Aston Martin Valour


I like both the Victor and the Valour. I'm assuming one of the key differences is that the Victor was based on the One-77, where as the Valour is based on a standard production model, which would perhaps make the Victor cooler. I prefer both to the Vulcan, but I still wish Aston had a car that was more akin to the old Vantage's, rather than everything looking like a DB model descendent.

The V8 Vantage is my all time favourite Aston, but it has to be one of the Series 4 or 5 models with fuel injection.

From the early DBS through to the Virage based Vantages there's been a number of good looking cars, though it can be quite specific to trim level.

This will forever be the proper Aston Martin look to me...

This will always be almost a perfect poster car for me, since despite having seen far rarer Astons in the past I don't think I've ever seen one in the flesh.

Being a Londoner?, what is left for the rest of us... I thought that without becoming "massive" for obvious reasons, it had become quite visible, it is my favorite Aston and I always felt it as a success in sales and everything the rest

This. I didn't quite gel with those V600's from memory.

the Victor was based on the Vulcan, which again is based on a heavily modified One-77 chassis (only the floor of the tub was left of the One-77)

According to Aston it was built from a prototype One-77

David King, Aston Martin’s head of special vehicles, explains how the Victor came about in the matter-of-fact way that only engineers can.

“We had a low mileage One-77 prototype that was in storage and we started to have some ideas to build something from it,” King says. “We couldn’t do another One-77, because we’d committed only ever to build 77, so we started looking at ideas with design and did some engineering feasibility studies, and the Victor is the result.”

 
Aston Martin Valour Is Already Sold Out!

The Valour has an estimated price between $1.5 million and $2 million in the United States.

The Aston Martin Valour debuted as a supercar with retro-tinged styling at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed. The company limited production to just 110 units for the whole world. Within two weeks of the premiere, the British brand found buyers for all of them, Autocar reported. The first deliveries will reportedly begin before the end of the year.

"Confirming the car has been sold out but cannot share the allocation numbers for the US. Price is estimated between $1.5-2 million USD," a US-based Aston Martin spokesperson told Motor1.com."


Continues in the link. But those were the main aspects. It's very bloody expensive.

But I am growing to like it quite alot. But the DB12 is my pick.
 
IMO it should’ve been a Barchetta/Speedster akin to the Porsche 991.2 Speedster, manual roof if needed but meant to be completely open top to add to the experience.

It's probably a watch this space situation, a Speedster might turn up after the first 110 are delivered, then they might do a shooting brake as well.
 
No this has to be it for the V12'S. The twin turbocharged ones.

The Aston Martin Speedster already exists. Last I saw it wasn't exactly flying off the shelves as it were.

That's because it's the least attractive Aston in the last 2 decades.
 
The Valour is a watered down Victor that AM wanted to generate profit from. Think cost of a V12 vantage and add on body work that is cost spread amongst 110 examples and you know its no where near the 1.5 million price. I'd say profit per Valour for AM is at about a million and x110 that's 110 million profit for AM... This is all fine but a big shaft for those owners who originally bought in to the v12 vantages who basically were denied manual tranny options... Thats why you see those cars not moving in the dealerships...

Is the Victor a customer car or is it owned by a customer?
 
The Victor is a one off commissioned by AM customer at 4-5 million pounds... So, must be pissed seeing a similar car like the Valour at 1.5....
