WORLD's FIRST DRIVE in New Aston Martin VALOUR!

I'm in Germany for a dream drive in the brand new Aston Martin Valour! Join me with RFX Collection for an exclusive opportunity to get behind the wheel of the manual, limited edition, brutish-GT celebrating 110 years of Aston Martin. There's a lot to say about Valour, let's go!
Launched in 2023 to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the company that had been founded back in 1913, but now with the first customer cars making their way onto the roads, it's time to find out what it's actually like to drive - long live the V12! Equipped with a 5.2 litre twin turbo charged powerplant producing 715hp, all 110 cars are fitted with a 6 speed manual. After showing the one-off Victor, a One-77 based, retrostyled beast, customers came forwarded requesting a production version and that is now here.
You join me with RFX Collection in Germany, a privately owned collection of cars including some fantastic Aston Martins; the likes of a Valkyrie, Valour, V12 Speedster, and all 3 Works Continuation cars (DB4 GT, DB4 GT Zagato, and DB5 Goldfinger), and even two brand new DBS 770 Ultimates. We'll take a very quick look around the garage although will return in future for a more in depth tour, because there's a lot to see!
However, our focus is Valour, for a world's first drive to share what it is like. While a recent article by The Sun about the delivery of Gordon Ramsey's example quoted it as a £200K car, it is in fact significantly more valuable, special, and unique than they would have you believe!
A huge thanks to my friend's RFX Collection for this amazing opportunity to both drive the brand new Aston Martin Valour and also to be able to share this video with you too.

Valour, the son of Victor. Such a modern classic beauty...

[@jackfalls1722]

That's what I thought it was before I clicked on the video

@@jackfalls1722 Oh yeah, they do look very similar at first glance…

[@2wavyaxa139]

@@nvn737that’s the point

[@abdelhamidbc]

Victor was and still is the original Somehow the design was less compromised ( more pure, more one vision start to end, less follow up)

[@MotherTuckerofficial]

Victor looks so much better and more aggressive. Valour just isn't right in my eyes

[@jeremychurch5683]

This car is just drop dead beautiful. I really think Aston Martin has the most beautiful cars and best design language out of all the manufacturers, everything they're putting out is just beautiful!

[@AutoGroup786]

They're really one of the best, my personal favorite from them is the DBS Superleggera 😍

[@chiganuggoo9929]

Many thanks to the owner for inviting Tim to experience this and share with us. Incredible.

[@andrewsmart8520]

Surely then the owner had the first drive, or atleast certainly before Shmee. I read a while ago that Simon Cowell had one, so the title is not correct.

My word. That paint is INSANE

[@andy2950]

I haven't heard you sound so excited for a long time, Tim !!

[@AutoGroup786]

Tim I love the fact that you talk about the actual driving feel of the cars you review, super important. Stuff that a lot of auto KZbinrs miss. Steering feel, steering weight, suspension, braking feel, etc. All important stuff to mention, great job 👍

[@ryanhoffmann9341]

That rear 3/4 view is beyond sick!

[@jakkovaningen8350]

That Porsche 906 😮❤

[@brianhankinson1913]

Fantastic video Shmee. This felt very genuine on how greatful you were to be behind the wheel of that masterpiece. I am one of the biggest Aston Fanatics out there #loveAstonMartin! ❤

[@pip5461]

An incredible collection...

[@NijeBitno72]

Sounds like a vintage V12 😍

[@MEchanicAL_LSTAR]

Personally I prefer a car with the right amount of buttons and knobs. The one large flat screen that makes you take your eyes off the road to just adjust the temperature is the worst idea car companies came up with.

[@giorgosarifoglu953]

,it's a throwback to the old V8 Vantage...and it's brilliant.

[@darkstairs]

I have say, I do like how Tim is genuinely grateful for all the cars he get's to drive.

[@gavinsullivan9015]

I’d forgotten about these - that’s gone to the top of my “what car would you have if money was no object” list. Lovely…

[@Mike-vt7si]

Shout out to his ability to remember names and numbers :D

[@spywalkz1]

i was in London that night when the Aston martin Valour was there. it looked super amazing and took a few pictures as well.

[@mfundoh8148]

Being Shmee is so cool. You see a new car and know that at some point in the future, you're going to drive it or even buy it. Well deserved.

[@MrDNE007]

7:14 amazing how you remember all the different cars

[@narainmanickam6209]

The valour is honestly one of my favourite new cars period, I think it looks absolutely stunning and that paint is glorious!

[@Chalisque]

I'm liking that they're bringing back some of the feel of the 70s-80s V8.

[@user-cs2vp1ek6s]

I've been waiting for this moment so much, thanks Shmee, from Kazakhstan!

[@MikeT808]

Shmee outing Gordon Ramsey after he told his missus he ‘only’ paid £200k for his new car 😂😂😂. Nice one Tim. I think you owe Mr Ramsey a big apology 🙏

[@ozeskiman]

Smee knocks it out of the park again.. takes us into a wild collection before driving the wonderful Valour. Love the colour.

[@rsmith2320]

Love your videos on expensive car collections. Another great one.!

[@kennethluff4736]

Being an AM enthusiast couldn't have been a better video. Great review as always Tim. Thanks

[@RobColbert]

Wow. They nailed it with this. Great presentation, Shmee.

Love to see a manual Aston 👌

[@benlecluyse]

Inderdaad Robin ! ❤

Now the Valour is what a modern Aston SHOULD look like

[@kevinDG7]

Finally a aston martin collection. The V are the unique aston martins.

[@tonyroberts8910]

Hi Shmee This car is the absolute pinnacle of beauty and craftsmanship. Back in July 2023 I was privileged to see the black menacing looking prototype whist its test driver was taking it out for a run down and it was parked in the services whilst he grabbed a coffee. It simply talked to the camera on my mobile phone, so I have some great looking photos. The prototype was completely badge less, and had different wheels fitted to the car than those on the model you are driving, but still a treat to see.

[@6cmh3]

Man that E24 is beautiful! An absolute dream car

[@kdubb81]

Awesome video of an awesome unicorn car! This just made me love it more, the engine sounds amazing. I love that grunt.

[@Luisbec]

Thats so cool you drove through my home town!

[@DavidSmith-gh2hv]

That V12 sounds amazing and the cockpit looks beautiful and classy without going overboard with gadgets getting in the way.

[@kelvinblake]

I think one of the best looking cars out there. This is a true Aston classic. Thanks for sharing Tim.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Always Loved the Astons , brilliant video Tim. 👍

[@v8defiantone129]

Great review Tim takes me back to the early GT8 days ~ All about the smiles per mile 😉

Such a nice Mustang ❤

[@danielgrice9188]

I like the look of the front grill of the car.

[@Adrian-vh4my]

Wonderfully engaging review - and thanks to the owner. Looking forward to seeing and hearing more of the collection - hope there's an 8C in there :)

[@MrTimeless101]

The front reminds me of a fifth gen Ford Mustang but that's not a problem at all. The rear end and side profile is gorgeous, especially with that paint.

[@Gunshow86]

Fully Sick car. Perfect blend of old and new aesthetics.

When I saw the thumbnail I thought nothing special of it, but seeing it in the video... what a beautiful car. Damn.

[@richtaylor2129]

Looks great!!!

[@junkdna9093]

WHAT a Angry Shark , Turning now to the shark brain, what we see is that they are relatively similar, structurally, to the human brain (they don't look at all similar… but they have similar parts). Most importantly with regard to anger is that they do have an amygdala which coordinates their fight or flight response. RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT Valou A A A !!!! ? LOVED IT

[@furryrug5998]

really like the front end - old school meanness with round headlamps but not sure on the back end...

[@anjoLas]

Love the colour scheme!

What an awesome car 👌if money was no issue, my collection would include one of these for pure driving pleasure and a treat to myself to enjoy
