The rear is just from another planet, but I question how it would be driving around town in an F1 seating position?

We're getting in to 'how many angels can dance on the head of a pin' territory here.
I'll just say I'd like to have two of each of the cars discussed here, and call it good.

Kinda sucks that the Aston is a single-seater. It would be weird to never show a friend or family member what it can do.

As of July 11 this year, AM is showing that it's a two-seater... Am I missing something?

To maximise interior space the seats are mounted directly to the tub, with occupants adopting a reclined ‘feet-up’ position reminiscent of today’s Formula One and Le Mans Prototype race cars, ensuring driver and passenger are extremely safe, perfectly supported and feel completely at one with the car

Sorry, I stand corrected - looks like you're right! That's gonna be one cozy cockpit. And already in a reclined position... "hey baby, how you doin'?" haha

You'll be too reclined and contorted for either of you to get any action in that car.

Is the Valkyrie going to have a V12??? If so is it the engine from the Vulcan? 7.0 V12 I believe.

AM says "6.5-litre V12 engine developed with Cosworth." I've no clue if it's all new or what.

I don't believe it is all new per say. Interesting things going on at Aston Martin and the engine shake up this week in F1. I wonder if Red Bull had any part in the manufacture of this car? How far apart is Aston from Red Bull? Can't be that far.
