Aston Martin has taken the roof off its first series-production mid-engined hypercar. The Aston Martin Valhalla Spider, revealed on 28 October 2026 and shown in public at the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas, keeps the coupé’s 1,079 PS (1,064 hp) plug-in hybrid V8 and its 217 mph top speed, now with the sky as the roof. Aston Martin has not given a price; evo estimates around £935,000, and first deliveries start in Q3 2027 (autoevolution, evo).
VALHALLA SPIDER AT A GLANCE
1,079 PS / 1,064 hp, 1,100 Nm · 4.0 twin-turbo V8 + 3 e-motors · 0–60 mph 2.4 s · 217 mph roof off, 124 mph with fabric roof · price ~£935,000 (evo estimate) · deliveries Q3 2027
The Fastest Open-Top Aston Martin
The Spider arrives almost two years after the Valhalla coupé went into production. Aston Martin calls it the fastest open-top car it has ever made: with the roof off, it reaches the same electronically limited 350 km/h (217 mph) as the coupé (autoevolution).
The roof is a removable carbon-fibre panel. A three-piece wind deflector clips onto the windscreen frame and also feeds air to the engine snorkel. There is an optional carbon hard top, which keeps the full top speed. With the fabric roof fitted, the car is automatically limited to 200 km/h (124 mph) (evo). A rain cover protects the cabin when the car is parked.
Aston Martin Valhalla Spider Specs
Nothing changes under the skin. A 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with a flat-plane crank makes 828 PS (817 hp) and 850 Nm. Two electric motors on the front axle and one on the rear add 251 PS, for a combined 1,079 PS (1,064 hp) and 1,100 Nm. An eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox drives all four wheels, and the electric motors handle reverse, so there is no mechanical reverse gear (autoevolution).

The chassis is the coupé’s carbon-fibre tub, with F1-style pushrod front suspension and inboard dampers. Hidden active wings front and rear can lie flat like a DRS or angle up for downforce, and Aston Martin quotes 600 kg of rear downforce. According to evo, the Spider weighs 1,680 kg dry with the lightweight options, 25 kg more than the coupé (evo).
What Changes From the Coupé
The engine snorkel moved from the fixed roof to the spine on the rear deck. It sits 35 mm higher, so it still breathes cleanly with the roof off. A new carbon-fibre Touring Seat is standard, and the original carbon race seat is a no-cost option. The dihedral doors stay, with a slightly more curved top edge to the door glass (autoevolution).
Price, Production and Deliveries
Aston Martin has not announced a price. evo estimates around £935,000, about 40% more than the coupé; Autocar suggests around £1.3M (evo, Drive Turismo). At the ECB reference rates of 11 November 2026, £935,000 is about €1.12M or $1.24M (ECB). For comparison, the Valhalla coupé cost $1,051,000 in the US.
| Estimate | GBP | EUR | USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| evo | £935,000 | ~€1.12M | ~$1.24M |
| Autocar | ~£1.3M | ~€1.55M | ~$1.73M |
Aston Martin plans to build 999 Valhallas in total. evo and Autocar report that around one in four will be a Spider, so roughly 250 cars, but the final number has not been set. First customer deliveries start in the third quarter of 2027 (NordiskBil).
Rivals
The Spider joins a small group of open-top plug-in hybrid hypercars with more than 1,000 PS, alongside the Ferrari SF90 XX Spider and the Lamborghini Revuelto Roadster. evo frames it as a direct rival to the new Ferrari 849 Testarossa Spider, which sits on our upcoming supercars calendar.
Batman Garage Verdict
The Valhalla was always more about the sound and the drama of an F1-style V8 than lap times, and losing the roof only adds to that. The 124 mph limit with the fabric roof is a real catch, so the carbon hard top looks like the option to tick.
