Aston Martin Valour: a great gift for the brand's 110th anniversary

Aston Martin celebrates its 110th anniversary this year. For this anniversary, the Gaydon brand is offering itself a very special series based on the Vantage, which cannot be reduced simply to a specific livery or more power. The essentials to know about this exciting new feature on Abcacteur.

Mechanical gearboxes no longer really have a future ahead of them. Indeed, they are now overtaken by faster and more comfortable robotic gearboxes, however some sports car manufacturers continue to offer them to ensure authentic driving pleasure at the expense of performance. A strong choice but which remains marginal, for example Aston Martin no longer offers an alternative with a manual gearbox in its regular range.

However, the British manufacturer wants to revive this disappearing pleasure on the occasion of its 110th anniversary. Indeed, the choice was made to release this Aston Martin Valor with a manual gearbox allowing you to play with the gear lever.

The manual gearbox is becoming rare but so is the engine of this Aston Martin Valor. Indeed, it uses one of the most noble architectures since under its long hood is a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 developing the very comfortable power of 715 horsepower and 753 Nm of torque. An endangered type of engine as well.

It should also be noted that this Aston Martin Valor has received particular care with regard to the settings of its chassis and its plastic, which we let you admire in the photo. We obviously notice the filiation through the front face, however the latter had chosen an atmospheric V12 engine. The price of this Aston Martin Valor in a limited series of only 110 copies is not yet specified, it could approach one million euros.
