Aston Martin is celebrating its 110th anniversary with quite a special car, the Valour. The Aston Martin Valour is inspired by the 1970s/1980s V8 Vantage and legendary ‘Muncher’ Le Mans racer and is powered by a V12 engine and a manual transmission.

The Valour is the only front-engined V12 sports car with a manual transmission. Under the hood there’s a twin-turbo V12 with 705 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque. That power is sent to the rear wheels via a mechanical limited-slip differential. If you are hoping for an automatic transmission, you’re out of luck here, since it will only be available with a six-speed manual.
Its adaptive suspension has been specially tuned for the Valour and stopping power is provided by carbon ceramic brakes with six-piston front calipers and four-piston rear calipers. The Valour rides on 21-inch wheels with 275-mm-wide front and 325-mm-wide rear unique Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires.
Inside there’s lots of carbon fiber with a choice of machined aluminum, titanium, carbon fiber or walnut for the shifter. The seats also can be wrapped in a woolen tweed inspired by the seat coverings of Aston Martin’s 1959 Le Mans-winning DBR1. On the outside buyers can customize the Valour with special livery and 21 paint colors. Four sections of the Valour can be painted in different colors: the front, hood, sides and rear.

Aston Martin hasn’t announced the pricing for the Valour, but only 110 units will be built, which probably means that it’s already sold out.
