Broad Arrow will present Daniel Ricciardo’s Aston Martin Valkyrie at the 2025 Zoute Concours Auction, offering collectors a rare chance at motorsport history.
When it comes to hypercars, few names carry as much attention as the Aston Martin Valkyrie. Built as the ultimate road-going variation of a Formula 1 car, it represents the rare moment where a production car feels more like a track weapon. This October, Broad Arrow will give collectors a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own one, made even more special because it was personally commissioned and owned by Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo. Crossing the block at the inaugural Zoute Concours Auction, Ricciardo’s Valkyrie is a slice of modern motorsport history that will surely bring a buzz to the room.
The Valkyrie itself is already legendary, engineered in partnership between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing with direction from renowned designer Adrian Newey. Under its lightweight, aerodynamic body sits a Cosworth-built 6.5L naturally aspirated V12, paired with a hybrid KERS system, producing 1,000 horsepower with a redline north of 11,000 rpm. For Daniel Ricciardo, who was racing with Red Bull during the Valkyrie’s early development, it was love at first sight. He described it by saying, “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 feels different.” His example, chassis number 089, stands apart for the details that make it uniquely his.
Ricciardo went deep into Aston Martin’s bespoke “Q” division to guarantee the Valkyrie mirrored his style. Painted in Dichroic Dawn, a £30,000 ($40,250) color he nicknamed “Badger Blue,” the car pays homage to his famous “Honey Badger” nickname while also showing off the Valkyrie’s curves and aero-focused design. Inside, black Alcantara and exposed satin carbon continue the no-compromise theme. Even the steering wheel and bucket seats feature bespoke touches with contrasting stitching and anodized switches. With fewer than 99 miles showing on the odometer, it’s practically brand-new, making this one of the most untouched Valkyries to hit the market since production ended in 2024.
Broad Arrow’s Zoute Concours Auction will feature around 70 collectible cars, but Ricciardo’s Valkyrie is the undeniable showstopper. With an estimate of €2.4–2.8 million ($3.2-3.7 million), it’s prepared to draw the attention of serious collectors who want the pinnacle of Aston Martin performance and a car directly linked to an F1 driver. For enthusiasts, it’s the closest thing to experiencing Formula 1 on the road, and the fact that this one was spec’d by Ricciardo adds an extra layer of desirability that can’t be replicated.
Adding to the excitement, Broad Arrow will also present another rare Aston Martin creation, the AMB 001 motorcycle, a collaboration with Brough Superior limited to just 100 units. With its turbocharged V-twin engine, carbon-fiber bodywork, and Aston’s featherlight “lacewing” badge shared with the Valkyrie, it serves as a reminder that Aston extends well beyond cars.
