Aston Martin have announced that it is to produce an 'extreme' road-legal car, the Aston Martin Valiant, inspired by F1 star Fernando Alonso.
Aston Martin has announced that it is to produce an “extreme” road-legal version of its Valour sporstcar, dubbed the Aston Martin Valiant, personally commissioned by F1 legend Fernando Alonso .after joining the team ahead of the F1 2023 season, claiming a total of eight podium finishes across his first year at the Silverstone-based outfit.
“Valiant is born from my passion for driving at the limit and I have enjoyed working closely with the Q by Aston Martin team on both the design and technical specification and believe we have created a masterpiece.”Aston Martin announced the birth of the Aston Martin Valiant on June 26 2024, with the car originally commissioned by Alonso in collaboration with the manufacturer’s bespoke Q division.
Although it was only revealed after Alonso announced that he was leaving for Aston Martin, Alpine pressed on with plans to produce 32 versions of the car, the number chosen to reflect the amount of grand prix victories achieved by Alonso.The Aston Martin Valiant is described as “the most extreme front-engine road car ever built by Aston Martin” with “everything it knows learnt from the track.”
The tricks to reduce weight include the use of a 3D-printed rear subframe, which is claimed to shave off 3kg with no impact on stiffness, as well as a magnesium torque tube that removes 8.6kg from the centre of the car. The car is also fitted with state-of-the-art Multimatic dampers, which can adjust to any one of 32 settings in six milliseconds.
