Offered a Valhalla Allocation-Need Advice ASAP...Please!

I was offered an allocation several months ago before it was called the Valhalla...but I wasn’t sure either. I’ve owned a few Aston’s and love the marque, but most of us know the production cars depreciate like rocks.
But, the Valhalla is in mid-hypercar territory...(I say mid because the Valkyrie is their epitome hypercar). I heard 500 will be made so it is limited. But this seems unchartered territory except for the One-77, which was even more limited.
It’s just too unpredictable with Aston’s wavering financials as well as several companies flooding the market with “hypercars.” Look at how the Centenario faired with even less units....not well.
But Lord almighty the Valhalla looks magnificent!

What kind of pricing are they talking about?

 

Press reports put it at 1.1-1.3 mil

 

Wow. Then it really is One 77 territory.

I'm actually a little confused between the Valhalla and the Vanquish Vision. Seem very similar, and i thought the VV was going to be the regular production flagship for 2021?

 

I would be very reluctant too, there seems to be a flood of "hypercars" coming from every direction, all priced in a bracket that is "unobtanium" to 99.9% of people and something has to give, just a matter of time.
It is just unsustainable to support that supply with limited pool of buyers who eventually get tired of this too.

 

stick to what you know unless theyre taking the downside somehow!

 

So the Valhalla is the mid-hypercar supposedly producing 500, I believe my friend who has a deposit, said 1.5 euros (he’s hedging on the currency rate).
I was in a think-tank meeting discussing the Vanquish Vision concept car you speak of and again, it looked absolutely gorgeous with a very similar design element as the Valhalla, especially the front. They did not discuss engine specs, but it was clear that the Vanquish concept was to compete against likes of the 488, Huracan, 720S, etc...so somewhere in the $300-400k when released.

The Valhalla is a V6, right? That right there would make me a bit hesitant. The Valkyrie would be a safer bet with a 10,000 rpm V12.

 

I agree if buying new. Just too many new Aston hypercars.

My choice be a less than 100 produced modern Aston supercar, like one-77 or V12 Zagato.

 

You already know the answer. The fact you are asking to be convinced means it's not the right car for you. When it's the right car you won't have to second guess and will be more than happy to give them your money. This is not one of those situations.

edit: just saw the post above mine. Good call.

 

I had been in to Aston of Naples this spring inquiring about the Vanquish Vision. The sales rep had contact the Aston rep for the US. He said no word yet on the vanquish, but offered me a Valhalla even though I have no history at all with AM. The Valhalla looks like an amazing car, but there are a bunch amazing hypercars out there. Not sure it is worth a million.

 

I was almost convinced I would take my allocation, but changed my mind on it. I love the looks, the idea, but I also realized I wouldn't drive it nearly as much as I wanted, and probably going in a different direction instead.

 

It is a beautiful car but in power and tech terms the SF90S is already in the same ballpark at half the price. I highly doubt Aston will sell more than 2-300 Valhallas.

At Pebble Beach 2021, I was told it starts at $815K by one of the exec's. Maybe they are evaluating their markets viability.....

 

My experience with one off Aston’s, it’s a VERY niche buyer. That’s fine if keeping for a lifetime as they are gorgeous. But if looking for an exit strategy, it could be a very difficult resale with unforeseen depreciation.

 

same boat. take it.

 

A lot has changed… just went to Aston Newport yesterday and chatted with them about the Valhalla. Looks like now they are pushing up production to 999 . Price point is around $850k. Deposit dropped from $300k to $200k. Should have over 1000hp. Release in 2023.
Concerns: higher production. By the time it’s 2023, competitors will be at 1500-2000HP. Depreciation.
I’m still considering it, it’s one of the most beautiful designs IMO. But just don’t know if it will hold value for this chunk of change.

Sounds like a car that would slot in with the new Ford GT and float accordingly price-wise. Shares the characteristic of an obviously potent but somewhat underwhelming engine in terms of pride-of-ownership. $1M price-point. Limited but not too limited. Wild design. Benchmarked against previous LEs within their respective marks nothing truly comparable in their lineage. Both cars share a mysterious identity with regard to where they sit in the market. Both come from manufacturers with legendary racing history.

Tough to think about each in a vacuum (might just be me) but could play off each other when they're both sitting on the showroom floor at some boutique dealership. Can't think of anything else to benchmark against.
