Indian-American Businessman Kris Singh Orders His Aston Martin Valkyrie With Real Moon Dust Paint

The co-developed hypercar by Aston Martin and Red Bull Advanced Technologies, formerly identified by its codename AM-RB 001, was officially named the Aston Martin Valkyrie. The Valkyrie will be limited in numbers and buyers can customise the hypercar to their preference. But Indian-American businessman Kris Singh went the extra mile.

Singh will soon add a USD 3.2 million (INR 20 crore) Aston Martin Valkyrie to his garage. But what’s more unique than this limited run hypercar itself, is its paint that will have actual Moon dust. The paint, at INR 25 crore, costs more than the hypercar. This is the most unique supercar customisation, and it will remain so for quite a while.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!! My visit to Aston Martin was very inspiring. A few weeks ago @milesnurnberger had commented to me that a spec we were discussing reminded him of a Space Ship. I immediately responded, “The Valkyrie makes a Space Ship look like a Car!” 😆👍 That got me thinking… How do I raise the bar of my spec to be worthy of Valkyrie level? 🤔 If ever there was a machine that could grip the ground and rip around the craters of the Moon like it’s on rails, it would be the Aston Martin Valkyrie. Unfortunately, science won’t allow me to be the first person to drive on the Moon (gravity is still an issue, they say), but nothing is stopping me from bringing the Moon to my Valkyrie!! 🌚 I have sourced, gotten proper verification, and purchased an actual Rock from the Moon which will be ground to dust and used as a key ingredient in Karosserie Lunar Red which will be the color of my Aston Martin Valkyrie. This will be the first car ever to feature a paint formula that includes actual ingredients from #SPACE !!! Thank You to everyone at @astonmartinlagonda, @redbullracing and Karosserie in Wayne, PA. More renderings will be released in the coming weeks and months. We will also document and share some of the process of making actual Moon Rock part of this very special color being developed exclusively for the most special car of my lifetime: The Aston Martin Valkyrie. 🙏👽🙏 Thanks to 🖍@marcovanoverbeeke🖍 for helping refine my spec and providing me with renderings and thanks to 🌠@capitolsunset🌠 for setting the mood of the image on the Moon. More to come!! #ToTheMoonAndBack #🌚 🙏😆🙏 ______________________________________________________ #AstonMartin #Valkyrie #AstonMartinValkyrie #Moon #MoonRock #KarosserieLunarRed #KrisSingh #Red #BloodRedMoon #ToTheMoonAndBack #ComingSoon #2019 #RaiseTheBar #NASA #RedBull #RedBullRacing #AdrianNewey #MarekReichman #MilesNurnberger #AndyPalmer #AstonMartinRules #GameChanger #LunarRed #F1 #AstonMartinLive #RedWillNeverBeTheSame #TheRedOfAllReds #BLESSED ______________________________________________________ PS – No information or details regarding my source, purchase price, weight of the Moon Rock, or other, will be shared.

In case you’re wondering, the Valkyrie will be powered by a 6.5 Litre Naturally Aspirated V12 engine assisted by hybrid technology which, the company claims, can heat up the exhaust to a stunning 800 degrees. Aston is targeting a 1,000 PS power figure for the 1,000 kg total weight.
