The ultra-luxe vehicle is the third model to join the brand's Valkyrie line, expanding on the original car by updating its doors and removing its roof. There's no doubt that this [highly aerodynamic supercar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koenigsegg-sadairs-spear) is built for speed. Boasting a 1,140 horsepower, V12 engine, drivers of the 'Valkyrie Spider' will be able to reach speeds of up to 217 miles per hour with the roof attached -- without it, 205 miles per hour. The upgraded, removable roof is built from a light carbon fiber material with hinged polycarbonate windows. Aside from the car's drop-top feature, its new front-hinged butterfly doors mark the other significant point of difference from previous models. Aston Martin will produce and sell a total of 85 'Valkyrie Spiders,' making it an incredibly rare vehicle targeted towards wealthy collectors.
