The long version

Aston Martin screened Valkyrie buyers for driving intent rather than portfolio diversification, borrowing the vetting playbook McLaren used for the Senna, and the car's extreme packaging — a reclined seat, minimal luggage space, ride height too low for most driveways — makes it genuinely impractical for anything but a circuit or a closed road. That impracticality has, perversely, protected the ownership pattern: owners who complained about ground clearance on delivery day generally end up trailering the car to track days instead of leaving it parked. Values have already started climbing since deliveries wrapped.
