The Aston Martin Valkyrie has been a long time coming but by the middle of this year, the British automaker expects to begin the first customer deliveries.

In a recent video sent out to reservation holders of the Valkyrie hypercar and which Aston Martin shared with us, the company’s new chief executive, former AMG boss Tobias Moers, apologized for the vehicle’s delayed launch while also talking up its virtues.

“I apologize that it’s taking a little longer than we promised you,” Moers says. “But now we’re on the run with Valkyrie. There’s still a path to go. There’s still a lot of things to go, but I’m confident that we’ll have the car available to you as our customers by mid ’21. It’s a great experience to drive that car and by mid ’21 you’ll be able to do similar.”

Aston Martin filmed the video at the Silverstone circuit in the UK and Moers is left very impressed with what he finds. Moers is the only person to have driven prototypes of both the Mercedes-AMG One and Aston Martin Valkyrie and according to him, the British hypercar is more sophisticated than any other vehicle he’s driven.

“There’s nothing similar to any other road car I know, even any other hypercar I know,” says Moers. “It’s more sophisticated than anything I’ve seen in my past, in my recent career, over my whole life. It’s a very special car.”

The clip is also interesting as it showcases some of the vehicle’s advanced active aerodynamic systems for the first time. This includes the active rear wing that can double as an airbrake and carbon fiber fins in front of the rear wheels that can also be adjusted to alter downforce levels. Moers adds that the faster you drive, the better the car feels.

Powering the Valkyrie is a naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 from Cosworth with 1,000 hp and 545 lb-ft (740 Nm) paired to an electric motor delivering an additional 160 hp and 206 lb-ft (280 Nm) for a claimed combined system output 1,160 hp at 10,500 rpm and 663 lb-ft  (899 Nm) at 6,000 rpm. Making the car all the more remarkable is the fact that it could produce upwards of 1,814 kg (4,000 lbs) of downforce.
