Aston Martin is a British brand that's synonymous with opulence, but this automaker has never had a hypercar to call its own. That changes with the launch of the Valkyrie, an aerodynamic, performance-themed speed demon that holds the distinction of being Aston Martin's first entry in the hypercar war. Aston's vehicles are typically marked by their elegant, somewhat restrained design, but the Valkyrie blazes a fresh path with its over-the-top styling. This is the type of car that looks like it would be right at home on a future-world racetrack or in the next Transformers movie. The Valkyrie's hybrid powertrain produces a staggering 1160 horsepower. Pricing starts at $3 million, and production is extremely limited.
What's New for 2022?An entirely new vehicle, the Valkyrie joins the Aston Martin lineup for the 2022 model year. It takes its name from ancient Norse mythology, the valkyries being the spirits who decided the fates of men in battle. This hypercar is born from a partnership between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing.
The standard Valkyrie is street legal, but there's also an AMR Pro variant built solely for track use. Only 150 models of the standard Valkyrie will be offered. As for the Valkyrie AMR Pro, production is limited to 25 cars. Loaded with one-of-a-kind touches, the base car offers more than enough to keep a hypercar buyer satisfied. To improve aerodynamics, the Valkyrie ditches exterior mirrors in favor of rear-facing cameras mounted to the car's flanks. These cameras feed images to two cabin displays located on the car's A-pillars, allowing the driver to monitor the blind spots. You may also notice that there's no rearview mirror. That's because there's no rear window. This feature is precluded by the car's bodywork and roof-mounted engine air intake. To optimize curb weight, the Valkyrie is composed entirely of carbon fiber. According to Aston Martin, there isn't a single steel component in the vehicle's structure. This hypercar is prohibitively expensive, but that hasn't hurt its ability to attract serious interest. Aston Martin reports that both the standard Valkyrie and Valkyrie AMR Pro are already sold out.Engine, Transmission, and PerformanceThe Valkyrie's hybrid powertrain consists of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 and an electric motor. A seven-speed automatic transmission directs power to the rear wheels. Alone, the V-12 delivers 1000 horsepower, while the battery-electric system—designed by Rimac and Integral Powertrain—contributes an additional 160 horsepower. Combined, the power sources produce a total output of 1160 horsepower and 663 lb-ft of torque. Aston Martin's Valkyrie AMR Pro features the same powertrain, but the V-12's calibration has been tweaked to boost output. The AMR Pro has a lighter curb weight than the road car, and Aston claims that it's capable of generating more than its own weight in downforce.Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGFuel-economy estimates for the 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie haven't been revealed.Interior, Comfort, and CargoThe Aston Martin Valkyrie provides seating for two. The cockpit is shaped like a teardrop, with passengers placed in a reclined feet-up position. It's similar to the seating position in modern Formula 1 race cars. A four-point harness is standard, and a six-point harness is available for those who plan to log lots of time at the track. To reduce driver distraction and busyness, all of the car's switchgear is placed on the steering wheel, with vital signs reflected on a single OLED display screen. The switches are offered in anodized silver, black, or red. Aston offers a wide range of colors, patterns, and finishes for the upholstery, and the seat harnesses come in a choice of six bold hues. To make vehicle entry and exit easier, the Valkyrie's steering wheel is detachable.All Reviews

During a few days of downtime in the Romanian capital after the end of the Gumball 3000, we head to the museum (which is open to the public) for a visit and an opportunity to take a look at everything that can be found within. On display are around 160 of the 350 cars that form the collection, sorted by theme and showing a vast variety of different automobiles. Ion Tiriac, former tennis player and then coach, is now an important businessman in Romania and opens his personal collection up for viewing, so a thanks to both him and the team for creating this display and for my visit to share it with you.Read moreloading.....

The collection of approximately 70 cars is possibly the highest-valued in the world with an estimated value of over $300 million. With a net worth of $6.2 billion, Mr. Lauren can afford to continue to add breathtaking, one-of-a-kind automotive treasures to his collection. The highlight of the collection is the 1938 Bugatti 57SC Atlantic, one of four ever built and one of only two examples that still exist. The car is worth roughly $50 million and won both the “Best in Show” at the 1990 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and the 2012 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the world's most prestigious car show. Another car in the collection is a 1929 Bentley 4.5-liter 'Blower' that took part in one of the world’s oldest automobile races, The 24 Hours of Le Mans, in 1930, 1932, and 1933.Read moreloading.....I agree to the terms of posting

If you're reading this right now, it's safe to say you love cars. And who wouldn't? Cars are the products of a beautiful marriage between form and functionality. New vehicles are constantly being developed that push the envelope of design, technology, and innovation. So how can you own just one!? The answer to that question is probably that cars are expensive, they take up space, and having more than one or two is usually unnecessary and impractical.
But what if you were a sultan, a prince, a pro athlete, or a successful entrepreneur, and you weren't bound by price or storage restrictions? This article will showcase 25 Jaw-Dropping Images of the Most Expensive Car Collections in the world.
People who collect cars do it for a variety of reasons. Some purchase cars as investments, as many cars appreciate in value over time.This depends, of course, on the rarity and historical background of the vehicle. Other collectors simply need to own the very best of everything and so jump at the opportunity to acquire new models of rare and exotic cars. Many collectors are eccentric personalities who own custom-made vehicles, inspired by their own visions of car design. Regardless of their reasons, the car collectors and their collections featured in this article are extraordinary and incredibly impressive. It's possible to visit and view some of these collections, as a handful of them are actually open to the public. For the majority of the collections, however, you'll have to settle for viewing them here:
