Aston Martin sent over the Valhalla for Jeremy Clarkson to review. While noting the eye-popping price tag, he remained professional in his assessment. Here's a preview: "As you’d expect, it’s a very complicated 1,064bhp car that uses slick air management and electric propulsion to assist the raw power from a flat-plane crank, twin-turbocharged V8. But the 740bhp Lamborghini Trampoline I reviewed recently is similarly complex and costs about a quarter as much. "Eventually professionalism and inquisitiveness got the better of me. So I opened the door and noted that half the roof came with it, which meant that climbing aboard was easy." (Usual disclaimers apply, including the possible encounter of a strong paywall.)
