Valhalla reviews are out. It is good. Very good.

Impressive.

Chris Harris







Looks like a remarkable first effort bettering Ferrari at their own game on the first attempt.

It is either excellent value or ridiculously expensive depending on your point of view. Maybe both.

Styling has a lot to be desired. Which is odd considering who made it.

My vote of it's ugly doesn't matter because I can't afford it and even if I could I would not be invited to purchase one.

They will end up in a garageahla and be driven rarely.

Looks amazing in real life. Stunning.

With photos it seems to be very spec dependent.

Aston Martin Newport Beach has a fully exposed carbon one. As cool as the car is, it's just too plain looking. It does have like cool looking side skirts and everything and I do mean everything, is carbon. But the overall shape is missing elements of excitement. I didn't snap any pictures but just google it.

It reminds me in a way of the Nobel M600. Like a generic supercar shape devoid of angles or creases.

I'd say the Nobel M600 looks better than this.

No.

One with me for scale. We look so good together. It was clearly meant to be… other than the fact I’m not mega rich.

Also. Looks much much better in real life.

This is awesome. Color-changing paint, or "chameleon paint" as it was often referred to by rappers, was all the rage 25 years ago amongst more urban demographics for junk 80s and 90s American cars. Glad to see this come full circle.



I'll take one in a flat, non-metallic color.

Nice helmet. Never heard of Stilo.

It was actually popular on a lot of things. Remember the TVR Sagaris in Swordfish? Oh I do.


I specced one, then drove a demo, and then passed. Cool car, but I'm not spending 1.3 on this when I can get a Senna that isn't a hybrid and won't depreciate.
