Star Formula 1 Driver Bought the Most Extreme Modern Hypercars

Aston Martin Valkyrie and Mercedes-AMG One are among the most anticipated hypercars of our time. Both are powerful, expensive, and feature advanced aerodynamics. And both of these cars will soon be in David Coulthard’s garage. Star Formula 1 Driver Bought the Most Extreme Modern Hypercars

Yes, indeed, the former McLaren and Red Bull driver is likely the only one who has ordered both the Aston Martin Valkyrie and the Mercedes-AMG One. Of course, Coulthard is a wealthy man, but not an oligarch.

The two coupes together cost about 6 million dollars. Coulthard explained his decision by saying that he really loves fast Mercedes cars from AMG and respects the famous designer Adrian Newey, who worked on the aerodynamics of the Aston Martin.

For reference: the Aston Martin Valkyrie is equipped with a 6.5-liter 1000 horsepower V12 and a 160 hp electric motor. The Mercedes-AMG One has a hybrid installation from a Formula 1 car: a 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 and an electric motor together also deliver over 1000 horsepower.

Both cars can accelerate to 100 km/h in about 2.5 seconds and reach speeds close to 400 km/h.

A total of 150 Aston Martins and 275 Mercedes will be produced.
