How the hell did they manage to push out 150hp per liters out of this engine?
I know it's made by Cosworth but still, that's crazy. That's like having a Huracan push 830 hp on basically stock internals.

Valkyrie competition

what do you guys think the trap speed was for this car's quarter mile run?
spheric 5m ago
Based on the EST well over 150mph (not realistic noticing the delay on the launch and knowing that the E motor is working alone until the car reaches 15km/h) , but i'm pretty sure is lower than 150mph, a 992 Turbo S did the same time with a trap speed of 137mph to 139mph (133mph & 135mph by dratimes) so 140mph & 143mph at best , but knowing the SF90 Stradale does it in 9.6 with a trap speed of 145mph to 148mph it might be even (140mph to 143mph ) lower.
( my estimates, so yep not accurate)
also noticing the Jesko Absolut did an 8.9s it was over 150mph (180mph) for sure
charlescars 5m ago @spheric
I actually think the contrary is true, I believe it was over 150 mph, trap speed usually reflects how well a car pulls at higher speed. In terms of launch, it wasn't all too different from the Vanquish, maybe a bit faster, but it pulled away after that. The Vanquish traps mid 130s easily, so it's safe to say the Valkyrie would trap over 150, my guess around 155. Especially considering the power and weight of the car, being around 3000 pounds and having over 1000 hp.

SF90 Stradale does it in 9.6 with a trap speed of 145mph to 148mph (not generating that amount of downforce ( 390kg of downforce at 155mph.))
and 1/2 mile in 15.17 seconds at 177 mph , this numbers are proven to be true theres no way the valkyrie was over 150mph in a 1/4 mile or highly unlikely ( with the amouth of downforce it generates (1,100kg, and develops it at lower speed (from 137mph) ), over the 1/2 mile time it will start to gain ground over the SF90? Probably but carwow didn't release the 1/2 mile time to be sure about it.
Jesko Absolut did 8.9s trap speed 180.84mph with minimal downforce design (Cd of just 0.278) this means At 155 mph 88 lbs (40 kg) of downforce, by drag coeficient and downforce is highly unlikely that the valkyrie did 150mph in a 1/4mile
Cocobe 3d ago @spheric
on the contrary, cars with huge power, and poor off the line spend a lot of "time" at low speed, but it also doesn't really travel that far in that first phase, then rocket to a much higher trap speed for a given time.
That's why a Corvette ZR1X will do a 8.9s at 153mph, but an Absolut would do 8.9s at 180+mph.
A 10.1s in the Valkyrie would be similar to an Agera RS or Regera which could trap 160+mph.

@mods i dont know where you got that 1270kg claim but @FastestLaps should delete it.
in the meantime add 1355kg and 1340kg

Too bad it' looks good but keeps on breaking down.

@FastestLaps please change the main pic to one of these, it still has the old livery. Please do the same with the Purosangue.
koenigseggjesko 1y ago
@FastestLaps The Valkyrie has a 7-speed Ricardo single-clutch automated manual not a dual clutch, please fix it.
