Jeremy Clarkson spotted on London street climbing into £1m supercar

Footage shared on Instagram user Aaronspotz shows the broadcaster beside an Aston Martin Valhalla before getting into the driver’s seat in the capital.

Mr Clarkson, who made his name fronting the BBC’s Top Gear before launching The Grand Tour on Amazon, is one of Britain’s best‑known motoring presenters.

The 66-year-old, who lives in Oxfordshire, has long been associated with high‑performance cars and has owned or driven a long list of sports models over the years.

The Aston Martin Valhalla is the latest hybrid hypercar from the British marque and sits at the very top of its road‑car range.

According to Aston Martin, the mid‑engined machine pairs a 4.0‑litre twin‑turbocharged V8 sourced from Mercedes‑AMG with a trio of electric motors.

The plug‑in hybrid set‑up produces a total of around 1,064 horsepower and more than 800 lb ft of torque, with power sent to all four wheels.

Performance figures released by the manufacturer suggest the Valhalla can reach 62mph from a standstill in close to 2.5 seconds and go on to a top speed in excess of 200mph.

Only a limited number of examples are due to be built, with specialist motoring outlets reporting a price tag in the region between £850,000 and £1,000,000.

The brief London clip has been circulating on supercar‑spotter channels, where users have highlighted both the rarity of the Valhalla and Mr Clarkson’s long association with Aston Martin road tests on television.
