchpole and I had no question which video I was going to watch first. I knew 💯 that this would be the best first look at this machine.
No question here, either! Thanks for watching!
I’m on my third in a row 😅
Ditto. Henry’s articulate, understated enthusiasm is a win for me every time.
😆😆snap!
Thank you, Justin. Much appreciated.
This reminded me of the video Chris Harris did on the McLaren P1 back in the day where he drove it at Yas Marina and talked to Chris Goodwin. That video to this day is still the best video he has ever done, so this coming close makes it even more special. So cool to see Henry thriving!!
And just like back then we were not told the truth. P1 had Dallara carbon tub, Akebono brakes, Nissan engine, Ricardo or Dyna gearbox (don't remember). Only thing that was mclaren was 50% of suspension. Awesome car but these days its way more of a world wide effort than a company project.
Spot on, Harris with the P1 at Yas Marina and this are two top rate videos!!!!! I still watch Harris’s video probably once every 2-3 months. It was SSOO good.
@@dwakim1 but that one was much better.
Miura, McLaren F1, Veyron... Will history look back on the Valkyrie as a landmark car, uttered in the same breath as these automotive legends?
yes. yes history will. superb vehicle
Definitely
It's a leap in the sense that it's road-legal, but it's not a road car. It does seem to be the most visceral of the track toys, but if you're shopping in this price range, a previous-gen F1 car probably isn't out of reach. I'm much more keen to see how the T33 and T50 move the needle, even if they're radically slower.
well...what about the Mercedes Project One?
sensationel car from Aston.
No it will be seen as one in a trinity made up of the AMG Project 1, T50, and Valkyrie similar to the 918, McLaren P1, and LaFerrari.
The Miura, McLaren F1, and Veyron stood alone for years which is why they’re such defining landmark cars.
It’s amazing that Cosworth got the same horsepower as the Veyron with no turbos and half the capacity. Truly a great engine.
Amazing engine company. You can see people keep going to them over the years for bespoke engines.
Yep, and the fact a car with such a low production run has to meet emissions is ridiculous. They probably burned more fuel trying to develop a motor and emission equipment to meet the standards than these will collectively burn in their lifetimes! If the production run of a car is less than 5000 units a year they should just be able to run free. Like you wouldn't put a methane catcher on a horse! Chances are most all will only see a handful of km a year anyway.
@@TheSakuragihanimichi Agreed, as the major manufacturers go over to EV over the next few decades, the craftsmen at places like Cosworth will continue to produce these ICE masterworks, hopefully combined with more h shifters like the T.50!
This kind of video only comes around every 10 years or so, and it’s worth every second. 10/10
I think the Valkyrie just de-throned the V12 Vantage as my favorite Aston Martin
It looks to be an amazing car, but the sound isn't quite there for me. I think I'd probably take a Vulcan over this (as if)... partly because I'd be able to flatter myself in thinking I might be able to get a little more out of the Vulcan... plus, listening to Chris Harris drive that Vulcan in Abu Dhabi... 😵
Perhaps the 1952 db3 spider is still my favorite, but the Valkyrie literally gives it a run for its money.
I’d like to ask Henry which one he prefers the Valkyrie or the DBR1 that raced at Le Mans.
I think you're 16, tops.
Vulcan is still my fave.
What an incredible piece of engineering. Hats off to Aston martin ,Cosworth, Ricardo, Adrian Newey , British engineering at its best.
There’s a reason damn near every F1 car is built in the UK
@@loganamurray64 yes. What about Haas F1??
@@purwantiallan5089 what do you think damn near means?
that thing sounds out of this world 🤯
As an American, I look at Valkyrie and say THAT! That is how a small tiny island nation turns out some of the greatest vehicles of all time. Total focus, total obsession, zero compromise. Engineering nirvana.. Hats off to Aston for even trying this..
Worked for Multimatic for a while during the final run of the Ford GT and the Valkyrie doing carbon fiber laminating on both tubs. Makes me so happy and proud seeing this. A lot has changed since then, and I've embarked on my own adventure with knowledge and inspiration. This car is incredible. But this is far from peak automotive performance. What's next is something that will bring human physiology and endurance to its absolute limit.
Brilliant work Hagerty and Henry ✨️
Well, that's a tease! :) How long before this maelstrom of speed is unleashed?
Speechless, for both the car and the video.
The sound sends chills down you spine, and the driving footage is immersive and focused. No jump cuts or effects needed. I can't fathom actually being in the cockpit.
Superbly done, to Catchpole and the whole team.
Welcome in the best Aston Martin of all time. Congratulations to the engineers for their patience and perseverance.
A landmark film by a landmark crew for a landmark car. The cinematography, breadth of Mr Catchpole’s storytelling makes this a 23 minute short film that draws you in and won’t let go.
I’m very glad to see you continuing on with Hagerty. Cheers!
quite simply a masterpiece and a masterclass of engineering.
You beeing allowed and able to really drive this car is a seal of your excellence and competence. It's a landmark, no doubt. I'm so happy for you and the success your hard work has brought to you, everyone you work with and us who happily tag along. Like Valkyrie you're one of a kind.
Then they let Matt Watson drive it and he broke it.
The cutting-out of the rear-view mirror is exactly what I expected from AM. Well done!
The vibrations must be crazy.
It could not actually be cutting out, but an effect of the camera shutter speed going out of sync with the screens refresh rate given Henry didn't actually mention noticing it?
@@supersnail5000 I don’t know much about video cameras but why would the shutter rate be variable and not constant such that it only occasionally matches up with the screen?
@@nima6150 I do actually think its likely just a result of the car being in development, as there's also some artefacting from the looks, just weird that it wasn't mentioned. You definitely would expect it to be a regular strobing combined with rolling shutter if it were a camera artefact. Not to say displays and cameras couldn't drift out of sync, and this is a concern on some professional shoots, as oscillators aren't perfectly stable, but was far more common with analogue technology.
@@nima6150 The frame rate of the camera filming this video is not synchronized with the frame rate of the rear-view LCD in the car, so occasionally the camera will capture a frame at the same moment that the LCD is between frames. If you're sitting in the car, the rear-view will appear continuous just like any LCD monitor displaying video.
james is so damn passionate he talks about the valkyrie like it’s his kid 😂
That opening lap with Nico was insane 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
You too man wow that was intense
When Aston Martin really put effort into racing, they are seriously impressive. I remember their Group C car, the AMR1, from 1989, that thing was brand new for that season and finished something like 6th at the end of the season, and it had the most glorious sounding V8 I've ever heard.
Igualmente, este auto fue diseñado por Adrián newey, no por aston... se creó cuando Aston era el patrocinador de red bull en colaboración
@@Obj777k No. Solo ideado. Un coche no es disenado por una persona. Mas alla de usar su nombre como reclamo publicitario, el senor Newey tienen entre poco y nada de merito sobre este coche.
@@an-dr6eu no fue ideado solamente, no vez que una de las primeras versiones tenía una livery de Redbull?, trabajaron en conjunto para hacerlo y lo tuvieron Guardado por mucho tiempo, desconozco el porque, pero bueno ahí lo tenes en pista, otra obra del mismísimo Dios de la aerodinamia
I’ve always thought that if Aston Martin had the amount of money some companies had, they’d truly be going bar for bar with the anyone they could in racing
@@loganamurray64 They could have had the money, seeing as the were owned by Ford, but Ford went full behind Jaguar, probably because Jaguar actually won Le Mans in '88, and the played it safe.
The greatest thing I’ve worked on. Being part of that tiny team at RBAT was something I’ll never forget. So glad it’s out there and moving! ❤
I remember when Jeremy Clarkson did his emotional piece on the Aston Martin V10 vantage back in the early 2000s, marking what he considered a farewell to the HyperCars and supercars that would be impossible due to new environmental regulations, and the 08 recession which seemed to drive such eccentric luxury performance vehicles to something we’d talk about in automotive history, but never get to live through again.
The Valkyrie, however, and many other cars that have come out recently, have demonstrated that the engineers at Toyota, Mercedes, Porsche, and etc. still have on last dying gasp left before we are all forced to drive self-driving EVs.
As an aircraft mechanic with a slight touch of OCD for attention to detail( lol), you nailed this presentation. So few have, the capability to encapsulate the experience in present it in such a clean presentation. I would love nothing more then to have these wonderful machines in my life for both hobby and work. In the meantime, I’ll live vicariously through these top notch videos.
I wish you nothing but the best in your pursuits to living your editorial dream, while simultaneously bringing those of us with an appreciation for these magnificent machines, closer together.
Amazing film Henry. The film itself was a visceral experience, so congrats to you and the team for conveying the experience so well, felt like as a viewer, we were right there with you. Brilliant stuff 👌. Looks and sounds like an awesome machine, Aston Martin on top of their game.
I love how in some of the more complex corners of the circuit, its either driving, or talking.
The sheer amount of focus and commitment required to really do this car justice and go full send around the track does not permit multitasking.
I do not really comment on videos, but this time I gotta say that the quality of this video is just outstanding. Beautiful demonstration of the caar's performance!
Chills literal chills! Video in the week Aston got podium daam
Hair on my arms instantly standing up with the sound of this car! Amazing form of engineering from Aston Martin!
Diseñado por Adrián Newey XDDDDDDDD
Woow. Spunds like F1 in the good old days 🤤
wow what a future classic. The V12 sounds monstrous and the color scheme is insane. Definitely the best “hyper car” of the bunch can’t wait to see how other manufacturers will respond
What an experience just watching this....can't imagine how it felt actually driving !!!
Massive achievement in engineering and Henry taking it to the limit and keeping it and himself in one piece! Up there with Tiff and the McLaren F1 around Goodwood!
Before maybe 10 and 5 years ago I would watch almost every clip of new super/hyper cars of every presenter there is and almost I could place myself into cars dreaming of being behaind the steering wheel actually feeling sensation if video and presenter itself was good... since than I kinda outgrow it till this moment!
THANK YOU HENRY... with every lap you could feel he is begining to feel more comf. And pushing it, enjoying it more and more. What a job, 23 min isnt enough!
I would dare to say... better than C. Harris and that is statement by itself!
What a pleasure to watch this. What a pleasure to hear this. What a pairing. Automotive journalism at its finest. Technical masterpiece in audiovisual presentation.
It’s wild how different it sounds inside vs out. I was thinking how bland it sounded from the cockpit view, then it pans to a drive by shot and the sound was pure V12 bliss.
Mainly induction noise inside and exhaust outside. Fantastic
I think they may have dubbed in the race car sound with the outside shots.
I've watched Henry's videos for years. With this video I have reach the conclusion that you are at the apex of auto journalism. Great job and congrats on doing something I only dream of
Henry : do not go gentle into that good night
Matthew : alright alright alright
Insane car, and an INSANELY well made film! Constantly gave me giggles of amazement and goosebumps of disbelieve of the speed and sound!
Love all the engineering work that went into this. And wonderfully captured and explained by Henry, as per usual.
What an incredible machine, I’m sure history will look back and see just what an evolutionary leap forwards the Valkyrie is. Thank you Henry, an absolute pleasure to watch.
That V12 Cosworth though, bonkers
It genuinely sounded like a gun went off everytime Nico upshifted. What a sound.
They won't be able to rebuild the crashed ones fast enough.
The vibe of your videos, the storytelling, and this atmosphere! Thank you for making these amazing videos and about this amazing road legal spaceship! An Aston which will be on many kids poster or background for sure! For us, maybe once I will be able to see in an exchibition, but still, it exists! Amazing achievement.
What a video.... That last straight w/ the exterior exhaust noise. I'm just sitting at my office computer smiling ear to ear.
Major Thanks for this Masterpiece of a CAR, ENGINEERING AND VIDEO
1270 Kg??? That's quite a lot more than they aimed for
Maybe it's the weight of all the active aero to keep the downforce low to not explode the road tires?
I think amr pro is less than 1000 kg
Masterful launch timing after Sundays result.
Your talk, that writing... Amazing video and production! The car... something we can only dream of and... can replay this for as many times we find possible! Love the ideia of the car and LOVE the way you put that into those words!! Amazing video and coverage to this car!
This video has blown all the other reviews on the Valkyrie out of the water. As has this car.
this and Huayra R is such a godsend machine. last of its kind
Brilliant video. Well done! Any chance of a video of the engine audio only from the camera on the back left looking forward? That was sensational!
I kept expecting to see a top gear logo somewhere with this level of production quality, this was amazing to watch.
Awesome review, Henry. That slow mo shot of the Val rolling with the green and yellow is just *CHEF's KISS*
was waiting for this...Henry does not disappoint ...to convey the emotion of such a creation.
I just saw the video from Top Gear over the same car and this feels so astonishingly superior 😂😂 you can hear the passion in every word and that's what we all love about the content from Hagerty. Keep up the good work 👌🏻 another video, another like
Top Gear felt very rushed. And Chris Harris seemed not that enthusiastic overall. Henry seems much more in awe of this car as an engineering achievement overall. It just feels like more time and care was put into this video vs the Top Gear one. Maybe TG had very short time to film it probably.
Yes! Super, wonderful, terrific episode! What a car! Thank you, Mr. Catchpole, for bringing this to us! I cannot wait to see it blasting across the Welsh landscape!
So good to have you back Mr Catchpole. Great piece as always!
Does anyone know what action cameras they are using for the 'lookin outside' and the shots outside and under the car? These are insane!!
The amount of crazy engineering in this proves that it's the Veyron of this day and age. Amazing car.
What a video! Nice to be taken on the ride of you slowly upping your pace with this car. Very immersive. Thanks for producing this kind of content.
Beautiful film. Catchpole at his most engaging. A true enthusiast talking with genuine interest in the engineering and talent that has been poured into this incredible machine. This was an absolute gem of a short film to watch. There really is only one true driver making films (with an extremely talented team) of this quality and depth left on UA-cam. This could have been a documentary in its own right. Take a bow Catchpole, peerless journalism.
Aston Martin is on its peak. Podium on F1 this weekend and this astonishing machinery.
So jealous of Henry! Congrats on getting to drive a car that very few people will ever get to see!
Wow. Incredible work, from the cinematography to the interview. Great job. If anything, I'd love to heam more from the lead engineer(s). They have the best stories and amazing insight
Great production as always. Thanks for the 4k ultrawide video content too!
if this weighs 1270kg, it is even more insane that Gordon Murray manages sub 1000kg for the T50, that basically has the same engine.
The Valkyrie AMR PRO is about 1000kg, has the same engine, and is much faster than the regular valkyrie or the t.50 i believe.
@@KGil60 I'm praying we get a comparison between the Lauda T50S and the AMR Pro in the future.
@@KGil60 Arguably true, but Gordon Murray doesn’t design by committee. All the cars are great!
Trouble with the T50 is it looks like an F1 you get from Wish.
Not same, T50 has smaller, less powerful V12.
Is that rear view mirror (screen) glitching?
Brilliant video. I've just seen that shambles of a Motor Trend video and this is a proper video that this car truly deserves. Well done Hagerty and well done Henry. What a car.
Henry, you knocked it out of the park again. Great video. I'm not going to bother watching any of the other videos on this. Thank you.
It's absolutely amazing to see the sheer amount of trial and error went into creating Valkyire. It really is an F1 car for the road.
Amazing car, and good looking too, and wonderful video. Sadly the question "Will I be capable of driving it?" that Henry had at the beginning is largely irrelevant, as the road going versions of these will never see any miles. I did find it amusing that if you get injured in a head-on crash then the first aid kit that might be helpful is in the part of the car that's now crushed!
Incredible. Well done Henry, superb insight. What a machine!
Thank you so much for making such a wonderful video, it truly gives us a taste of these amazing cars and we cant thank you enough
Aston has truly been an awesome comeback story from being part of ford, and then ford subsequently using their grill design in fusions, focus’s, and fiestas, to them finally getting seed money to get back on their own and really building some awesome designs
It's a road car like a CLK GTR or 911 GT1 are road cars lol. Hey look at your luggage space, you can fit at least two toothbrushes in the front. Front clearance? Just hope nobody spat their chewing gum onto the road at the end of your driveway, because you won't get over it. We all know they're going to sit in a private collection and with the greatest luck perhaps be trailered to a show and a circuit demo every five years.
the new holy trinity :
Valkyrie
T50
Amg One
Stunning video Henry. You conveyed the visceral experience masterfully. Thank you.
'Put the price of Ti up globally'
Damn that was a great film but I flat don't believe that bit 😂
That rear view mirror needs an update
I was thinking the g force was killing it maybe?
What a fantastic edit, this is by far the best feature length production of the new AMV . 👏
Amazing review Henry.... absolute pleasure to watch. 🙌🤙
It's about time they make it the F1 safety car.
That is an excellent idea
Wonderful job Henry and Hagerty team. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts when driving that other 11,000 RPM Cosworth V12-engined car coming out soon (how is THAT even a sentence?).....the T50.
Will it be the "better" car since it's purely a road car, while this is basically a trackday special barely homologated? Hmm...
Another great video. Henry really is one of the best in the business.
This is a magnificent engineering work of art equally presented by you. Thank you.
An absolutely fantastic review of this amazing machine. A great piece of journalism. I played this video twice and on the second time closed my eyes and just drank in the sound of that superb engine reaching its climax!
Stunning car, video and experience as always Henry. This car sets a new benchmark as do you with the quality of your work. Emotional watching this.
Great job Henry…impeccable story telling as always!
Henry, I officially couldn't be any more jealous. What an experience this must have been! Thanks for bringing us on the ride.
Best review by a long shot of the Valkyrie. Thank you Henry.
That is a thing of beauty. The aerial shot shows off beautifully its teardrop design, the details, exquisite. I can feel entirely the reference to the XJR15. Totally impractical for the road, however, but that never stopped great car-makers doing great things like this before.
As far as landmark cars go; the Rimac Nevera after Veyron: You do not consider this to be a landmark car? this wasn't a leap?...
Petroleum cars is what matters
Stunning - the car, the quality of journalism, the quality of cinematography, and the sound quality.
Thank you to all involved
What a fantastic video, the niko drive is just bonkers.. and then when Henry gets them sticky tyres... holy smokes...
excellent!! Well done!!
