René Staud was born in Stuttgart in 1951. A top car photographer for five decades, he is renowned as one of the greatest innovators of automotive photography. His patented Magicflash® not only illuminated his art, but also revolutionized car photography in the studio. Still the most apt review of his work originated from Motor Presse Stuttgart: Honestly, it is. In 50 years from now, people will still consider Valkyrie the wildest ride from Aston Martin’s past and maybe from the entire motoring history. Aston has always been a fairly conservative company, producing gorgeous cars yet never really pushing the envelope. Now, suddenly, they’ve partnered with Red Bull Racing – a team that’s even considered a disrupter in the crazy Formula 1-universe – to develop a hypercar from scratch. Next, they’ve asked us to produce a book about it. It was all very, very ballsy. The end result is quite something, too. Both the book and the car, I mean. Motoring history knows a few iconic milestones: Bugatti Atlantic, Ferrari 250 GTO, McLaren F1. Valkyrie is next in line. It most probably will be the last of its species as well. We felt extremely fortunate to be allowed to witness the entire development from inside, because no one will ever repeat this. Inside Valkyrie’ by WAFT is a four part book which covers the entire development of Aston’s ultimate hypercar, together with all details, anecdotes and long talks with all protagonists. Part one tells how Red Bull and Aston Martin came together. Part two explains the design process and the aero development, including a private lecture by Adrian Newey. Part three reveals how many endless days were spent on the engineering of engine, chassis, gearbox, active suspension and what else, while part 4 is almost like an exciting novel, testifying what a tough endurance race testing and assembly eventually became. It’s limited to 300 numbered copies only and available in the CD Shop. As Rowan also observes in his foreword: ‘Goodness, things were done differently then and it’s a joy to be reminded of it.’ Exactly so – and this definitive work is a joy in so many ways.” – OCTANEV8 enthusiast Rowan Atkinson introduces the book with a glowing foreword, in which he insists, “You will be agog at the depth of the book’s analysis and the extraordinary detail it provides of the history of the V8s.” With over 400 archive images, many previously unseen, the reader is transported behind the scenes of the most fascinating period of Aston Martin’s history. These pictures are accompanied by more than 120 stunning colour photographs of the principal models. Available in three luxury and limited editions, no enthusiast’s library is complete without this comprehensive account of the turbulent history of Aston Martin and its esteemed V8 engine. We” includes Aston Martin Lagonda Limited, Aston Martin Lagonda of Europe GmbH, Aston Martin Lagonda of North America Inc., Aston Martin Lagonda (China) Automobile Distribution Co. Ltd, Aston Martin Japan Limited, Aston Martin Asia Pacific PTE Limited, Aston Martin MENA Limited and your chosen Aston Martin Franchised Dealer.

Is that why the logo bears the wings of the phoenix?"
