California-based TenCate Advanced Composites, which is part of Japan’s Toray Group, says it will supply carbon fiber and other composite materials for Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd.’s upcoming Valkyrie hypercar.
Under the contract, TenCate will provide composites used for structural, cosmetic and high-temperature components. The materials will include surfacing films and adhesives, a honeycomb core and TenCate’s pre-impregnated composite fibers. All of the materials will be sourced from TenCate's U.K. facility.
Aston Martin developed the stylish 2-seater, which is built on a carbon fiber structure, with Red Bull Racing. The car’s hybrid powertrain, which includes a 6.5-liter Cosworth V-12 engine, is expected to make more than 1,100 hp.
Production will be limited to 175 vehicles, including 25 track-only AMR variants. Due early next year, the Valkyrie is priced at £2.5 million ($3.4 million).
