Aston Martin has prepared another small-scale new product-Valour component with 715-blue Buyer bomotor V12 and 6-speed a manual transmission that sends all the power to the rear wheels through a self-locking differential.
Today, few people offer a V12 on the «mechanics», which draws additional attention to the Aston Martin Valor, which will be produced in an edition of 110 units in honor of the company's 110th anniversary this year. Valor is translated from English as «valor» or «courage». The novelty is based on the Aston Martin V12 Vantage coupe presented last year (also, by the way, limited, edition of 333 units), but the body is radically redrawn in the spirit of the 2020 Aston Martin Victor piece project, which in turn is a conversion of the One model 77 and rhymes stylistically with the British muscle car Aston Martin V8 Vantage, developed in the mid-70s — hence the round headlights and rather sharp edges. The new empennage is almost entirely made of carbon fiber, in addition, Valour received a couple of additional struts to increase body rigidity.
Compared to the original Aston Martin V12 Vantage, the 5.2-litre V12 petrol engine on the Valor model has been boosted from 700 to 715 hp. at a constant maximum torque of 753 Nm, and the ZF 8-speed «automatic» was replaced by a 6-speed «mechanics» with a massive gear lever, combined with a classic, mechanical self-block to give the driver a more natural, analog feeling from driving a huge power. But driving electronics, of course, are on board, there are three standard operating modes for it — Sport, Sport+ and Track.

Valor received a retuned chassis with adaptive dampers and powerful carbon-ceramic brakes: front discs — 410 mm (6-piston calipers), rear — 360 mm (4-piston calipers). Openwork 21-inch wheels are shod with Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires in sizes 275/35 R 21 at the front and 325/30 R 21 at the rear. The Valour's driving dynamics have not been released.

The interior architecture of the Valor is basically the same as the Aston Martin V12 Vantage, but here too many unique elements: redesigned door cards, instrument panel, air ducts and a central tunnel, the shape of which is optimized for working with manual gearboxes. There are several seating options and a huge range of materials to choose from.

The Aston Martin Valor has a floor price of at least £1m, a proprietary personalization program can raise price up to 1.5 million. Deliveries of ordered vehicles will begin in the fourth quarter of this year.
