Aston Martin has just started customer deliveries of the mid-engined Valhalla, and it seems one owner is eager to make the most out of the current hype, listing it for auction, no doubt in an attempt to make a quick buck. As far as Aston Martins go, there’s no denying this one is particularly striking.

The original owner clearly wanted to make their Valhalla stand out, and with more than $360,000 in options, they’ve done just that. The most expensive option is the $108,000 Andromeda Red paint, which produces shifting tones of orange, purple, pink, and red depending on the viewing angle.
Alongside the bonkers paint are several gold-accented parts, including the front splitter, side skirts, and the wheels. While Aston Martin’s financials don’t look pretty, there’s no denying that it knows how to build a very pretty car.

The cabin is also very bold. It’s been clad in Deep Purple semi-aniline leather across the seats, door panels, dashboard, steering wheel, and headliner. The rest of the cockpit is clad in exposed carbon fiber and a gold-colored ring around the engine Start/Stop button. With all the options, this Valhalla had an MSRP of $1,479,700, no doubt making it one of the most expensive built so far.
Mecum Auctions
Aston Martin is building just 999 examples of the Valhalla. It could perhaps be best seen as a rival to the Lamborghini Revuelto and Ferrari 849 Testarossa, but the limited production run is more akin to something like a Ferrari F80 or McLaren W1.
Power comes from a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with 817 hp, coupled to three electric motors to produce a combined 1,064 hp and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm) of torque. It’s good for 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.5 seconds and can hit 217 mph (350 km/h).
Some collectors wait years before flipping a halo car. Others apparently wait until the delivery truck leaves the neighborhood. The listing over here has the full spec sheet if curiosity gets the better of you.
