LEGO Technic Aston Martin Valkyrie
A working 6.5-liter V12 engine
When the driver’s tire is rotated, the pistons of the 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the rear mid-mounted position move.
The “LEGO Technic Aston Martin Valkyrie” is a perfect reproduction of the Aston Martin hypercar made by LEGO Technic. This time, it was developed as part of a collaboration between LEGO Technic and the game software “Asphalt: Legends Unite.” In addition to being sold as a LEGO Technic model, the Valkyrie can be used in the game in both its real car and LEGO specifications.
The LEGO Technic Aston Martin Valkyrie, now available in Japan, is aimed at children aged 9 and up and realistically reproduces the excellent aerodynamics and technology of the real car, as well as its vibrant body color. It also includes all the features of the real car, such as a movable steering wheel with a knob on top of the body and gull-wing doors that flip up.
By unfolding the rear engine hood and rotating the tire on the driver’s side, the pistons of the 6.5-liter V12 engine, which produces a maximum output of 1,140 PS, can be moved.In addition, the differential mechanical mechanism can also be assembled using LEGO Technic parts.
Valkyrie lives on in Lego and games
This time, in addition to LEGO Technic, the company has collaborated with the video game “Asphalt: Legends Unite,” allowing players to enjoy Valkyrie in a variety of styles and on a variety of platforms.
Marek Reichman, Aston Martin’s Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer, commented on the latest collaboration with LEGO:
“The Valkyrie is an iconic Aston Martin, a symbol of engineering, design and innovative aerodynamics. Our collaboration with LEGO Technic celebrates the technological foresight that brought the Valkyrie to life and also allows us to introduce the car to gaming fans by bringing it to Asphalt: Legends Unite.”
