Aston Martin is gearing up to release its most extreme road-going, track-focused weapon yet—the Valiant. Born from a personal commission by F1 driver Fernando Alonso, the ultra-exclusive special edition takes performance to staggering new heights.

Under the hood lurks a howling 745 horsepower twin-turbo V12 mated to a 6-speed manual transmission—a powertrain that thrusts drivers into the heat of competition. The bespoke chassis features Multimatic dampers and recalibrated electronics, elevating handling to F1 levels. Spectacular exposed carbon fiber bodywork generates intense downforce while shedding weight.

Drawing inspiration from Aston’s legendary ‘Muncher’ Le Mans racer, the Valiant’s styling screams speed. Aerodynamic enhancements like vortex generators and wheel discs slice through the air with surgical precision. The menacing rear diffuser and quad titanium exhaust announce the Valiant’s arrival with thunderous authority.

The spartan two-seat cockpit focuses solely on performance. A exposed carbon fiber interior and race-spec half-cage provide the ideal driver environment. The Alcantara steering wheel distills control down to its essence—a perfectly round rim devoid of distractions.

With production limited to just 38 units globally, the Valiant represents the pinnacle of Aston Martin’s bespoke capabilities. It stormed onto the scene recently, making its public debut at Goodwood piloted by none other than Fernando Alonso himself.

The Aston Martin Valiant starts around $2.5 million.
