The Aston Martin Valour with its incredible V12 will be presented at Pebble Beach

Aston Martin has just celebrated no less than 110 years of history, and to mark the occasion, the iconic British luxury brand has unveiled its latest jewel on the stage of Pebble Beach. The elite car manufacturer has taken a majestic step towards Monterey Car Week, a globally renowned event that promises to be unforgettable.

In this emblematic year of its history, Aston Martin has surpassed expectations, beginning by revealing the brand’s exciting future through the DB12 and the exclusive Valour. These cars represent the very essence of Aston Martin: a sublime fusion of power, beauty and intense emotions in every turn and every metre of road.

The greatest impact at the event will be seen in the presentation in North America of the Aston Martin Valour, a true masterpiece that is presented as a front-engined V12 sports car and embodies the art of personalisation through the Q by Aston Martin service. This vehicle, which symbolises the culmination of pure, visceral driving, represents a milestone in the history of Aston Martin.

The power of the DBX707 cannot be underestimated, an SUV into which Aston Martin has channelled its technical genius in this creation, achieving a perfect combination of spectacular performance, unmistakable design and supreme luxury. It is an SUV with the soul of a sports car, a unique experience for those who seek the extraordinary.

Then there is the Aston Martin Club 1913, an exclusive corner on the stage of the Pebble Beach Golf Links, which will showcase the brand’s avant-garde vision with an innovative virtual reality experience. Among the highlights is the 3D presentation of the astonishing Valhalla, the hybrid supercar that sets the pulse of speed enthusiasts racing. A setting where reality and virtuality merge to offer an unparalleled immersion into the Aston Martin universe.

Valhalla VR Experience

The main course of this sensory experience is the Aston Martin Valhalla VR Experience. A futuristic fusion of technology and automotive passion, this experience takes Valhalla owners on an immersive journey that pushes the limits of what is possible. Thanks to the cutting-edge technology of Nvidia and the magic of virtual reality, customers can configure their Valhalla in a virtual environment, exploring the interior and exterior in exquisite detail before touching reality with their hands.

Renato Bisignani, Global Marketing and Communications Director of Aston Martin, expressed his enthusiasm: “Through an immersive virtual reality experience, we will virtually take our customers inside the cabin of the Valhalla.”

Aston Martin Valour

Beneath the bonnet of this automotive marvel beats a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, whose mechanical fury unleashes an astonishing output of 715 CV and 753 Nm of torque. But this is no ordinary engine; it is an engine designed exclusively for the Aston Martin Valour. Excitement takes the wheel with the Valour’s three driving modes: Sport, Sport+ and Track. Each is a rung on the ladder of excitement, with no room for compromises in comfort.

The suspensions of this asphalt titan are more than simple engineering; they are a functional work of art. Adaptive dampers, springs designed exclusively and anti-roll bars unique to the Valour create a symphony of control and agility in every corner.

No less impressive are the carbon-ceramic brakes, consisting of front discs measuring 410 mm x 38 mm and 6-piston calipers that redefine stopping power. The rear is no less capable, featuring discs measuring 360 mm x 32 mm, accompanied by 4-piston calipers. An orchestra of force and control in every touch of the pedal.

The magic of the Valour will take shape on the production lines at Gaydon in the third quarter of 2023, with deliveries arriving in the fourth quarter of the same year. The price, like a final brushstroke on this canvas of excellence, remains a mystery. But looking at Aston Martin’s past and the success of the V12 Speedster, which reached €850,000, together with its production run limited to 88 units, a reasonable estimate for the Valour can be expected: likely no more than €600,000.
