Aston Martin Valhalla
May 26, 2026 at 10:28 PM
Launch-day pass: confirmed Valhalla as flagship Bond car with pop-out machine guns, Double-O unlock gate, 1064 bhp hybrid spec block, TacSim availability
The Aston Martin Valhalla is a flagship hybrid hypercar that appears in 007 First Light as Bond's signature drivable vehicle. It is gated behind the in-game Double-O promotion, meaning players reach it only after Bond's confirmed 007 status. The Valhalla features modified Q Branch armaments and is one of two Aston Martins drivable in the campaign, the other being the vintage DBS.
Spec | Value |
|---|---|
Manufacturer | Aston Martin |
Body Style | Mid-engine two-seat hypercar |
Power Train | Hybrid; 4.0L twin-turbo V8 plus electric motors |
Combined Power Output | 1,064 bhp |
0 to 62 mph | 2.5 seconds |
Top Speed | 217 mph |
Manufacturer's Status | Limited-run production hypercar |
Q Branch has fitted the Valhalla with concealed pop-out machine guns mounted in the front fender vents. The deployment is triggered from a wheel-mounted control during chase sequences. The car retains its production cosmetic profile when guns are not deployed; the modifications are invisible from outside the vehicle.
Story unlock. The Valhalla becomes drivable after Bond's Double-O promotion is confirmed in the campaign. The exact unlock chapter is mid-campaign; players who race straight through the early missions reach the unlock during the London arc.
TacSim availability. Once unlocked in story, the Valhalla appears in Tactical Simulation Mode scenarios that feature drivable vehicles.
Free-roam. 007 First Light is a linear narrative game without traditional free-roam driving. The Valhalla appears in scripted sequences and in TacSim contexts.
Sequence | Use |
|---|---|
High-society arrivals | Cinematic entrance into mission environments |
Chase sequences | Active player-controlled pursuit or escape |
Q Branch tutorials | Demonstration of the pop-out machine gun system |
Reviewers note that driving sequences are a relative weak point compared to the on-foot stealth and combat. The Valhalla handles tighter than the DBS, with the hybrid drivetrain giving acceleration responsiveness that feels exaggerated compared to physical handling. The car is presented as cinematic rather than as a simulation.
IO Interactive partnered with Aston Martin for in-game placement. The Valhalla is the brand's modern production hypercar and Aston Martin's choice of representative for the modern, contemporary Bond era. The vintage Aston Martin DBS represents the heritage side of the same partnership.
