Forever Fearless
Overview
Be afraid. Not of what’s to come. But what we might lose.
Valour is here. Extremely limited to only 110 examples to celebrate Aston Martin's 110 year legacy. Designed to bring back the intimate bond between driver and machine and revive the forgotten feelings of the road. Valour pays homage to the golden era of driving when cars were seductive, wild and beautiful. With every gear shift, it challenges and exhilarates, bringing back this white knuckled, open hearted, adrenaline-filled thrill that we live and drive for. Now and forever.
Performance
An insatiable force of power
With the iconic 5.2-litre V12 twin-turbocharged engine producing 715PS and 753Nm of torque, furious power can truly be felt with the heart. Valour achieves a virtually flat torque curve in second gear, maintaining a flat profile from as low as 1,800rpm all the way up to the exhilarating maximum of 7,000rpm. With no artificial torque manipulation in place, the driver's skill and connection are pivotal in administering the ideal dose of power for any moment. To unleash the spirit of the halcyon days of driving, Valour is equipped with a mechanical limited slip differential for maximum driver engagement.
Provoking You with Every Shift
The pairing of the 6-speed manual gearbox with the 5.2-litre V12 twin-turbocharged engine creates an intimately powerful connection between the driver and Valour. Its exposed gear shift mechanism offers a captivating glimpse into its very essence, drawing the driver into the soul of the car from the comfort of the cabin.
Dance on the Edge with Every Twist and Turn
Valour boasts Aston Martin's most rigid body to date, thanks to its full carbon fibre panels and lightweight bonded aluminium structure. The suspension has been meticulously fine-tuned to deliver the most granular and detailed information about the interaction of the car and road surface. With adaptive dampers, springs, and anti-roll bars. This combination not only enhances strength but also ensures predictability in the suspension. The ultimate outcome is an optimal connection between the driver and the road, allowing for maximum engagement and an unrivalled driving experience.
Unleash Ferocious Performance
Valour stands as the latest addition to Aston Martin's collection of awe-inspiring front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports cars. Within its core lies a 5.2-litre V12 twin-turbocharged engine, meticulously crafted by hand. Valour's sound is naturally epic, devoid of any artificial enhancement, allowing for a thrilling and seamless ascent through the rev range in its purest essence. With its triple exhaust system, Valour ensures an exuberant driving experience that resonates throughout every part of the body, creating an indelible connection between driver and machine.
Dare to Feel it All
There wasn't a tyre in existence that could handle the intuitive demands of Valour. A bespoke Aston Martin compound has been developed in collaboration with Michelin to ensure the highest levels of grip, feel and response from the new Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tyre. The Dual Sport hybrid compound increases dry road grip, while functional elastomers and silica give excellent wet grip and braking performance.
Exterior
Retro futurism at its finest
Valour draws inspiration from the timeless aesthetics of iconic race and road cars from the 1970s, seamlessly blending the DNA of the V8 Vantage with a cutting-edge full carbon body that embodies the spirit of tomorrow.
Valour’s carbon fibre diffuser commands attention, seamlessly woven to optimise aerodynamics in perfect harmony with the front splitter. Aston Martin's first-ever lightweight centre-mounted triple tailpipe exhaust system provides an unforgettable character and a soul-stirring sound.
Valour exudes elegance through its carefully-curated details, such as the 12 LED light blades and a solid aluminium panel that emphasise its width. The rear screen panel stands as a symbol of sophistication, featuring 70s-inspired carbon fibre vortex-generating exoblades integrated with a rear view camera.
21” honeycomb alloy wheels are forged with precision, while the adoption of carbon ceramic brakes reduces unsprung weight by 23kg, enhancing suspension control and maximising grip. This results in a mesmerising dance of dynamic engagement.
The front discs boast an impressive diameter of 410mm and are firmly gripped by 6-piston callipers, customisable to your desired colour.
With its classic-inspired LED headlights and iconic grille, Valour exudes intimidation. The front splitter enhances stability at high speeds and gives the car its wide and low stance for a commanding road presence.
The exquisitely sculpted clamshell bonnet exhibits a captivating design, adorned with a distinctive 'horse shoe' vent and twin NACA ducts. This combination not only lends an effortlessly beautiful appearance, but also ensures essential cooling for its formidable 5.2-litre V12 engine.
Every Detail is Intimidatingly Beautiful
The elegant design is highlighted by the striking Kamm-tail, adding a touch of wild and fierce sophistication while generating substantial rear downforce for optimal stability.
Designed to Balance
The sculpted front fender adorned with carbon fibre veins not only enhance the car's width and dominance but also facilitate the release of air pressure within the wheel arch, optimising aerodynamic balance.
Interior
Timeless meets contemporary
The heart of Valour's interior features a meticulously crafted manual transmission gear lever, seamlessly blending contemporary materials like lightweight mokume carbon fibre, leather grab handles, and exposed billet aluminium. Paying homage to the 1959 Le Mans challenger, Valour also incorporates DBR1 tweed, infusing the interior design with a timeless elegance.
A Beautiful World of Carbon Fibre
Lightweight carbon fibre is dominant throughout the cabin. From the carefully-crafted bespoke door cards to the upper centre console and transmission tunnel, and the fascia air vents and performance seats, the material is exquisitely beautiful.
The Art of Personalisation
Valour provides personalised excellence through the esteemed 'Q by Aston Martin' service. Drivers can explore bespoke possibilities with individually commissioned specifications, including captivating colours, tweed fabrics, cashmere, tinted carbon fibre, and hand-stitched leather. It offers a tailored experience reflecting each driver's unique taste and style.
