The Aston Martin Valour is radical. It is extravagant. It is exclusive. And now, it is sold out. Aston Martin sold all the 110 units that they are set to build, reportedly rated at over $1.5 million, in two weeks after its official unveiling.
Two weeks. That is all it took for Aston Martin to sell all the Valour examples they are planning to build. Despite the insane price tag of over $1.5 million before options – that Aston Martin has never actually confirmed –, with some of the units even hitting the $2 million mark, the Valour sold like hot cakes.
What takes the model to $2 million is the level of customization depending on the buyer's preferences. Each new owner can customize their car through the company's Q bespoke service. The program comes up with one-off liveries, exposed carbon fiber body finish, and uncountable customization options on board.
Aston Martin debuted the supercar at the Goodwood Festival of Speed that took place in mid-August.
The exclusive model is a V12-powered, manual-shifting special edition, inspired by the Victor, the one-off road-legal, retro masterpiece that united the One-77, Vulcan, and Valkyrie tech and design. But the Valour also found inspiration in the original V8 Vantage and Aston Martin's 1970s RHAM/1 Le Mans prototype race car, known as "The Muncher."
The Valour is Aston Martin's manner of celebrating the firm's 110th anniversary – that is why they are building 110 examples – as well as a tribute to the 12-cylinder engine. A front-mounted twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V12 sets the Valour in motion. It delivers 705 horsepower (715 PS) and 555 lb-ft (753 Nm) of torque straight to the rear axle.
A tribute to the golden era of driving, the supercar comes with a specially designed six-speed manual and a mechanical limited-slip differential. It also received adjustable dampers and a new power steering setup for better feedback.
The supercar does 0 to 60 mph (97 kph) in just 3.4 seconds on its way to a top speed of 200 mph (322 kph). The driver can choose one of the three driving modes available on board: Sport, Sport+, and Track.
Carbon ceramic discs with six-piston calipers at the front and four-piston ones at the rear handle the braking. Valour runs on 21-inch alloys shod in Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires. Aston Martin retuned the chassis for additional stiffness.
The British carmaker promises they will be delivering the car that is already sold out, according to a spokesperson that confirmed the information for Motor1.com. Production will commence at Aston Martin's Garden Headquarters this fall, and the cars are set to reach their new owners in Q4. It is yet unknown how many of those will be imported into the United States.
