Aston Martin Valour already sold out

Aston Martin Valour is a new car from the British manufacturer that arrived on the market two weeks ago with which the company celebrates its 110th birthday. It was produced in only 110 copies and all cars are already sold out.

Valour is powered by a 5.2L twin-turbo V12 engine with 705 hp (518 kW) and 555 lb-ft (753 Nm) of torque. It is the last Aston Martin model powered by a V12 engine. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission and a mechanical limited-slip differential. It is equipped with 410/360 mm (front/back) carbon-ceramic brakes, new suspension with adaptive shock absorbers and stabilizers.

Its carbon body is finished in green, and in Aston Martin’s Q department they have already prepared a palette of additional body colors and numerous optional elements for the body and in the cabin, and customers will have many options for personalization. It sits on unique 21-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport S5 tires.

Although the price is not known, it is believed to be between 1 and 1.5 million pounds. The price can be higher due to the wide range of accessories and personalization options. The first cars are expected to be delivered later this year, while the rest will be delivered during 2024.

Manhart MH3 400d based on the BMW M340d

The German tuner company Manhart is one of the best, if not the best, when it comes to BMW cars. Their latest work is the Manhart MH3 400d based on the BMW M340d.

MH3 400d is powered by a 3.0-Liter 6-cylinder biturbo diesel engine (B57) with 380 hp (279 kW) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque. This was achieved thanks to the MHtronik Powerbox. It is equipped with a new stainless steel exhaust system with valve control, 4 x 90 mm MANHART carbon tailpipes, tuned suspension, H&R lowering springs that reduce the height of the car by 40 mm. As a reminder, the standard BMW M340d has 340 hp (250 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Despite the fact that the percentage of new cars sold in Europe powered by turbodiesel engines has been decreasing over the last few years, it still cannot be said that the time of diesel engines has passed, which is the official position of the management structures of several German car companies.

The car is finished in black, which is standard for most Manhart cars, with one gray stripe running the entire length of the vehicle and two side gray stripes. It is equipped with M Performance carbon front spoiler, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, and Manhart decal set. It sits on Silk Matt Black Concave One 20″ wheels wrapped in 255/30 ZR20 front and 275/30 ZR20 rear Hankook tires.

Nichols Cars N1A based on the McLaren M1A

In 1963, McLaren introduced its mid-engined Group 7 sports prototype race car, the McLaren M1A. It was McLaren’s first self-designed and developed sports car, which has now received its road version, the Nichols Cars N1A, thanks to the Nichols Cars company.

This limited edition car will be produced in just 100 units, and the first 15 cars will be numbered to honor the 15 victories of the legendary McLaren MP4/4 F1 car. It was one of the most successful Formula One car designs of all time.

The car is extremely light, weighing only 900 kg, thanks to the use of light materials. For example, the chassis is made of carbon/aluminum. Part of the standard equipment is traction control, but ABS and power steering are optional. The design is inspired by the classic Can-Am racing car, but the car is wider and has a longer wheelbase. It is equipped with double wishbone suspension.

McLaren M1A is powered by a 7.0-liter V8 engine with 650 hp (478 kW), paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. It’s mounted on 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

When it comes to price, Nichols Cars has not announced how much this car will cost.
