Valen statt Vanquish: So veredelt Aston Martin seinen V12-Sportwagen
Wem der Vanquish nicht exklusiv genug ist, dem macht Aston Martin jetzt ein neues Angebot - und baut auf dieser Basis den Valen. Leichter, stärker, teurer - und vor allem seltener.
Aston Martin is crafting a limited edition Valen model, derived from the exclusive Vanquish, boasting a V12 engine. This sleek and almost futuristic coupé made its world debut at the Car Week in Monterey, California. According to the manufacturer, the Valen will hit the market in early 2027, with only 150 units being produced. The base for this creation is the V12 architecture, which also powers the Vanquish.
However, Aston Martin has reduced the weight of the coupé by employing a carbon fiber body and parts created through 3D printing, shedding over two kilograms. Simultaneously, they have boosted the performance of the 5.2-liter V12 engine, increasing its power output to 625 kW/850 PS, which Aston Martin claims makes the Valen the strongest front-motor series car worldwide.
The car reaches its top speed of 344 km/h, and it decelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.0 seconds, thanks to the electronic braking system. However, this exceptional performance comes at a steep price. While the Vanquish currently retails for around 400,000 Euros, the Valen will reportedly cost about 1.8 million Euros.
