Aston Martin has unveiled the Valour, an extraordinary and highly exclusive V12-powered special edition, in celebration of its 110th anniversary. This exceptional front-engined sports car pays homage to the brand's long-standing tradition of producing remarkable vehicles.
Designed for those who appreciate an engaging driving experience, the Valour is equipped with a manual transmission, making it a dream come true for purists and a thrilling tribute to a bygone era of driving excitement.
Drawing inspiration from Aston Martin's rich heritage, the Valour incorporates the latest technology, manufacturing techniques, and materials. It represents a harmonious blend of the quintessential qualities that define Aston Martin's finest front-engined models. The Valour seamlessly merges the best of Aston Martin's past and present.
Taking cues from the original V8 Vantage and the awe-inspiring Vantage-based RHAM/1 'Muncher' Le Mans racer of 1980, the Valour exudes the unbridled power that has become synonymous with Aston Martin's sports cars. It pays homage to iconic machines such as the V600 Vantage of the 1990s, a twin supercharged marvel that held the title of the world's most powerful production car at the time. The Valour's design and execution reflect the elegance and precision of the One-77 supercar, while its intense focus on the driver's experience draws a parallel to the exceptional one-off Victor.
Limited to a production run of only 110 cars worldwide, the Valour's rarity ensures its status as one of the most coveted Aston Martins among collectors. Its final-specification boasts an astonishing 715 bhp twin-turbocharged 5.2-litre V12 engine, mated to a bespoke six-speed manual transmission, guaranteeing an immersive and captivating driving experience.
