Overview

Built to celebrate Aston Martin’s 110th anniversary in 2023, the Valour is exactly 110 units — each hand-built at Gaydon with a unique specification and a feature that has never appeared in this combination before: a 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V-12 paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox.

Based on the DBS platform, the Valour produces 715 hp while demanding full driver engagement through a proper clutch pedal and gear lever. The exterior draws inspiration from classic Aston Martin racing heritage with NACA ducts, front fender louvres, and a classic long-bonnet GT silhouette finished with contemporary aerodynamic elements.

The Valour is primarily a collector and enthusiast vehicle. In Azerbaijan, an example would represent one of the most exclusive Aston Martins ever to enter the country. Appreciating values are widely expected given the combination of limited production, unique specification, and anniversary significance.

Should You Buy an Aston Martin Valour?

The Valour is for the passionate Aston Martin collector who values rarity, heritage, and the pure analogue experience of a V-12 with a manual gearbox. If you missed the allocation at launch, secondary-market examples command a significant premium and are likely to appreciate further.

For a new-car Aston Martin purchase, the DB12 or Vantage offer more modern technology and better everyday usability. The Valour is a once-in-a-generation celebration car that transcends those practical considerations.
