Not only was the 1,160hp vehicle put on display, but also it was demonstrated making laps around Silverstone's Grand Prix circuit -- a drive that marks "one of the first times that [the] Aston Martin Valkyrie has been driven in the physical world."

According to Chris Goodwin, the test driver who showed off the vehicle's performance, there is still "a lot of development work to go, but we can now begin to really push the physical testing process and realize the capabilities of what we have developed over the past months."

The world's most extreme road car.

A landmark moment for Aston Martin.

To date, all 150 road-legal models have already been sold. Deliveries of the Aston Martin Valkyrie will begin in the final quarter of this year.
