Gaydon, UK – Aston Martin proudly announces the Valiant, an ultra-exclusive, track-focused, road-legal special edition. This extraordinary vehicle, characterized by its rarity, presence, and potency, is the latest masterpiece from the in-house bespoke division, Q by Aston Martin. Powered by a 745PS Twin Turbo 5.2-litre V12 engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission, the Valiant exemplifies Aston Martin’s dedication to creating pure driver’s cars. Production is limited to just 38 units globally, all of which have been fully allocated.
The Valiant was originally conceived as a personal commission from Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team driver, Fernando Alonso, who envisioned a lightweight, more extreme, race car-inspired version of the spectacular Aston Martin Valour. Drawing inspiration from Alonso’s 23-year career in Formula 1® and his passion for pushing the limits, the Valiant was meticulously designed and crafted by Q by Aston Martin. This bespoke division excels in offering unique personalization services, producing special editions like Valiant and Valour, and enabling owners to create entirely individualized sports cars such as the Victor.
Continuing Aston Martin’s tradition of delivering true driving intensity both on-road and on-track, the Valiant joins the ranks of iconic models like the Valkyrie hypercar, the Vantage sports car, the Vantage GT3 race car, and the upcoming Valhalla mid-engine supercar. While the designs of Valour and Valiant are inspired by Aston Martin’s rich heritage, they firmly represent the brand’s modern performance future, offering class-leading power, driving dynamics, and cutting-edge technology to appeal to true driving enthusiasts.
Fernando Alonso remarked, “Valour was a spectacular celebration of Aston Martin’s 110th anniversary, which inspired me to create a more extreme, race car-inspired version that is track-focused while delivering a thrilling drive on-road. Valiant is born from my passion for driving at the limit, and I have enjoyed working closely with the Q by Aston Martin team on both the design and technical specifications. I believe we have created a masterpiece.”
Combining the brutal style and blistering performance of a bygone era of V12 dominance with contemporary engineering, lightweight materials, and spectacular design, the Valiant redefines the ultimate Aston Martin driver’s car. It thrives on the racetrack and excites on the road.
Marco Mattiacci, Global Chief Brand and Commercial Officer of Aston Martin, stated, “Valiant is a modern masterpiece. Created by Q by Aston Martin and inspired by a racing legend, it uses the latest F1®-inspired technology, exotic materials, and obsessive weight reduction. It focuses on providing a truly unique, intense, and emotional driving experience. The Valiant embodies Aston Martin’s commitment to building rare and extraordinary cars for true drivers.”
As the pinnacle of front-engined Aston Martin limited edition specials, the Valiant is designed to excel on the track while being fully homologated for road use. Its exotic specifications will delight purists and thrill the most demanding drivers. Featuring a twin-turbocharged 5.2-litre V12 engine that delivers 745PS and 753Nm of torque, and a six-speed manual transmission, the Valiant also includes standard Carbon Ceramic brakes (410mm x 38mm front and 360mm x 32mm rear) for immense, fade-free stopping power.
