2026 Aston Martin Valkyrie LM















2026 Aston Martin Valkyrie LM
By Team Dailyrevs June 9, 2025
The 2026 Aston Martin Valkyrie LM is a Le Mans Hypercar made for track-day millionaires—just 10 units will be built.
-
It runs the same 6.5L Cosworth V12 as the WEC car, minus ballast and FIA hardware.
-
Owners get an entire factory program: coaching, gear, and access to elite circuits.
Built for Ten, Based on One
Let’s get this straight: the 2026 Aston Martin Valkyrie LM isn’t a tribute car. It is the car—just not bound by FIA regulations. Same chassis, same engine, same gearbox. Aston is offering 10 of these to customers who want the full Le Mans experience… without needing to earn a racing license.
This isn’t a road car. It’s a stripped-down, track-only version of Aston’s WEC Hypercar, freed from ballast and hybrid complexity, and bolted to a telemetry-rich customer experience.
The Design: Aggression, with Function
Photos show exactly what you'd expect—a low, wide, arrow-shaped body with massive intakes and even bigger aero. It's not clean, and that’s the point.
There’s no room here for flowing lines or badge-led aesthetics. Everything you see is there to generate grip, manage temps, or slice through air at triple-digit speeds. The car rides on slick Pirelli race tires and weighs under 1030 kg. The stance? Brutal. The intent? Even more so.
Engine and Setup: V12 with No Apologies
Power comes from a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated Cosworth V12, shared with the Le Mans racer. Output is 697 bhp (520 kW)—not the wildest on paper, but remember: this thing isn’t packing electric motors or carrying extra weight for endurance rules.
The seven-speed sequential gearbox delivers lightning-quick shifts, while the chassis delivers 3.5 g lateral and 2.5 g under braking. That’s not a typo. That’s data.
Ownership = Full Factory Track Life
Buyers aren’t just getting a car. They’re buying into the Valkyrie LM experience—factory storage, transport to FIA-grade circuits, one-on-one coaching, custom-fitted seats and helmets, a fireproof race suit… the works. Aston calls it the “Valkyrie IM Performance Club,” but really, it's a concierge service for track domination.
The program launches in Q2 2026 with initial delivery and coaching, followed by events throughout the year at F1-level circuits around the world.
Who’s It Up Against?
Not much. Ferrari, Porsche, and Toyota aren’t doing customer-ready Le Mans Hypercars. Yes, Porsche sells track-only 963 variants. But those are LMDh, not LMH. And they’re heavier, hybrid-powered, and less directly tied to road cars.
The Valkyrie LM is different. It’s as close to a factory Le Mans car as you can get without a race team. And with just 10 made, it’s rarer than most race wins.
Final Thoughts
There’s no pricing in the press doc, but expect to fork out at least $5 million. Probably more. Doesn’t matter. If you’re reading this with intent to buy, you’re already in the loop.
This isn’t about bragging rights—it’s about having the track weapon to silence everyone else in the pit lane. And maybe, just maybe, getting a taste of Le Mans glory—without the politics or the pressure.
