The Aston Martin Valiant is the latest addition to the Aston Martin family, offering a more track-focused experience compared to its predecessor, the Valour. With input from Fernando Alonso himself, the Valiant boasts a lighter construction and an additional 20 horsepower, totaling 735 horses. This limited-edition model, with only 38 units available, has already been sold out, making it a rare sight outside of exclusive collections.
While the Valiant offers a more aggressive and sleek design, some enthusiasts may miss the ’70s-inspired front end that was a highlight of the Valour. The new grille design, although inspired by the V8 RHAM/1, deviates from the classic Aston Martin aesthetic. However, the overall design of the Valiant still captures the essence of Aston Martin’s signature style, with striking proportions and a distinctive rear diffuser.
Although most people won’t have the chance to experience the Valiant’s power on the track, its performance capabilities are sure to impress. The Multimatic dampers provide a more track-ready setup, enhancing the driving experience for those lucky enough to own one of these exclusive models. Even if you never get the chance to see a Valiant in person, you can still appreciate it as a work of art in automotive design.
As the Valiant makes its debut at Goodwood, car enthusiasts can admire its beauty and performance from afar. While the Valiant may not be as readily accessible as other Aston Martin models, its limited availability and unique design make it a coveted collector’s item. Whether you’re a fan of Aston Martin’s classic designs or looking for a more track-focused experience, the Valiant offers a blend of power, style, and exclusivity that sets it apart from the rest.
