ASTON MARTIN VALEN POWERTRAIN AND PERFORMANCE

The Aston Martin Valen uses a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 producing 861.79 Bhp and 1,000Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission. Aston Martin claims a 0-100kph time of 3.1 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 345kph. The gearbox software has also been remapped using technology from the Vantage GT4 racecar.

Lightweight materials including carbon fibre, aluminium, titanium and magnesium help make the Valen 110kg lighter than the Vanquish. The car also receives revised ESP, throttle, braking and steering calibration, along with stiffer suspension springs aimed at improving agility and reducing body movements.

SPORTY EXTERIOR AND LUXURY INTERIOR

The Valen takes a more aggressive approach to Aston Martin design. It features a functional bonnet vent, slim LED lighting, an angled front splitter and lightweight magnesium wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero R tyres. Its rear features a solid tailgate, aerodynamic Gurney flap and 3D-printed quad titanium exhausts. An exposed carbon-fibre exterior is also available through Aston Martin’s Q personalisation department.

Inside, the Valen gets a minimalist dashboard with a 10.25-inch digital driver display and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Buyers can choose between Sport Plus seats and carbon-fibre Performance seats. Other features include a 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system, 360-degree camera, digital inside rear-view mirror and wireless phone charging.

ONLY 150 UNITS TO BE BUILT

Aston Martin has priced the Valen at GBP 1.5 million, approximately ₹19.46 crore, before optional extras. With only 150 examples planned, the Valen combines extreme V12 performance, lightweight engineering and bespoke design in a highly exclusive GT package.
