Only 150 examples of the exclusive Valkyrie hypercar were built by Aston Martin. F1 star Fernando Alonso has now been given one of them. However, the luxury car, which cost up to three million euros, was not driven for long ... 

"The day has come! I am the proud owner of the best road-legal car in the world. What a privilege to work for this brand," wrote Alonso in a tweet on X. 

The arrival of the 1,155 hp monster with a 6.5-liter V12 hybrid engine was not without its problems. Although the green speedster should only need 2.5 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and should reach a top speed of 400 km/h, suddenly nothing worked at all in Monaco.

Not a good omen
Even the Aston Martin mechanics were unable to get the car up to speed. A video on the Internet shows the Valkyrie being loaded onto a tow truck. Hopefully things will go better for the Spaniard in ten days' time at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku ...
