Aston Martin Valiant: The Pinnacle of Driving Excellence

Aston Martin introduces the Valiant, an exclusive, track-focused, road-legal special edition designed to embody pure driving passion. Created by Aston Martin’s bespoke division, Q by Aston Martin, the Valiant features a 745PS twin-turbo 5.2-litre V12 engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission. With only 38 units produced worldwide, each Valiant is already fully allocated.

Originally commissioned by Fernando Alonso, driver for the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team, the Valiant is inspired by Alonso’s 23-year F1® career and his quest for a more extreme version of the Aston Martin Valour. This limited-edition model showcases Aston Martin’s commitment to delivering exceptional driving experiences with cutting-edge technology and design.

The Valiant continues Aston Martin’s tradition of high-performance vehicles, sitting alongside the Valkyrie, Vantage, Vantage GT3, and the upcoming Valhalla. It combines the essence of classic V12 power with modern engineering, featuring advanced lightweight materials and a distinctive aerodynamic design.

Key performance features include a lightweight 3D-printed rear subframe, magnesium torque tube, and 21” magnesium wheels. The Valiant also incorporates Multimatic Adaptive Spool Valve (ASV) dampers for superior suspension control and agility.

The exterior design is defined by aggressive styling and aerodynamic efficiency, including a deep front splitter, carbon fibre grille, and distinctive aero discs. Inside, the two-seat cockpit focuses on driver engagement with a bespoke steering wheel, manual gear shift, and race-inspired Recaro Podium seats.

Marek Reichman, Aston Martin’s Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer, describes the Valiant as a bold expression of motorsport heritage and driving dynamics. The Valiant will be showcased at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed, with first deliveries expected in Q4 2024.
