Aston Martin Valiant is a road-legal race car built for an F1 legend

The Aston Martin Valiant is what happens when an F1 racer asks an automaker to build them a road car. Fernando Alonso turned to the Q division of Aston to develop a V12-powered machine with racing suspension, lightweight parts, and a manual gearbox. #Autotrader #AstonMartin #FernandoAlonso

Aston martin is killing it recently They're enjoying it 😂

[@Adatico1]

aston going mad lately, Valkyrie, Valhalla, a few others that I forgot, now this. I'm loving this.

[@mattmanley7118]

Holy cow what a car!!

[@Emadavid]

Mustang gtd got some real competition 😂

[@malcolmar]

AWESOME! A twin turbo charged V-12 with a 6 speed manual all wrapped up in an incredibly good looking exterior. This is the stuff of dreams and this is also how you keep winning! Thank you Aston Martin for listening to someone who actually loves cars and loves driving to help create this MASTERPIECE! I too would be surprised if all 37 were not already sold out. Well done Aston Martin. Well done.

[@TechOutAdam]

Literally a dream car. Best looking car I've ever seen.

[@FrankGallagherr]

That’s a good new mustang

[@emptymannull]

Really goes to show that the pony car "coupe" shape is timeless. The 1st Gen Camaro/Firebird and the Mustang all come to mind. This thing is a STUNNER! Basically a modern OEM Pro Touring muscle/pony car.

[@TheQuestionTheAnswer]

Have a look at the original Aston Vantage V8 - that’s where the bloodline for this comes from (which of course in itself was influenced by muscle car shapes)

[@TheHooniverse]

Good comment, notice the car in the video in the background when I’m talking?

[@emptymannull]

@@TheHooniverse I noticed. I have a Pro Touring 69 Firebird as one of my cars right now.

[@TheHooniverse]

@@emptymannull I have a friend looking to sell a 68 Bird with a Hotchkis setup. I’m trying to talk him out of it haha

[@jdub6909]

It's a Ford Mustang with a new front bumper.

[@Felix21411]

This car has class & Alonso is a legend. Superb.

[@richardike2342]

Aston Martin took the Victor, and modified it to get the Valour. Then put the Valour on steroids to get the Valiant. Sounds about right.

[@briankearn6991]

Volare next.

[@stanislasflipo7214]

The victor is definitely the best looking for me, but the valour and client are pretty good looking as well

[@dwizz4391]

What a lucky man. Beautiful car. Out of this world even.

[@ayandavellem938]

Looking forward to the Next one keep up and stay in the front

[@michaelmclean1863]

Lancia needs to sue them!!! 037 to the max

They’ll have a Volare soon!

Perfect.

[@ssamcobalt4956]

Wow!!! Manual too!!

[@PSA78]

I'm happy to say that I've been fortunate enough to have owned a Valiant, though that was a Plymouth... 😂

[@briankearn6991]

I’m waiting for Aston Martin Volare.

[@glenndrayton3641]

Proof that Valour is perfect.

[@Nemoticon]

The Valour is a poor copy of the Victor... look closely at the detail and you realise the Victor is better in every single way and should have been the car the Valour wanted to be.

[@grant9301]

Only 37 cars.... and it looks a lot like a Lancia 037

[@MichaelJohnsonAzgard]

Aston Martin have never made an ugly looking car...until now.

[@xolisasukwinimangali6325]

This car must be in a James Bond movie it's too sick 🥵🥵🥵😎

[@AndrewMalkin]

Needs wider front tires. It's probably going to understeer badly when at the limit

[@Jose344fg]

Lancia 037 restomod 😂

[@ALMX5DP]

Very cool car but the term road legal race car gets kinda overplayed.

[@TheHooniverse]

Normally I agree… but this is legit. Half cage, multimatic shocks, rear clamshell, and Alonso said make it so!

[@timmietz]

$2MM+ for sure

[@kaushikganesh6216]

It's an aston Martin MUSTANG !

[@seauryakumar]

You clearly don't remember the first V8 and the Vantage from the 70s.

[@automotiveaffairsshorts]

Mustang Shelby GT500 Track Pack

[@markpass4215]

Err Aston Martin DBS /V8 from the sixties

[@ethanb4ughan]

Based off the vantage from the 70s, try again 🤡

[@jastainriddhe3645]

The mustang is a poor man's Valiant 💪

[@ayandavellem938]

Viking parades something that Took Long British

[@kimkiho0720]

vs. Hyundai N74

[@sentiasatransformasi]

it looks so damn sexy

[@Eskimofo-le4sy]

If the 7th Gen Mustang, Supra Mark IV, and R35 GT-R were all mixed together in Great Britain this would be the end result. Not bad.

[@BigBratJ]

Looks like a Nissan.

[@DarkmanXXL]

I don’t know where the “Mustang” comments are coming from, but what I DO see is a glorified body kit for a Vantage as its roof and doors are CLEARLY based on that model🤷🏾‍♂️

[@grievuspwn4g3]

And the front and rear are from the old vantages

[@snozbaries7652]

looks like a mustang with a body kit

[@mochabear88]

thats alot

[@nickmills8476]

Clearly not a car designed to get out of steep driveways

[@scottanders5333]

Lmao! Best joke ever ! Looks like modded Ford Mustang.

[@victormelendez1074]

The wing is hideous. The rest is sick!

[@JC-vk6ii]

Yeah you can totally tell Ford owned Aston Martin back in the day

[@theprisonier]

The Valour was an unbelievable car. This one is as ugly as it can be. Sad.

[@tropicthndr]

Meh, looks like a Frankenstein weird freak that doesn’t know if it’s part Mustang, Camaro or what ever. Ferrari CEO’s coming over to straighten out these dummies at Aston was the best decision that could have ever happened. The new DB12, Vantage and Vanquish all look the part and are much classier than this goofy Valiant thing.

[@ship1826]

mustang and R35 GT-R copycat🤣🤣🤣

[@user-dh8zp7gn9h]

Aston "Valiant" it is version of a Hyundai N vision 74

[@grievuspwn4g3]

No it isn't

[@amiradeel2327]

Twin turbos 🤮

Bye bye retirement, bye bye everything idgaf 🤓

Such an embarrassment and exercise in poor taste!
