The vehicle comes with a two-year maintenance program provided by Aston Martin and an extended factory warranty valid until August 2027.

The Valkyrie is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 Cosworth engine integrated with a hybrid system, delivering a total output of 1,160 horsepower.The model was developed in collaboration with Red Bull Advanced Technologies under the direction of Adrian Newey.

The auction will take place on October 10 in Knokke-Heist, Belgium, with the car expected to fetch between €2.4 and €2.8 million. The vehicle is finished in a distinctive shade called Dichroic Dawn and bears the name Badger Blue a nod to Ricciardo’s well-known nickname, the Honey Badger.
