"When talking about luxury cars, there's rare - and then there's "only 38 of these were ever made" rare. The Aston Martin Valiant falls into the latter category. As Brett Berk reported at Car and Driver in 2024, the Valiant was commissioned by veteran Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso, who drives for Aston Martin. Take the Aston Martin Valour and reimagine it in a more competitive, racing-centric manner and you'll have a general idea of what to expect.The Valiant was made in very limited quantities, even compared with the limited-edition nature of the Valour. (As Autoblog's Pablo Salapantan pointed out, only 110 of the latter were made.) In other words, any of the 38 Valiants coming to market is a newsworthy event in and of itself. Wouldn't you know it, one of them is currently for sale via U.K. marketplace PistonHeads. Thus far, just 500 miles are on the odometer for this particular model."
"What else does this Valiant have going for it? Well, it's very red. Crimson Red Metallic is the color of the exterior, to be specific, with a red leather interior. The engine is a twin turbocharged V12, paired to a six-speed manual transmission. Add ceramic brakes, a motorsport-derived titanium exhaust system and carbon fiber bodywork and you have an impressively sleek high-performance vehicle."
Only 38 Aston Martin Valiants were produced in an extremely limited run commissioned by Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso. The Valiant is a racing-focused reinterpretation of the Valour with increased power and reduced weight. One example with just 500 miles is listed for sale on a U.K. marketplace. The car is finished in Crimson Red Metallic with a red leather interior. Mechanical features include a twin-turbocharged V12, six-speed manual transmission, ceramic brakes, a motorsport-derived titanium exhaust, and carbon-fiber bodywork. The listed price for this specific Valiant is £2,595,000.
