Aston Martin's Valen Sheds 243 Pounds, Boasts Most Powerful V12
Aston Martin's Q division has unveiled the Valen, a supercar with a limited production run that boasts the most potent front-engined V12 to date. Following the Valour, Valiant, and DBR22, the Valen marks the inaugural project from the Special Vehicle Operations team. Equipped with a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, it produces 850PS and 1000Nm of torque, accelerating from 0 to 60mph in just 3.0 seconds and reaching a maximum speed of 214mph. A weight reduction of 110kg was achieved through the use of carbon fibre, aluminium, titanium, and magnesium. The car features a satin Andromeda Red exterior and a 3D-printed console inside. Only 150 units will be produced, with deliveries commencing in Q2 2027.
