Aston Martin Valour

In 1913, Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford founded a company that would be the predecessor of the British car manufacturer we now know as Aston Martin. Celebrating more than a century of existence, Aston Martin has introduced a new model, the Aston Martin Valour.

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.

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 will be the last Aston Martin model to be 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.

Only 110 examples will be produced, and production begins these days. The first deliveries to customers are planned for the fourth quarter. Performance data have not yet been published, and the Valour without options from the Q department costs more than 975,000 euros.

Aston Martin DB12 sold for $1.6 million

Aston Martin recently unveiled the car that changed the game, the Aston Martin DB12. This powerful flagship GT car from the iconic British brand has reached its first customer, and the first example was sold at a charity auction for $1.6 million.

The charity auction was held in Cannes, France, and many celebrities attended. The car was presented on stage by Eva Longoria and James Marsden, and other celebrities such as models Sara Sampaio, Bianca Balti, Heidi Klum, Stella Maxwell and Alessandra Ambrosio were also present. The funds will be donated to the AIDS Research Foundation.

The owner will receive his own Aston Martin DB12 signed by F1 drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll. Their signatures will adorn the hood under which will be a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine with 680 hp (500 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to push the car to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h).

The car has a slightly more muscular appearance compared to its predecessor, and this is primarily due to the new front fascia, but also the fact that it is slightly wider. Inside, the center console is slightly taller with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and the finest high-quality leather is used.

According to company announcements, production of the DB12 will begin at the end of the year, and the price is still unknown.
