This driver and his passenger reacted how we all would if we saw a $3.5 million hypercar pull up alongside us, screaming with excitement as they listened to its V12 engine.
Footage shared by YouTuber and automotive enthusiast Eric Choi shows him spotting one of the best hypercars of recent years while on a drive.
Ironically, he did this while he was actually driving a Bugatti himself, meaning there’s a lot of money in this video.
But when you see what car it was that he pulled up alongside, you really couldn’t blame him for being so excited.

This is the $3.5 million hypercar that got Eric Choi so excited
From the rear, the hypercar was almost instantly recognizable.
If you couldn’t tell what it was from that, then the side and front angles would easily give it away.
It was, of course, the Aston Martin Valkyrie, a hypercar that went through a long and sometimes troubled birth.
At a cost of around $3.5 million, and perhaps as high as $4 million, it is one of the most expensive performance cars ever made.
The squeals of excitement from inside the Bugatti are a clue as to how much they loved the Aston Martin.
With a huge V12 engine under the hood, the British hypercar made an incredible sound.
It is easy to see why it’s viewed as one of the most dramatic performance cars in recent years.
Yet it’s a car that has not had an easy upbringing.

This is why the Aston Martin Valkyrie is such a wild performance car
It is easy to see why Choi was so excited by the sight of the Valkyrie, which has also raced at Le Mans.
Not only is it expensive, but it is a very rare car too, with just 150 made in total.
It has the added honor of being designed in collaboration with Red Bull Racing and design legend Adrian Newey.
Sitting under the hood is a mighty 6.5-liter Aston Martin-Cosworth V12 engine that is boosted by a 160hp electric motor.
Combined with the V12, the Valkyrie makes an incredible 1,160hp and 664lb-ft of torque.
The 0-62mph time is a rapid 2.6 seconds, while the top speed is limited to 224mph.
Yet that doesn’t mean it’s not a wild ride, thanks to that screaming V12.
If only we could see one out in the wild, doing what it does best.
