This one-of-a-kind Aston Martin Valkyrie has cost over $600,000 in options, and it is currently for sale in London.
Among the 150 units of the Coupé version, this one, nicknamed “Anemos,” is undoubtedly one of the most extravagant configurations ever made. With a visible carbon body tinted in purple and 24-carat gold details, this hypercar is a true collector’s piece. And its owner didn’t settle for a standard configuration: he added over $600,000 in options to turn it into a rolling work of art.

A violet carbon fiber exposed and gold Valkyrie?
What immediately stands out is the unique hue of the exposed carbon. While most Valkyries sport a raw or black finish, the Valkyrie Anemos displays a metallic purple that hypnotically catches the light. Every carbon fiber has been infused with specific pigments to achieve this effect—a process that is extremely complex and expensive, found only with the most prestigious manufacturers like Pagani, Bugatti, or, on rare occasions, Ferrari. But that’s not all. To further enhance the exclusivity of this configuration, the owner added 24-carat gold leaf touches to several parts of the bodywork: the front splitter, the hood’s air intakes, the edges of the glass cockpit, the side aerodynamic elements, the large roof air intake, and even the rear diffuser. Essentially, all the parts that could normally be painted in a contrasting color have been done in gold.
Not stopping at that extravagance, the car is also equipped with golden Aston Martin badges, satin black aluminum wheels with gold inserts, and a visible carbon roof. To protect this spectacular ensemble, a protective film has been applied over the entire body to avoid scratches and other damage. At this price level, it’s almost a necessity!
An interior as exclusive as the exterior
The cabin of this Valkyrie is no less extravagant. Like all Valkyries, the focus is on carbon fiber to reduce weight as much as possible, but here the owner chose to cover the seats in violet leather and Alcantara to stay on theme. Even the racing harnesses match this hue. The detachable steering wheel controls are also in gold, a detail that echoes the ultra-luxurious exterior of the vehicle. While the look is impressive, it’s important not to forget that the Valkyrie remains a machine built for pure performance. Developed with the expertise of Adrian Newey, the famous Red Bull Racing engineer in Formula 1, it pushes aerodynamics to the extreme. Its ultra-tight and stripped-down cockpit feels more like an F1 single-seater than a road hypercar. No heated seats, and zero comfort for this British hypercar.
A naturally aspirated V12 that screams up to 11,100 RPM
Beneath this extravagant body, the Valkyrie is a true race car. Its naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine, developed by Cosworth, is capable of revving up to 11,100 rpm—a level almost never seen in a road engine. It produces 1,014 horsepower on its own, and thanks to a hybrid system, total power reaches 1,176 horsepower. With only 1,030 kg on the scale, this hypercar promises mind-blowing performance: 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 248.5 mph. Despite its potential, this Valkyrie has only covered 50 miles since delivery. It is currently for sale at Joe Macari, a British specialist in exceptional cars. The asking price has not been revealed, but given the options and the uniqueness of the configuration, it could easily exceed the original price of $3.78 million.
This article explores the customization of this extraordinary Aston Martin Valkyrie Anemos, whose configuration in purple carbon and 24-carat gold makes it unique in the world. With over 600,000 euros in options and a naturally aspirated V12 that roars at over 11,000 rpm, it embodies the pinnacle of exclusivity and performance—a true gem that could see its price soar in the collectors’ market.
