It seems like Adrian Newey has been keeping busy with several projects at Aston Martin and not just the AMR26 F1 car. A video circulating on social media suggests that Newey might have just created a single-seater Aston Martin hypercar derived from the Valkyrie AMR Pro.
This wild prototype was recently spotted testing at an airfield. The car looks like a cross between a Formula 1 car and a Valkyrie AMR Pro. In fact, the design is more akin to an Indycar.
It has a sharp nose section with F1-style suspension featuring exposed wishbones and inboard dampers. A single cockpit with the halo roll-over protection device and the engine intake positioned just above the driver’s head.
The prototype single-seater hypercar has a shrink-wrapped engine cover with a shark fin that extends to the massive rear spoiler. There are F1-esque bargeboards and floor. However, unlike a modern F1 car, it seems to be powered by a naturally aspirated V12 engine.
