Imagine owning a genuine Le Mans race car that you can actually drive. That’s exactly what Aston Martin offers with the Valkyrie LM – a track-only beast that’s essentially identical to their works racers, minus the regulatory red tape. This isn’t just another expensive toy for the ultra-wealthy; it’s your chance to experience what professional racing drivers feel behind the wheel of a championship-contending hypercar.
What Makes the Valkyrie LM Special?
Limited to just 10 examples worldwide, the Valkyrie LM shares almost everything with the Valkyrie being fielded at Le Mans. Think of it as the purest expression of Aston Martin’s racing DNA, delivered directly to your private garage.
The heart of this machine is Cosworth’s naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, producing 697 horsepower without any hybrid assistance. While that might sound modest compared to the road-going Valkyrie’s 1,139 total system output, remember this engine is specifically tuned for racing regulations and built for sustained track performance.
Engineering Excellence Without Compromise
Race series specific items such as ballast and FIA-regulation electronics will be removed, with a bespoke cockpit interface tailored for track day usage. This means you get all the performance benefits without the restrictions that race teams must follow. It’s faster, more responsive, and more accessible than the actual race car.
The suspension setup remains identical to the competition version – double-wishbone with pushrod torsion bar springs and adjustable dampers. The seven-speed sequential transmission with paddle shifters delivers power to the rear wheels, just like you’d find in the actual Le Mans entry.
The Ultimate Ownership Experience
More Than Just a Car Purchase
Buying a Valkyrie LM isn’t like purchasing a typical supercar. Aston Martin offers the full works treatment through their “Valkyrie Performance Club” – they’ll store your multi-million-dollar hypercar, transport it to world-class circuits, and surround you with the same engineers and support crew that service their factory race team.
Professional-Level Support
The experience includes simulator training, data analysis, onboard video review, and professional coaching. They even provide the complete safety kit: custom helmet, HANS device, racing suit, boots, gloves, and fireproof underwear. Just show up at the airport and prepare to live your racing driver fantasies.
Timeline and Availability
Deliveries are scheduled for Q2 2026, with the first exclusive handover event and track experience. The program includes two further fully supported track days at F1-standard race circuits in Q3 and Q4 2026.
The first year culminates in a special evening at Aston Martin’s Gaydon headquarters in December, complete with a Valkyrie LM customer dinner. All aspects include exclusive accommodation and chauffeur service – because when you’re spending $7 million, convenience matters.

Racing Heritage Meets Modern Performance
Aston Martin first entered Le Mans in 1928, five years after the event’s inception. Now after multiple class wins through the decades, and five since 2014, the Wings return to the top echelon of the sport. The Valkyrie LM represents this storied racing heritage in its purest form.
Perfect Timing
