The Aston Martin Valiant is the most extreme front-engine car to leave the factory in Aston Martin’s history, powered by a 734 bhp twin-turbocharged V12 sending power to the road through a bespoke 6-speed manual gearbox.

As with the other models in the V-bomber line-up, the Vulcan and Victor, the existence of Valiant is owed to a bespoke customer commission. However, in this case you might recognise the person's name, a certain Mr Fernando Alonso. As with the fellow models in its lineage, the Valiant is strictly limited. If you wanted one of the 38 cars being built, they have all already been spoken for.

Unlike its brother, the Valour, Valiant has a much deeper focus to ensure that on track performance is where the Valiant will come to life. Aston Martin has decided to do this through the use of some rather clever engineering. One example of this is the decision to 3D-print the rear subframe which manages to shave 3 kg from the car.
