However, the information about the weight could be wrong. Newly always said keeping the weight below a 1000kg, but the times are stating dry weight at a 1000kg(then again, even some car sites get weight wrong).

Now, the only thing to figure out is if the 1:1 power scale was for the engineering only, or the whole drivetrain.
Aston Martin AM-RB 001 engine details revealed - Autocar India
Edit: Hopefully the power-to-weight ratio is just the engine alone, and not the entire drivetrain with electric motors, like Newey originally said. If so, then this guy is going to be under a 1000kg.
More details of the AM-RB 001‘s technical specification will be revealed in due course, but its heart is a new, mid-mounted, high-revving, naturally aspirated V12 engine with the potency to achieve a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio; 1 bhp per kilo of weight.

Some people have sat it in. A guy on the McLaren forum ordered one and has been inside it. He mentioned the seating position, but nothing of an actual interior. I imagine it does have an interior that people have seen, but just not shown yet. The car isn't that far away, so unlikely they don't have some sort of interior design yet.

A road car that laps faster than an F1 car? We are through the looking glass, people

Grant:A road car that laps faster than an F1 car? We are through the looking glass, people
"A 2016 race trimmed F1 car, the [Valkyrie] in its track trim will be faster," Reichman said. "Then you can take the track trim stuff off and drive home."
That implies a target time of 1m35s which was the fastest lap in the 2016 British Grand Prix set by reigning world champion Nico Rosberg.
In order to achieve the time Valkyrie owners will need to make some key changes to the car to put it into "track trim" that Reichman referred to. Track trim will include different tyres, most likely slick racing-style rubber, and a different bonnet that is designed to lock down the aerodynamics but it is too extreme for the road.
The designer explained the different bonnet is in part because of pedestrian safety regulations but the car will still be quick with its regular bonnet in place.

Not a fan of the rear but the interior is stunning...and simplistic at the same time.
