Daniel Ricciardo’s Aston Martin Valkyrie: The £2.5 Million Hypercar Set to Dazzle at Auction!
In a thrilling announcement that has sent shockwaves through the automotive world, former F1 superstar Daniel Ricciardo is parting ways with his stunning Aston Martin Valkyrie, and the price tag is nothing short of jaw-dropping: £2,500,000! This is not just any car; it’s a masterpiece crafted in tandem by Aston Martin and the legendary Red Bull Racing, hailed as “the closest you can get to a Formula 1 car for the road,” thanks to the brilliant engineering of Adrian Newey.
Mark your calendars for October 10, 2025, because this extraordinary hypercar will be up for grabs at the inaugural Broad Arrow Zoute Concours Auction, coinciding with the prestigious Zoute Grand Prix Car Week. The event will take place at the Approach Golf in Knokke-Heist, featuring a remarkable lineup of around 70 highly coveted vehicles. But all eyes will undoubtedly be on Ricciardo’s Valkyrie, a car anticipated to fetch between £2,000,000 and £2,500,000 at auction.
Ricciardo himself has described his Valkyrie in glowing terms, stating, “It feels like a race car and it looks like a race car. I’m not used to having a roof over my head, but that’s the only thing that really feels different; otherwise, it’s a pretty straight-up race car.” When asked about the future of such technological marvels, he pondered, “Will we ever see another car like this again? I can’t predict the future. But when you ask if it is the pinnacle of road legal technology, then yes, I think it is.”
The vehicle boasts a striking ‘Badger Blue’ paint job, a nod to Ricciardo’s moniker, the Honey Badger, and is not just any vehicle but one that has been personally commissioned and owned by the racing icon. Its condition is described as ‘pristine,’ coupled with genuine motorsport ownership provenance that makes it a rare find in the collector’s market.
“We are thrilled to be presenting an incredibly rare Aston Martin Valkyrie at our first Zoute Concours Auction,” expressed Joe Twyman, VP of Sales for Broad Arrow’s EMEA Region. He emphasized the uniqueness of this auction piece, noting, “The Valkyrie is the ultimate example of converting race car technology into a road car, and the fact that this one was personally specified and owned by Formula 1 driver, Daniel Ricciardo, makes it truly unique and extremely desirable.”
As the countdown to the auction begins, enthusiasts and collectors alike are left to wonder: will this stunning hypercar become the crown jewel of someone’s collection, or will it remain a legendary piece of Ricciardo’s racing history? One thing is certain: this auction is not to be missed!
