Aston Martin Valen Is a 150‑Unit, 850hp Front‑Engined Supercar

It signals SVO and Q integrating bespoke engineering into a collector‑focused, limited‑run model that pairs a retuned 5.2L V12 with extensive carbon, titanium and 3D‑printed components.

Overview

  • Unveiled at Monterey Car Week on Friday, August 14, 2026, the Valen is a coachbuilt V12 supercar limited to 150 examples with customer deliveries scheduled to begin in Q2 2027.
  • Aston Martin says the Valen’s 5.2‑litre twin‑turbo V12 is tuned to about 850 PS (≈838 hp) and 1,000 Nm of torque and is linked to a retuned ZF eight‑speed automatic using race‑derived shift strategies.
  • The car uses a full carbon‑fibre body plus aluminium, titanium and magnesium to cut roughly 110 kg from the base V12 platform with an optional lightweight pack saving a further ~16.9 kg.
  • A bespoke 3D‑printed titanium exhaust with valved lower outlets and always‑open upper outlets is designed to change the car’s acoustic character while bespoke calibrations cover steering, dampers, brakes and stability systems.
  • The Valen continues Aston’s line of limited V12 specials and reflects a strategy of bespoke, highly customisable halo cars aimed at collectors; price has not been disclosed but outlets expect a seven‑figure sum.
