<b><strong>Aston Martin’s 1064-HP Valhalla Hypercar Goes Roofless</strong></b>

The new Spider loses the top but keeps the same 217-mph top speed, making it the fastest open-air Aston ever.

Fancy the feel of the wind in your horned helmet? Well, right this way, Herre or Fru Viking, because Aston Martin has a new convertible that’s ready to Ragnarök your world. Just released earlier this year, the million-dollar Valhalla hybrid supercar is now available in a new 2028 Spider edition, with a selection of removable roofs that let you hear every barbaric yawp of that turbocharged and hybridized 4.0-liter V-8.

Sometimes, cutting the roof off a supercar or hypercar dilutes the performance a little, with compromised aerodynamics. You know what other type of car comes in roofless form? F1 racing machines. The Valhalla Spider leverages the expertise of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1 racing team to rework the aerodynamics to allow for a full-fat 217-mph top speed when roofless, same as the coupe.

A stowable fabric roof is fitted as standard, should you run into a few raindrops when out for a cruise in your mid-engine hybrid hypercar. However, putting this up limits top speed to a still relatively bananas 124 mph, for the same reason you can’t wear a hat while skydiving. So long, fedora. Aston Martin also offers a removable carbon-fiber hard top that’s again good for up to 217 mph.

Maximum topless performance required Aston to design a wind deflector that channels air around passengers but still down to the rear air intake snorkel.
