Aston Martin Valiant:
Where Vintage Elegance Meets Modern Thrills
Aston Martin’s Valiant is more than just a car; it’s a testament to the seamless integration of vintage elegance with cutting-edge engineering. Imagine yourself gripping the wheel of a machine born from a legacy of high-octane performance and the rich heritage of classic race cars.
Valiant is the latest marvel from Q by Aston Martin, the brand’s bespoke division renowned for crafting unparalleled, custom-made automotive masterpieces. This ultra-exclusive, track-focused vehicle is a rare gem with only 38 units worldwide, each one a testament to pure driving pleasure.
Valiant's inception is a story of passion and precision. It began with a personal commission from none other than Fernando Alonso, the two-time Formula One® World Champion and driver for the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team. Inspired by his illustrious career and a desire for a car that embodies the raw spirit of racing, Alonso envisioned a more extreme, race-oriented version of the stunning Aston Martin Valour.
This vision became reality through the craftsmanship of Q by Aston Martin, blending the tradition of high-speed thrills with modern-day technology.
A Blend of Heritage and Innovation
Valiant’s design philosophy draws from the heart of Aston Martin's rich history while pushing the boundaries of contemporary automotive technology. This is a car that doesn't just turn heads; it commands attention.
Its 745PS Twin Turbo 5.2-litre V12 engine, paired with a six-speed manual transmission, ensures that every drive is a thrilling experience. From the legendary Valkyrie to the Vantage GT3, Valiant joins a lineage of cars that offer unparalleled driving intensity both on and off the track.
Fernando Alonso’s Endorsement
Fernando Alonso himself has praised the Valiant, saying, "Valour was a spectacular celebration of Aston Martin's 110th anniversary, which inspired me to create a more extreme, race car-inspired version that’s track-focused yet thrilling on the road. Valiant is born from my passion for driving at the limit, and I’ve enjoyed collaborating with the Q by Aston Martin team on its design and technical specifications."
The Art of Performance and Design
Valiant isn’t just about raw power; it’s about a meticulously crafted experience. Every element, from its aggressive aerodynamics to its luxurious, driver-centric interior, is designed to connect the driver intimately with the car. Lightweight carbon fibre bodywork, magnesium wheels, and a precision-engineered suspension system ensure that the Valiant is as agile as it is powerful. It’s a car that’s as much at home on a racetrack as it is on winding country roads.
Marco Mattiacci’s Vision
Marco Mattiacci, Global Chief Brand and Commercial Officer of Aston Martin, describes Valiant as "a modern masterpiece. Created by Q by Aston Martin, inspired by a racing legend, and conceived using the latest F1® technology, Valiant is a blend of performance, track-focused dynamics, and hypercar intensity. It epitomizes Aston Martin’s dedication to building rare and extraordinary cars for true drivers."
A New Era of Classic Elegance
Valiant is a celebration of Aston Martin’s dedication to excellence. It’s a car that bridges the gap between the classic and the contemporary, combining the brutal power of a bygone era with the sophistication of modern engineering. With its handcrafted details and state-of-the-art technology, Valiant isn’t just a car; it’s a statement of intent, a tribute to the art of driving, and a testament to the future of automotive design.
As the new pinnacle of Aston Martin’s limited edition specials, Valiant will make its debut at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed. With Fernando Alonso behind the wheel, this car promises to leave an indelible mark on the world of high-performance automobiles.
