Aston Martin showed the Valiant with a 745-horsepower V12 and limited to 38 units. Thanks to the efforts of the Aston Martin Q tuning studio, the ultra-exclusive and track-oriented version of the Valour was released, which, in turn, is built on the Vantage chassis. The Valiant, like the Valour, is equipped with a manual transmission and a V12 without any electrification, but is more powerful: here it produces 745 horsepower. In addition, the new coupe is more aggressive, lighter and more aerodynamic than usual.
The Valiant is powered by a 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12, which has been increased to 745 horsepower from the Valour‘s 715. Torque – 753 Nm. The engine is paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission that transmits power to the rear wheels.
The interior has also been changed: in particular, part of the gearbox mechanism has been exposed, carbon fiber parts have been added, and a steel frame has been added to allow four-point seat belts to be attached. Recaro Podium seats with a unique finish provide comfort. Here, too, they did not forget about reducing weight: a mesh is used in the door panels, and fabric hinges are used instead of handles. There are two main finishing materials to choose from – Alcantara or semi-aniline leather.
The idea to build an extreme version of Valour was submitted by Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso, Aston Martin claims. Probably, the track supercar was originally intended to be built in a single copy, but the circulation was increased to 38 units. Each one is valued at approximately $2.5 million and has already sold out. The live premiere will take place at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England, and deliveries to customers will begin in the fourth quarter of this year.
