It takes someone really talented to create such an underwhelming video from such an exiting subject.
Atleast they arent blasting music the whole time..
😄😄😄... Well said
agree
I guess its like giving a Michelin starred chef a regular ass meal and asking them to rate it; but also the chef is employed by the person who created the regular ass meal
@Marnix ikr, finally a car video focusing on the car itself and the sound and driving performance. Not someone constantly talking with an annoying song drowning out the engine.
Max: I mean..it’s a work in progress...
Sums up the experience.
It is definitely and working together with AM is horrible - trust me, never seen such a chaotic troop. The whole project is delayed about 1 year bc AM has no money.
@@ziegaful They may have been a bit too ambitious.
@@ziegaful better than Merc 🤷🏻♂️
@@ziegaful whom designed and are developing the car is basically RedBull. Aston guys are just sneaking around to learn something to tell the cameras when they appear.
@@E9X330surely you're joking
Answers are very diplomatic. Keep your sponsors happy
They dont want to become the next alonso. He cant work with honda at all anymore because of GP2
Thomas To be fair, they did supply shit engines both in power and reliability.
@Armando Sturzenegger That's factualy not true
Armando Sturzenegger It surprises me that arguably the most successful constructor in F1 history who have worked with multiple engine manufacturers could suddenly fail to supply the necessary information to combine engine and chassis successfully, over several seasons. Honda were in major denial and I suspect the new contract with Red Bull involved punitive clauses if the engine was not up to scratch and a few personnel at Honda got their marching orders.
Shit, for a 8 million dollar contract I’d fucking say that a 1990 Toyota Corolla was the fastest fucking car on the market, and that it fixed my marriage, took off some pounds, and regrew my hair...
Is it just me or is this this a poorly put together video . Boring for such an interesting car .... and how slow is the shift ??
Gearbox still under development... that's why.
Gearbox is special dual clutch made by Ricardo (one of the best in the business). The gearbox also contains the additional electric motor which needs to be properly calibrated to work with the gearbox and the engine's 11,000 rpm. All this together means they likely severely limited the shift durations so the whole system didn't eat itself to pieces.
It does seem like they are really struggling to dial in that transmission... Gear changes are too slow for a car of this type, also the noticeable jolt with every shift could upset the balance of the car and dunno how that would effect reliability
@@rdarville70 Some say dual others say single. It sounds to me like a straight cut but who knows.
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks they announced it as single clutch before
I feel like the drivers weren't really impressed ..they just try to say something nice for the camera...also, I think the fact it's a single clutch makes it slower
I got the same impression, but to them it probably feels like an outdated and poorly set up F1 car ... and if they worked with that team to refine the setup .. the average driver ironically would probably hate it, LOL.
@@KrustyKlown the only good thing they said was the looks...but besides that they both look bored & underwhelmed
maybe just channeling some kimi raikkonen
@@krusher74 what does that mean?
@@kengrand5445 its a joke, google some kimi interviews
Just a ridiculous machine. Hope some of the final cars end up getting driven and not just sitting in collections.
They will race in Le Mans Hypercar category.
@@nik021298 Sadly, maybe they're not. :(
racer.com/2020/02/18/aston-martin-set-to-cancel-hypercar-program/
@@Predator-in4vb That was the main purpose of developing this car, so I'm sure they will race Lemans even with the change of owner
@@lar2028 No. The whole purpose was for Newey to show what he could do without F1 rules holding him back. And they're faster than the LMH rules would allow anyway. What's the point in racing a slower road car than the race car.
They'll end up driven . . . stuck in traffic in downtown New York and London. That's where they should be testing them -- see whether they overheat or their auto-clutches burn up in stop and go traffic.
Max- “it’s a work in progress”, Translation- Meh
😆
@@spacewombat4569
You have no idea what you are talking about. That car is nothing like an F1 and bloody driver know that is the case hence why he said it would be mind blowing as a road car.
An open wheel car is not like a hardtop car and an F1 driver can be impressed by a road car as well because it is a different experience.
It is like saying a motorcycle racer would not be impressed by an F1 car due to it being a different experience.
@@bighands69 that's not at all what he said...
they seem less than excited??.. unfortunately to them, it probably feels like a crappy F1 car, instead of an Outrages Road car ... a perspective issue.
It's interesting though, because it's a road car they can actually exceed certain F1 specs that limit F1 cars. I think this thing will be really interesting when finished. A real racer instead of a drag race or straight line speed car.
No comment about how it compares to their F1's? That's what I'm most curious about!
@@claysmell what I can't understand, is that this engine sounds like a V6 ? or V8? .. in one shot there, I thought I saw a 7,500 rpm redline shown? .. but the Cosworth V12 was supposed to redline at 11,100rpm ... a V12 at 11K rpm, shouldn't sound like this ??
@@KrustyKlown It's still in prototype stage. Aston Martin must have electronically limited the RPM, top speed, etc. To hide its true potential, or for testing. This is not new, and not surprising as well. It's a common practice in the automotive industry. Even the prototype Porsche 918 back in 2012 I remember is also electronically limited in speed, rpm, etc. Same as the prototype McLaren P1.
@@KrustyKlown yeah I agree, something fishy here. and in the beginning I swear the tech guy tells Max it's a "hybrid". uhm, no!
Turn on the captions... it is poetic that the captions think the acceleration is “Music” and off the gas in to corners “Applause”......
0:10 wtf was that?
Josh Rinlee terrible editing 😂 I think Max started talking, but they muted the audio so it just made it look like they had prolonged, intimate eye contact where the rest of the world melted away
@@nivedlaxsea8114 lol, exactly. This shows you how important editing is in making a video. So bizarre, lol.
Broooooomance!
it looked like one of those edits were they make the whole scene uncomfortably quiet! XD
@@nivedlaxsea8114 Maybe he's saying trade secrets.
That shifter does look a bit "agricultural" at the moment, but this thing should be properly bloody quick when finished. I wonder if Aston/Red Bull will be giving new owners some tuition, as frankly most owners will run out of talent very quickly in a car like this.
Hopefully it's a simple case of the shift mapping being set up conservatively whilst they set other aspects of the car up properly.
I'd run out of talent in a DBX
LOL at owners having a new experience every day. 99% of these cars are going to sit in a collection and never see a road once delivered.
The average sports car owner will own multiple cars from every single brand. It is hard to drive your cars very often when you own 20 of them and take a helicopter to work. There is no upper middle class that can afford to just buy one of these cars anymore it’s only people with hundreds of millions to spend that buy more than they can drive. These cars not being driven is the result of a shrinking middle class that could buy one of these cars and actually have time to drive it. You can’t blame someone who owns fifty super cars and gets around by helicopter and jet for not having time to drive every single car very often. Gone are the days of the successful college grad lawyer/doctor that worked extremely hard and is able to afford a Ferrari that they drive on weekends. Much like how kings owned more chateaus than they could spend time in wealth has gotten so out of control that these guys can’t even enjoy the vast amount of things they own.
@@domnoya4130 That reminds me of an article about Bugatti owners. The average Veyron owner had something like 40+ cars, two private jets, two yachts and helicopters.
@@domnoya4130 Well if Aston Martin and McLaren open a dealership in North of Mexico I beth you will see tons of this super fancy cars street illegal races an on the roads Mexican Narcos bring Lamborghini and Porsche fo México the bought near to 60% of the cars and always end up given away free to normal people in El Dorado Mazatalan Sinaloa theres a Yatch club meeting point for the Drug Lords were they end up giving this super cars as tips to the local workers also when Marines and Army confiscate this cars end up in the enervant Museum in Mexico city were they are sold by 1/4 of the real cost plus the Armour vehicles has increased and acelerated descalation of the luxury market so solutiin is right there but nobody want to stain their hands
Some people do drive their cars on tracks and on the road and some leave them in a garage.
I know two people who have ordered and will 100% be driving them on roads.
This car is now my ultimate dream car.
The sound this thing makes is just so sweet!
Thank you for this footage
Can't wait to hear this thing near redline
love how everyone disregard the fact that this is just a prototype. the man also said that this is a raw prototype. you don't want push a work in progress shit, this is just a mere memo for the next improvements they will make
The sound is absolutely amazing, just like an F-1!
is not even revving to 8k, that thing is a monster
and its supposed to rev to 11,000 rpm. Right?
@@kylem2010GT yea
@@kylem2010GT in race trim, yes. It remains to be seen what the road car will rev to. My guess is that they lower the redline to extend engine longevity.
None of the amg one turds will respect it
@@flyingphoenix113 the road car will rev to 11.100rpm. Cosworth said it and it's written every where.
Feels like 100 years from hearing about this car until it 's finally out on the roads and we get a proper review of it. Maybe 3020 if we are lucky?
Car shifts like a golf 2
It's probably the part the brits are responsible to develop
@@MrArt69 hmm you maybe right. Buy DSG from Volkswagen mr Stroll
@@stunt180tk funny I actually own a dsg car. And I was just trying to trigger some brits just for the fun :p
very slow shifts
the gearbox alone probably cost more than a golf 2 tho.
You can tell they definitely aren’t pushing it to redline I can’t wait to hear an outside view of this close to the limiter!
Beautiful machine with an amazing sounding engine.
Just seeing those 3 together makes me wish for a one make series of these things , how awesome would that be?
It is great to hear a NA V12 in 2020!
I would have loved to see this do a timed lap on the top gear track!!! See how it compares with other super cars
Even a Valkyrie to them is like what driving a Civic is to us.
man that is a completely new type of noise....it even sounds futuristic....can't wait to see them at Goodwood
Transmission seems to have a glitch but a work in progress . Beautiful car
That Cosworth sounds phenomenal!
so many know nothings calling out the gearbox as if they have any understanding about this newey designed, ricardo engineered sequential gearbox.
My thoughts exactly, like they are engineers and know something Mercedes don't.. Lol
It may be new and from a fantastic brand etc but the video is a very poor representation of it. It looks horrible here. You'd think they'd have it sorted by now.
Ricardo have a long history of making motorsport gearboxes (not to mention other systems). They know what they're doing.
@@DapperHesher if they're keeping thay horrible laggy shift, they be better off putting manual box in there and be a legend. Hopefully the final version would be better shifted than this one.
@@ardijanuar2036 It almost certainly won't. It may still be a harder shift like a proper race car, but it will not be laggy. This is really early in the development process. Software, in particular, takes time to dial in. Y'all fuckin' automotive engineers on here or something. Settle down with the critiques. *rolls_eyes
Nice barrel of Esso with Mobil 1 oil bottle on top of it while being interviewed, oh and the car, that's a stunner.
The video that RBR put up just made me want to rip my hair out, some fine gentleman linked me to this video. I LOVE THIS CAR. This is on Project Cars 2, right?
Offcourse not... Pc2 was released years ago and they work actually on Pc3.....
You may be thinking of the Red Bull X series on Gran Turismo - both the Valkyrie and the X's were designed by Adrian Newey!!!
You could try Assetto Corsa, someone may have a mod for this car, that’s how people drive the 2021 f1 cars
GTA ONLINE as the Dewbaucheee Vagner
ironspyder 1734 just won it off the podium 👍🏻
Max doesn’t look underwhelmed one bit
he's just whelmed
He races in f1 for a living for crying out loud!
That transmission is either getting ready to have itself for lunch or they haven't calibrated the shifts at all.
It’s still a prototype and engine rpm and gear change is slowed down. Aston Martin and RBR know how to make a gearbox.
Gearbox is a joke
@@greggb557 no it's not
@@greggb557 it's a yoke
@@sajeevanmarikkal7892 if you hadn't said it I would have ;)
I'm watching this and feel short of breath... I'm getting that claustrophobic feeling watching him in the cockpit barely about to move
Alex’s answer ‘Looks really cool’
The question probably was ‘What’s the best thing about this car?’
My first impression watching it is that the gearbox seems horrific! There seems to be a massive lag releasing the clutch on up changes!
i honestlly think this is a very good video, amazing car, amazing video.
Just wow! Already a legend in the making. Anything involving Newey will be a success.
"Work in progress"...mkay, you could tell Max was not impressed
The hills are alive with the sound of 3:49
I put on this video when I can't sleep. Works every time.
That is the phattest diffuser I've ever seen.
have to correct the steering, every time he shifts up. and or down..
whats that all about?
They're using a single clutch for some reason, so I would assume the sudden jerkiness from such a long-ass shift might be causing a bit of loos in control?
RBR's design philosophy all over it.
See the drivers heads move on each shift and max even had to correct it on each shift
the upshifts sound really slow for a car such as this. Is it single or double cluch?
That need to make a racing series for this cqr
Wasn't Chris Goodwin part of the McLaren P1 program?
JTthestreetking test driver!
Yes, I think the last car he signed off on was the one after 720 or 6xx (I have no clue with their silly system).
Now he has been doing the Valkyrie.
Exactly what I thought. I remember his piece with Chris Harris
He ‘definitely was’ as I regularly saw him in MTC 👍
Why it takes so long to shift, you can see the driver fallforward while shifting.
Stunning vehicle all around and sounds fantastic but I wish it was a tick louder just seemed quiter then I expected from a 1000 plus hp naturally aspirated v12..sound itself is very nice tho.I just wanna hear more of it
The gear shifts don’t seem very quick. There’s a noticeable delay. Is that on purpose? Like a safe mode?
Looks like a punch in the neck when shifting gears
Those were some slooooowwww shifts lol. I hope when they finalize it the shifts will be up to par with other track cars
is the 2nd driver Alex Albon from Thailand? noticed the flag on his trousers when he got into the car and also the same color design on his helmet.
The gearbox sounds like it needs a lot more tuning. The downshifts sound crisp, but the upshifts sound really crunchy.
This transmission shifts slower than my grandma shifts a 1986 fiat panda.
@@saosao6387 how exactly is he a “killer”
Don't wonder about the transmission, it will shift faster once the development is finished on this car, even with a single clutch gearbox.
Its a specially made duel clutch with electronic assist. So far not dialed in
the speedo and rev counter on the steering wheel would have worked better if they could somehow have made the digital dial keep still and not move with the steering wheel , If RR can do that with their RR badge on road wheels then should be possible with a digital display. will the finished project be different ?
Sounds and looks great 🇬🇧
I want to see one with Racing green color
It will likely be at Le Mans in 2021 with an AMR livery/branding. So, just be patient. 😉
@@CBadger They pulled the valkyrie out of Le Mans
@@austinobambino1360 Ah. For 2020/2021 season at least. Might still come in 2021/2022.
They wont come.
Not since they cam build a LMDH car instead of a shitty Hypergaysportcar
@@CBadger Aston is done with le man's now (GTE aside). They as much confirmed this last night. It's all about F1 from 2021
Those kinda slow and brutal shifts seems to really upset the car's balance in the corners... you could see the drivers tought the same by the look on theyre face when it happens...
The revs were limited to 8K , but the engine revs to 11K, wich wil be the cause of the shifting issue, not shifting at max throttle or RPM, and thats allright on the track, but this is meant to be a roadcar also, and be bought by miserable drivers, so i hope they sort out the shifting at low speeds/revs...
I am not a race driver or very intelligent but i dont think you should be shifting in corners.
Well said. Its stupid to use dated transmissions in these vehicles!
@@keithjackson4985 theyre not dated, they are actually really good , fast, light and small, but they need to be set up very well and have a well mated engine...
Not IN the corners no, but just
Before the corner you downshift to set up the car ...
And there's where the car starts to unsettle when downshifting.. thats where you see that they have to counter steer before the turn
@@tiptopmartinez You should absolutely be shifting in corners, just look at pro racing.
Gear shifts sound like it's holding the whole package back
Is that an intern editor ? Looks like a windows movie maker editing
Man this thing must be super lightweight. There's literally nothing in the front.. lol.
It's a mid-engined car, of course there's nothing ahead...
Typical aston martin with slow af transmission
This is a race single clutch from ricardo. I am guessing they used it over a dual clutch to save weight
@@justina9914 The Nissan GT-R proves that weight can be managed... so they should put the best transmission there is in the car, period.
@@Scorpio1075 Nope, thats not how i work. Let the guys that know Build the car and you can speculate on internet.
@@Scorpio1075 the gtr has a really slow 6 speed dual clutch Transmission that is much slower than the 50ms or less shifts Weare seeing now
@@Scorpio1075 formula 1 cars dont use dual clutch
Sounds incredible
What is going on with the gear change? Seems like it just hangs for so long when shifting up.
They all know ONE is on the way too.
Shifting is weird. You see them pressing the pedal, then it looks like its mach revs, nothing, and then kicks in acceleration. You see it on their bodies that it is violent and it takes time. Maybe to save engine? Or maybe hybrid part is still not calibrated?
cheap car just work like that
You can hear and see that they're not applying the throttle fully. Also, that "violent shaking" is a combination of engine braking + sudden up shifts which unsettles the car. It happens in shittier cars than the Valkyrie. My friends Holden Commodore has an 'active select', and it does the same thing (but not as much). Alex and Max are probably not ringing the neck out of the car because they're following the engineer's instructions.
Still not calibrated at all.
@@gustavoflorio5383 I suspect everytime you recalibrate the engine map you have to recalibrate the shift logic.
0:10 Max and Alex looking at each other like "we could drive these cars, or we could Netflix&chill...?'
No he is looking at him because he is excited to get in the car. You can clearly see it on their faces.
Closed caption just keeps displaying [music] for the engine sounds. Yeah, it is.
SMG 1 inspired shifts 🤣
0:38 the reflection, is that toto?
It's the same dude you see at 0:34
Is this there prototype for LMPh category?
It´s a work in progress. Adrian Newey what do you mean?
Sounds like an odd double-shift
Yeahh the transmission sounded strange in general.
Max and Alex should do the 24h Lemans in this car
"Drive with caution" 😂😂
That is the most quiet V12 i've ever heard. You can hear the intake and the other parts of the engine, more than the exhaust itself.
You would probably have to hear it in person to know for sure
Feels like Max wanted to say "yeaaa, it's good, but I'd pick a La Ferrari over this 10 out of 10 times".
Isn't the Valkyrie double what the LF is?
@@realMaverickBuckley That thing will smash a laferrari in every possible way.... except maybe looks.... :p
@@kenvanpassen9247 it makes the ferrari look tame and ordinary. Thats ignoring the sound that thing makes which frankly hasnt been heard since the V12 f1 era, and sounds awesome. Question i have is though, wtf would a redbull driver want a ferrari??
Lot of comments deleted. Hmmmm...
typical brit. They're a bunch of clowns.
This could be the one who fights with Ferrari for the best V12 sound.
Tis car is so amazing.
Wow everyone is so critical of this video! This is still under development and being tested people. And Alex/Max are professionals there to work and give technical feedback, not ogle. Man, unreasonably tough crowd man.
Wait, is that using a damn single clutch box?
Yes, to save weight
@@samuelmendezguevara5506 Jesus christ, what a shitbox. Thats the issue with modern supercars. Miserable single clutch gearbox to safe weight, but at the same time a fucking useless hybrid system.
@@C6SuperchargedZR1 uhhh, a single clutch can be as fast as the majority of double clutch units. And you should care about saving weight more than that.
@@C6SuperchargedZR1 the only fucking useless system about your comment is you.

Clearly not, the two f1 drivers seemed super bored... Their responses were just sponsor-friendly pandering
TheFolding Gamer yeah I’m sure they are super bored.. 🤔
Long live McLaren F1, the new king is coming soon!
different car, F1 was a proper, useable road car.
mercury6765 and why is the valkyrie not ‘a proper roadcar’ it is fully street legal
Only one passenger and no luggage.
@@Gavownian It's a two seater. And you put any items in empty space.
Finally, not one you found with stupid music covering the sound of engine.
Glorious.
Hahaha😂 There is a sticker on the dash asking Max to drive with caution. Good luck.👍🇬🇧
That thing is going to annihilate the current crop of supercars and hypercars on track. My guess is it'll be quicker than the Mercedes-AMG One and Lotus Evija too but by how much is what is going to be fascinating.
Doesn't look much like a road car. It's as if they have just made a race car road legal.
Brave cameraman for hanging in the spoiler
Whats with the gear changes !?
You all remember the Nissan Nismo LMP1. This will be the same, a year out of development and it will be obsolete. No point in racing a car that can't compete. Tax write off for Aston.
First: sadly, Aston won't compete anymore on WEC.
Second: the front engine, front wheel drive Nissan was a completely new concept and had a really problematic development.
Third: this is the road car. Tell me a road car that has more than 1hp/kg, active suspension, could do 0-200kph in around 5s, reach 400kph and have Group C levels of downforce.
Gear change seems slow?
Yup , guessing they haven't refined it yet
These exact Valkyries with the blue and red paint jobs need to be in the next Forza.
Stunning thing. But whats with the gearbox? Gearchanges seem to take like half a second? I guess it gets quicker but why testin an unfinnished prototype?
