[Saba Sports News] Yesterday, Aston Martin Aramco F1 team driver Fernando Alonso received his custom Aston Martin Valkyrie supercar at the Monaco Monte Carlo Bay Hotel. The car is equipped with a hybrid 6.5-liter V12 engine, combining F1-inspired aerodynamics and performance, with a maximum output of 1155 horsepower and a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of less than 2.5 seconds. The media has called it “a true F1 car for the road.” The Valkyrie’s design was inspired by the Saudi Aramco F1 team’s AMR24 car, with a matte Aston Martin Racing Green body, complemented by a matte acid lime green pattern to emphasize the supercar’s aerodynamics. The roof, engine cover, and lower aerodynamic components are all made of exposed carbon fiber, while the titanium Aston Martin badge is embedded on the front, with a custom “CAUTION HOT” graphic on the rear. Inside, exposed carbon fiber is extensively used, and the black Alcantara material contrasts beautifully with the AMR acid lime green stitching. The custom Valkyrie also features a red throttle pedal engraved with the number “14,” which is Alonso’s F1 driver number. On July 14, 1996, at the age of 14, Alonso became the world karting champion, and he has chosen number 14 ever since.
