Aston Martin VALOUR

The cabin of the 2024 Aston Martin Valour is made from high-end materials. The woolen tweed seats are inspired by the 1959 Aston Martin DBR1. The gear lever can be had in titanium, carbon-fiber, machined aluminum, or walnut finishing. The shift mechanism is left exposed. The lightweight seats, air vents, door cards, transmission channel, and the upper part of the central console get carbon-fibre. The climate control system gets physical dials. The cabin of the 2024 Aston Martin Valour can be heavily customised with Mokume carbon-fibre for the seats or Johnsons of Elgin tweed and cashmere fabric. A leather loop replaces the traditional door handles.

The 2024 Aston Martin Valour has a dramatic wedge-like appearance in its carbon-fibre body. It doesn't appear immediately beautiful but has a lot more impact than its immediate predecessor, the DB12. The Valour's chiseled shape is inspired by a number of classic Aston Martin models like the 1970 V8 Vantage. The small, rounded headlights and the clamshell bonnet look similar to the Aston Martin Victor. The car gets all-around LED lights. The horse-shoe vent on the hood funnels air to the powerful engine. The distinguishable grille gets a central section with aluminium strakes. There are six light blades on each side at the back that recall the Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar. There's also a full-width aluminium accent. The bold diffuser, three centre-mounted stainless steel lightweight exhaust outlets, and the bold diffuser further enhance the look. The car runs on 21-inch lightweight forged wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires. 

The 2024 Aston Martin Valour is a coupe, and it'll be wrong to expect a spacious cabin. The two-seater cockpit is again designed to celebrate the company's heritage. The seats are nicely bolstered and keep occupants in place during high-speed maneuvers. Both seats come with superb padding and adjustable lumbar support. The flat-bottom multifunction steering wheel has been honed to remove undesirable feedback. With the electrically adjustable seats, it's easy to get into a perfect driving position. The 2024 Aston Martin Valour's suspension system has been reworked and it now comes with unique springs and anti-roll bars, besides the adaptive dampers. The fuel tank braces the rear suspension and that creates a better body balance. The cabin is noiseless, except while high-revving the motor. The ceramic disc brakes on all wheels and the Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires stop the car instantly.  

The 2024 Aston Martin Valour is equipped with a dual-turbocharged, 12-cylinder, 5.2-litre petrol engine that produces 715 PS/52 Nm. The motor is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox with a mechanical limited-slip differential. The car is designed to scorch the race track. Honestly, there are fewer roads that can bring out the best in this car. The Valour gets adjustable dampers and a new power steering setup that delivers better precision feedback via the wheels. Power delivery is instant, and the car sprints to action in no time.

The 2024 Aston Martin Valour comes with a number of driver-assist features and safety equipment. These include blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and automatic emergency braking, and multiple airbags. All equipment works harmoniously to offer the maximum possible occupant protection.

The 2024 Aston Martin Valour is the only car of its kind. It has no rivals. It's certainly not a daily commuting car. It's targeted at collectors and car enthusiasts who may take the car out on special occasions.
