V12 SOUND COMPARISON | Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH vs Lola Aston Martin DBR1-2

2009 Lola Aston Martin DBR1-2 Engine: 60° V12 NA / 5935 cc / 362.2 cu in Power: 650 hp / 484,2 kw @ 7500 rpm Torque: 770 Nm / 568 ft lbs @ 6000 rpm Weight: 900 kg / 1984.1 lbs Following initial success in 2008 with the Lola B08/60 and Aston Martin V12, AMR made the decision to fully move into the top flight LMP1 class and challenge for an overall win at Le Mans. The car to do this was the Lola-Aston Martin B09/60 (Aston Martin LMP1 for short), an evolution of the previous B08/60 and known internally as the DBR1-2. It was still built by Lola and co-developed by AMR/Prodrive and also involved the parts suppliers Michelin, Koni and BBS. AMR continued to receive sponsorship from Gulf Oil and the car carried the famous blue and orange livery. As in the 2008 car, the Lola-Aston Martin used the same V12 from the DBR9 GT1 car, but the standard Lola gearbox was replaced by a more compact Xtrac 6-speed with paddle-shift. An unusual feature to the car was the rearward brake cooling, which fed air to the brakes through two fans, and eliminates brake ducts on the body. The styling of the Aston Martin LMP1 was not only the product of the wind tunnel but Director of Design, Marek Reichman gave the car the look of an Aston. Two B09/60s (007 and 009) competed in the full LMS season including the 24 hour race where they were joined by a third car, 008 entered under the AMR Eastern Europe banner for Charouz Racing Systems. The number 007 car won the Le Mans Series overall. 2025 Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH Engine: Cosworth RA 65° V12 / 6.500 cc / 396.7 cu in Power: 670 bhp / 500 kW @ 10.500 rpm Weight: 1030 kg / 2271 lbs RWD, 7-speed sequential The new car, developed by Aston Martin Performance Technologies and THOR, is unique in the top Hypercar division of global endurance motorsport in that it is the only one among its contemporaries to derive its roots from an existing production-based extreme performance car – Aston Martin Valkyrie, the ultimate hypercar. The race-optimised carbon fibre chassis Valkyrie is powered by a modified, lean-burn version of the sensational Cosworth-built 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine, which in standard road-going form revs to 11,000rpm and develops over 1000bhp. The power unit is enhanced and adapted to meet the performance window of the Hypercar class (680hp) and developed to withstand the rigours of top-level long-distance competition. The choice of a V12 throughout the Valkyrie bloodline offers clear performance benefits, while also matching the Aston Martin aesthetic for a pure racing solution.
