The New Galpin Aston Martin
The New Galpin Aston Martin
Harking back and howling forward. The most extreme front-engine road car ever built by Aston Martin. Road legal, but everything it knows is learnt from the track. A 5.2-litre, twin-turbocharged V12. With a manual transmission. Exposed gear linkages. Magnesium wheels. Carbon-fibre aero covers. Quad titanium exhaust. Half cage. Race-bred dampers. And motorsport-grade lightweighting.
Twinning the fearlessness of 70s race cars with the technology and materials of today’s pit lane. Originating from a personal commission from Fernando Alonso to build a car that is a monument to the thrill of driving. Without a single flinch of moderation. This is vice in the form of a V12.

Exterior
Unmercifully unsubtle from its ferocious front splitter and 70s inspired rear wing, to its magnesium wheels and aggressive carbon fibre body. Each line and angle of aero adding downforce to the most momentous of aesthetic statements.
Stripped back racing wheel
The steering wheel is stripped of all unnecessary additions. A design and finish unique to Valiant. No buttons, no controls or levers. Freeing the driver to focus their eyes on the road and hands on the stick. Wrapped in Alcantara®. Set around a centre of machined aluminium spokes. Bound in semi aniline leather, protected by pigment which dyes the material to guard the integrity of the grain. Embellished only with a trim of metal at the 12 o’clock mark. Allowing the driver to gauge their orientation without deviating their vision from the road.
A 5.2-litre, twin-turbocharged V12 engine
Discharging 745PS and 753Nm of torque. Turning the slightly intimidating up to outright menacing. Compressing the air before it enters its twelve cylinders. Punching you in the back with low-end torque. Deployed to the rear wheels by way of a torque tube made of magnesium to reduce mass by 9.5kg, and a mechanical limited slip differential maximising the driver’s ability to exploit the chassis. With a lightweight lithium-ion battery firing the engine and saving 12.5kg.
