Aston Martin has unveiled a revolutionary new car, the Valiant. A harmonious blend of muscle and supercar that breaks new ground for the iconic British marque. Described as the “most extreme front-engine road car ever built by Aston Martin.” The Valiant is a dynamic and audacious machine, engineered to deliver an unparalleled driving experience. This road-legal beast is the brainchild of F1 legend Fernando Alonso. Whose personal commission inspired its creation. With such a legendary figure behind it, the Valiant is destined to become a modern automotive legend.

Unleashing the Beast

Under the hood, the Valiant boasts a monstrous 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 engine. A testament to Aston Martin’s commitment to performance and power. Generating an astonishing 745 PS and 753 Nm of torque, this power propels the Valiant with breathtaking force. Its manual transmission is designed for true driving enthusiasts. Thus ensuring an engaging and visceral connection between the driver and the machine. Complemented by a quad titanium exhaust, race-bred dampers, and motorsport-grade lightweight materials, the Valiant is engineered to dominate both the road and the track.

A Nod to the Past with Eyes on the Future

The Valiant’s design pays homage to the 70s race cars, evoking a sense of nostalgia while incorporating cutting-edge technology. Strong lines, a momentous geometric rear spoiler, and a large front grille with a splitter give the car an aggressive, muscle car aesthetic. Retro stripe lighting adds a touch of cinematic flair, reminiscent of a car from a “Back to the Future” movie. This blend of retro charm and modern innovation makes the Valiant a visual masterpiece.

Fernando Alonso’s Touch

Fernando Alonso‘s influence on the Valiant is evident in every detail. The two-time F1 world champion, who has participated in an impressive 390 grand prix races, winning 32 and podiuming 106. Thus brings an unparalleled passion for driving to this project. Alonso describes the Valiant as “born from my passion for driving to the limit,” a sentiment reflected in the car’s track-focused engineering and driver-centric design. The exposed manual gear shift, racing-fitted seats, and flawless combination of lightweight racing materials and impeccable design make the Valiant a true driver’s car.

Exclusivity and Iconic Design

The Valiant will be available exclusively in bronze, with a dynamic black trim that enhances its bold design. This special range vehicle will have a low production run of just 38 units, making it a highly coveted collector’s item. Each car embodies the spirit of Fernando Alonso and the rich heritage of Aston Martin, offering a unique blend of performance, design, and exclusivity.

Valiant vs. Valour

The Valiant, modeled after the newly released Valour, which celebrates Aston Martin’s 110th anniversary. Takes the concept further with a more track-focused approach as per Alonso’s request. Both cars draw inspiration from the retro muscle cars of the 70s. Offering a modern twist and a manual transmission that puts ultimate control in the driver’s hands.
