Most kids get picked up from school in SUVs but a boy in the UK had the wildest ride of our dreams, when his father showed up in an Aston Martin Valkyrie.
The father in question is Tom Hartley Jnr, owner of a hypercar dealer in London, UK, which is how he had access to the multi-million vehicle. The young boy looks happy to see the Valkyrie after a tiring school day. In the video uploaded on Twitter, we can see him waiting for his father to open the gullwing doors, and then staring at the exposed carbon-fiber monocoque of the hypercar. In any case, it will be fun climbing in the pure racecar interior and hearing the V12 engine roar during the start-up.

Aston Martin will produce 150 units of the Valkyrie, plus 85 units for the Valkyrie Spider and 40 units for the track-only Valkyrie AMR Pro. The road-going version is fitted with a mid-mounted naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 by Cosworth and a Rimac-built hybrid system producing a combined 1,160 hp (865 kW / 1,176 PS) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque.
This specific Aston Martin Valkyrie is currently listed for sale on the Tom Hartley Jnr website. Pricing is not disclosed but we guess it will be over $3 million. The model is painted in British Racing Green combined with a Black Alcantara interior, Matt Black Magnesium wheels, and plenty of optional extras. It also comes with two pairs of headphones, to protect your ears from the high-revving V12. The listing suggests that the hypercar has 75 miles (121 km) on the odometer, probably after the dealer took it for a spin.
