A few days ago, Aston Martin presented a track-focused road car that is legal for road driving, the Aston Martin Valiant. Only 38 units will be produced and it will make its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which will take place on July 11-14, 2024.

Design-wise, the Valiant looks much more aggressive than the Valour that was introduced in 2023 for the company’s 110th birthday. It is equipped with a number of new carbon details such as a new splitter, a wing near the front wheels, a new full-length front grille, new mudguards, sills inspired by Formula 1, a fixed rear wing and a new carbon diffuser. The interior also features plenty of carbon details while the central tunnel allows a view of the gearbox components. There are also Recaro Podium seats and four-point seat belts, and there is a three-spoke steering wheel in front of the driver.

Aston Martin has also worked a lot on the handling and driving characteristics of the Valiant, so all examples will be equipped with Multimatic Adaptive Spool Valve dampers, which make adjustments in less than 6 milliseconds, recalibrated Sport, Sport+ and Track driving modes, carbon ceramic discs as standard, and massive 410 mm front and 360 mm rear discs. It is mounted on 21″ magnesium rims, which are 14 kilograms lighter.

When it comes to the powertrain, under the bonnet is a 5.2-L V12 engine with 745 hp (556 kW) and 555 lb-ft (753 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. It should be noted that the Valiant is 30 hp more powerful than the Aston Martin Valour.
