The Aston Martin Valkyrie is one of the craziest street-legal cars ever developed and a particularly striking example recently made its public debut at an event in the UK.
This Valkyrie was recently showcased at the Caffeine and Machine show earlier this month and stands out from all other Valkyries we’ve seen in the past because its exterior is clad solely in naked gloss carbon fiber.
Like the other multi-million dollar supercars and hypercars that are available, Aston Martin offered Valkyrie owners heaps of scope to customize both the exterior and interior of the hypercar. We’ve seen that some owners opted for brightly-colored paint jobs but the owner of this one clearly wanted something a little less overt. The lack of paint on this Valkyrie also no doubt saves a little bit of weight.

The interior of this Valkyrie is also largely free of any over-the-top elements and is quite basic. Like all other examples, the cabin is dominated by carbon fiber but plush Alcantara is found on the seats and steering wheel. Interestingly, there is also a large emergency engine cut-off button on the dashboard as this is actually a Valkyrie prototype. It’s unclear if it is still owned by Aston Martin itself or if it was sold to a private customer.
Throughout this clip, we get to see the Valkyrie’s extraordinary 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12 being revved and while it is cruising around at low speeds, you’ll also hear the whine of the single-clutch sequential transmission with straight-cut gears.
