IndiaAIFounders — Got around P110.5-M? You might still have a chance to own an Aston Martin Valhalla Spider

This is a new convertible Aston Martin. It’s a big, pointy, mostly shouty super-mega-hyperthing affordable only to the most well-heeled clientele.

Say hello to the delightful new Aston Martin Valhalla Spider. And in news that is both genuinely surprising and will warm the cockles of any interested Spider-less, well-heeled clients, there are still some cars left available for purchase.

Which makes it only mostly sold out, with Aston Martin telling us that it expects one in four Valhallas sold to be of the Spider variety, and that the majority of examples have been allocated.

For those that remain unallocated, it’s a bit of a cracking package, at least if the coupe is anything to go by. At heart, it’s the same carbon-tubbed core as the coupe—modified here because of the whole ‘no roof’ thing—with the same 1,064hp/1,098Nm hybrid V8 powertrain, too.

So that’s a 4.0-liter twin-turbo pushing out 207hp per liter, and a teeny 6.1kWh ‘high-performance battery’ powering a triplet of electric motors. There are two on the front axle controlled entirely by computers, while the third e-motor sits inside the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

Its maker reckons on 0-100kph in just 2.5sec and a top speed of 350kph, apparently achievable with the roof down, making this the fastest convertible Aston Martin ever built.

Oh, right—the roof. There’s a removable (and stowable) fabric roof as standard, but here’s where it gets a little strange. With the fabric roof up, you can only hit 200kph—you have to buy an optional carbon-fiber hard top to go 350kph with the roof in place. Guess the theory is ‘just get the coupe if you want a hard top,’ then.

There’s a wind deflector on board to better manage the air that’s being bullied into submission around the car’s windshield, a snorkel, tweaked active aero to account for there being no roof, and a new calibration for the ESP. The Spider also comes as standard with the carmaker’s new ‘Touring Seat’ (read: they’re squishier), though you can spec the coupe’s carbon chairs at no extra cost if you hate being comfortable.

Otherwise, it’s pretty much as per the coupe. Same drive modes, vehicle control system, doors, F1-inspired bits, and of course, noise. Not exactly the most sonorous noise emitted by an Aston Martin (we did say ‘mostly’ shouty up top), but in the coupe, at least we found that soundtrack to offer ‘texture’ and ‘real intrigue.’

So, if you want more of that intriguing texture, you’ll have to fork out approximately £1.3 million (around P110.5 million before taxes), which is where we reckon Aston Martin will pitch the Valhalla Spider’s base price.

“High speed or low speed. Rain or shine. Roof on or roof off. Road or track. Valhalla Spider ticks every box,” said company boss Adrian Hallmark.
