What Is the 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro in Forza Horizon 6?

The 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro is the track-only evolution of one of the most ambitious road cars ever built. Where the standard Valkyrie was developed in collaboration between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing’s Adrian Newey as a street-legal hypercar, the AMR Pro strips everything back further — removing the heater, infotainment screens, and any other component not essential to going fast around a circuit. Only 25 units were ever built, every one already sold before deliveries began.

In Forza Horizon 6, it returns as an R-class machine with a PI of 989. It was confirmed for FH6 on May 13, 2026, and is widely recognised as the R-class car with the best handling rating in the entire game. With a 9.4 handling score and a perfect 10/10 braking, it is the car that rewards smooth, technically precise driving more than any other at this level. If you want the fastest lap times on a proper technical circuit, this is the car most likely to deliver them.

2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro Real-World Specs

The AMR Pro is built on the same carbon fibre monocoque as the road Valkyrie but taken significantly further. The body features LMP1-style aerodynamic elements — a dual-element rear wing, a wider overall body, and larger front and rear wing sections — all designed to generate far more downforce than the road car while keeping the centre of gravity as low as possible.

At the heart of it is a hybrid powertrain: a 6.5L naturally-aspirated V12 developed by Cosworth producing 1,000 hp (746 kW) on its own — the most powerful naturally-aspirated engine ever fitted to a production car at the time — paired with a 160 hp (119 kW) electric motor for a combined system output of 1,160 hp (865 kW). In FH6, Playground Games represents the AMR Pro at a quoted 1,000 hp output, focusing on the primary V12 engine figure.

The AMR Pro is also fitted with carbon-carbon brakes inspired by Formula 1, teamed with Michelin race tyres on 18-inch magnesium wheels. In real-world testing, the car is capable of generating lateral forces in excess of 3g through corners — a figure comparable to Formula 1 cars in medium-speed turns. At 2,370 lb (1,075 kg), it is 600 lb lighter than the road-going Valkyrie. Aston Martin states the AMR Pro is capable of reaching 225 mph, though top speed was never the primary design goal. The goal was always cornering speed and lap time.

Forza Horizon 6 Valkyrie AMR Pro Performance Stats

Here are the confirmed in-game performance stats for the 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro in Forza Horizon 6:

• Class: R
• PI (Performance Index): 989
• Drivetrain: RWD (Rear-Wheel Drive)
• Engine: Hybrid 6.5L Cosworth V12 + Electric Motor
• Horsepower: 1,000 HP (V12) / 1,160 HP combined
• Weight: 2,370 lb (1,075 kg)
• Speed: 7.9
• Handling: 9.4
• Acceleration: 8.0
• Launch: 8.6
• Braking: 10.0
• Tires: Slick (Michelin race spec — stock)
• Autoshow Price: 4,200,000 CR
• Rarity: Legendary

The stat profile tells a clear story. The 9.4 handling is the highest of any car in R class. The 10/10 braking matches the Zenvo TSR-S — another perfect braking car — but the Valkyrie pairs it with far superior handling. The 7.9 speed score is the lowest on this list of elite R-class machines, which means on a long straight the Valkyrie will be slower than the Jesko, the Zenvo, or the Lotus Evija. But on a technical circuit where braking zones and cornering speed determine lap time, no R-class car handles better.

The Valkyrie AMR Pro vs the Standard 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie

There are two Valkyrie variants in FH6, and it is important to understand what separates them:

• 2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie (road car) — R class, PI 925, RWD, semi-slick tires. Speed 9.2, Handling 8.8, Braking 10. The road car is faster in a straight line but handles less sharply than the AMR Pro.
• 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro (track car) — R class, PI 989, RWD, slick tires. Speed 7.9, Handling 9.4, Braking 10. Slower in top speed, but significantly better in handling and more capable on technical circuits where corners matter most.

The road Valkyrie is the faster choice for long highway events. The AMR Pro is the choice for any race where lap time and cornering grip are the deciding factors. At 4,200,000 CR the AMR Pro is the most expensive car in the Autoshow — but it is also the best-handling R-class machine available. For the road Valkyrie, see the Dexerto FH6 car page for its individual stats.

How to Get the Valkyrie AMR Pro in Forza Horizon 6

The 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro is available directly from the Autoshow. No Festival Playlist requirement, no timed unlock window, no special progression gate. You simply need 4,200,000 CR — the highest price tag of any car in the Autoshow at launch.

That price makes it one of the most significant Credit investments in the game. Before spending it, make sure you have explored the event types where the AMR Pro excels to confirm it fits your playstyle. If you are primarily racing on fast highway events rather than technical circuits, a different R-class car may serve you better for less.

Why the Valkyrie AMR Pro Has the Best Handling in R Class

A 9.4 handling score is not just a number. In FH6, handling determines how precisely the car responds to steering inputs, how much speed it can carry through a corner, and how stable it remains at the limit of grip. At 9.4, the Valkyrie AMR Pro is operating at a level no other R-class car matches on this stat.

The real-world engineering explains why. The AMR Pro was designed by Adrian Newey — the same engineer behind some of the most dominant Formula 1 cars in history. Its entire body is an aerodynamic instrument. The LMP1-style dual-element rear wing, the ground-effect floor, the carbon-carbon brakes, the Michelin race slicks, and a chassis weight of just 2,370 lb all combine to produce a car that corners faster than almost anything not running on an actual race track.

In FH6, that translates directly. The AMR Pro rewards drivers who brake late, carry corner speed, and use trail braking to rotate the car into the apex. Done well, it is the fastest way around any technical circuit in the game. Done poorly, its RWD setup will punish you. There is no AWD safety net here — it demands skilled, committed driving.

Multiple tier lists and editorial guides flag it as the best R-class car for handling, with the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro taking the top handling crown in R class consistently across community and editorial rankings.

Best Race Events for the Valkyrie AMR Pro

The AMR Pro’s stat profile — 9.4 handling, 10.0 braking, lower top speed — points clearly to the types of events where it will dominate:

• Technical road circuits — Any circuit with frequent direction changes, elevation changes, and hard braking zones is where the AMR Pro is at its absolute best. Its perfect braking and superior handling let you carry more corner speed than any other R-class car.
• Touge battle events — Tight mountain passes with hairpins and technical sections suit the AMR Pro’s handling-first profile well. Check our best cars for touge battles guide and our individual route guides for Bandai Azuma, Hakone Nanamagari, and Mt. Haruna.
• Seasonal and playlist R-class events — The AMR Pro is one of the strongest performers in Festival Playlist events capped at R class, particularly those with mixed technical and fast sections.
• Legend Island circuits — The game’s most demanding layouts are built for cars like this. See our guide to unlocking Legend Island for how to access these events.
• Horizon Arcade R-class challenges — See our Horizon Arcade guide for how to maximise your scores with an elite-handling car.

The AMR Pro is less suited to pure top-speed events and long highway runs where its 7.9 speed stat is a disadvantage against S2 hypercars tuned for drag. For those events, cars like the Koenigsegg Jesko are a better choice.

Valkyrie AMR Pro vs Other R-Class Cars

Here is where the AMR Pro sits relative to the other key R-class machines in FH6:

• vs Ferrari FXX-K Evo — The FXX-K Evo is the most balanced overall R-class pick with excellent speed, handling and braking. The AMR Pro beats it on handling (9.4 vs 9.4, both at the top) but trails on speed. For circuits, the difference comes down to the specific layout. See our Ferrari FXX-K Evo guide.
• vs Zenvo TSR-S — The Zenvo matches the 10/10 braking but has a higher 9.2 speed stat with lower handling. On tight circuits the AMR Pro’s superior handling edges it. On fast open roads the Zenvo’s speed advantage tells. See our Zenvo TSR-S guide.
• vs Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 — The Essenza specialises in high-speed downforce and cornering stability on fast circuits. The AMR Pro is more precise on technical tracks with frequent direction changes. Our Essenza SCV12 guide covers the full comparison.
• vs Lotus Evija — The Evija brings AWD electric torque and instant power delivery but lower handling precision. The AMR Pro is more capable in the corners but demands more from the driver in return. See our Lotus Evija guide.
• vs Mazda Furai — The Furai is lighter and more nimble on very tight roads but lacks the AMR Pro’s grip and braking capability. See our Mazda Furai guide.

Tuning Tips for the 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro

The AMR Pro arrives in excellent condition straight from the Autoshow — slick Michelin race tyres, carbon-carbon brakes, and an LMP1-derived aero package already in place. Your tuning should preserve those strengths and sharpen them for the specific circuit type:

• Brake balance — The F1-inspired carbon-carbon brakes are exceptional stock. A 50–52% front bias is a strong baseline for most circuits. The perfect 10/10 braking score means you have enormous stopping power to work with — use it to brake deeper into corners than any opponent car can match.
• Rear differential — As a pure RWD car, rear diff tuning is critical. The AMR Pro’s handling stat means it rotates cleanly into corners, so you need a differential setup that supports clean corner exits without snapping the rear out. Start with 50–55% acceleration lock and 15% deceleration. Adjust based on whether the rear feels stable or unstable on corner exit.
• Downforce — maintain it — The AMR Pro’s 9.4 handling score is partially a product of its LMP1-spec aero. Do not reduce rear downforce chasing top speed unless you are racing on a pure highway event. On technical circuits, the downforce is what keeps the handling score delivering what the number promises.
• Suspension — Keep ride height low on tarmac. The AMR Pro is designed to run close to the ground to maximise ground-effect airflow. A stiffer spring setup suits most circuit events. If the car feels nervous over bumps, soften bump damping slightly rather than raising the ride height.
• Final drive — The hybrid V12 has a wide power band. For most technical circuits, a final drive that keeps the engine in its peak power range through the highest-speed corners is the best approach. Do not over-shorten it — the AMR Pro needs to carry speed through long sweeping sections as well as through hairpins.

The Valkyrie AMR Pro and the Red Bull-Aston Martin Story

The Valkyrie project began as a collaboration between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing — specifically Adrian Newey, the aerodynamicist responsible for championship-winning Formula 1 cars across multiple constructors. Newey’s influence is visible in every part of the car’s design: the ground-effect underbody, the slim upper body shaped around aerodynamic efficiency, the low seating position, and the enormous mechanical grip numbers the car achieves.

The AMR Pro takes all of that further. It was Aston Martin’s attempt to field a car capable of competing with LMP1 prototypes in private ownership — a track car that brought Formula 1-grade engineering solutions to the collector world. In FH6’s Japan setting, driving this British-engineered LMP1 homage through circuits designed around the world’s most technically challenging mountain roads creates one of the most satisfying race experiences in the game.

For the best roads to experience the AMR Pro at its peak, our best roads and mountain passes guide and the full Japan map guide are both worth reading.

Is the Valkyrie AMR Pro Worth 4.2 Million CR?

Yes — if technical circuit racing is your primary focus in FH6. The AMR Pro is the single best-handling R-class car in the game. On circuits with proper braking zones, technical corners, and sustained high-speed sections, no other R-class machine can match its combination of 9.4 handling, perfect braking, and LMP1-spec grip.

At 4,200,000 CR it is the most expensive Autoshow purchase in the game, so it is not a casual buy. But for players who invest in R-class racing and want the car that rewards clean, technical driving over raw horsepower, the Valkyrie AMR Pro is the definitive answer.

Final Thoughts on the 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro

The 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro is the most technically refined car in Forza Horizon 6’s R class. Adrian Newey’s aerodynamic principles, Cosworth’s naturally-aspirated V12, Formula 1-grade carbon-carbon brakes, and 2,370 lb of weight create a package that delivers the highest handling score in the game’s top tier. This is not a car built for drag strips or top-speed traps. It is built for the lap record.

At 4.2 million Credits it is the most expensive Autoshow purchase you can make. Spend it on this car, put it on a technical circuit, and brake later than you think is possible. That is what it was designed to do — in real life, and in FH6’s Japan.
