As part of that, a concept car was showcased in the 2018 Geneva show, which Aston described as an optimized track version of the road car. Since it does not need to meet motorsport regulations, Aston Martin was able to go further in several areas. The firm claims that the capabilities of the new machine 'far exceed' the original concept.

Without needing to meet any racing regulations, Aston Martin designed the Valkyrie AMR Pro with a huge wheelbase of 380mm, and the chassis track by 96mm at the front and 115mm at the back. It also gets a dramatic aerodynamic package that adds 260mm to the overall length of the car. With that, it could give the car more than twice the downforce of the road car. The Valkyrie AMR Pro retains the road car's 6.5-litre Cosworth V12 engine but doesn’t have the hybrid system as part of saving the weight.
The engine has been tuned further to rev to 11,000rpm. The hypercar has also undergone a major weight reduction program where it removed the. the hybrid system, and gets a carbon-fiber bodywork, carbon suspension wishbones, and a perspex windscreen and side windows.
