Aston Martin to take car dealer to court over Valkyrie hypercar payments

Aston Martin is set to take a Swiss car dealer to court over allegations that it withheld customer payments for its flagship £2.5 million Valkyrie hypercar.

The British car maker is lodging documents with the Swiss criminal prosecutor asking it to investigate the board members of Nebula Project AG and will also bring a civil action against the business.

Aston Martin teamed-up with Nebula Project as part of a bid to fund the Valkyrie back in 2016, long before Canadian Formula One team owner Lawrence Stroll took over the Gaydon-based operation, injecting cash to put it one a stronger financial footing.
