Aston Martin – Valen: See it on our 2026 Concept Lawn
August 15, 2026
The most powerful front-engine V12 in Aston Martin’s 113-year history, and the next icon in the lineage of Aston Martin Specials.
For over 100 years, Aston Martin has produced some of the world’s rarest cars, each one laying the groundwork for this future-defining model. Valen is the result of a century of commitment to pushing boundaries in performance, design, and sound to create one of the most visually striking and dynamically capable cars the brand has ever produced.
Valen’s 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged engine delivers 850 PS through a bespoke 8-speed ZF automatic transmission, with shift speeds tuned to help deliver track-level aggression, building on the race-proven shift strategy of the successful Vantage GT4 race car.
Exceptional dynamic performance is accentuated by the colossal sound of Valen’s 12-cylinder heart, ensuring one of the purest and most exhilarating driving experiences imaginable.
One glimpse of Valen lets you know you’re in audacious company, defined by design cues you rarely see in current front-mid engine sports cars. The iconic “S-curve” hood line and grille transition, a hallmark of Aston Martin’s design language, gives way to something sharper, a deliberate evolution into new territory, where at the rear, the dominant diffuser and 3D-printed quad titanium exhausts stacked in a 2-up, 2-down arrangement are unique. Beneath Valen’s fierce exterior form lies a full carbon-fiber body, a core element of the lightweighting strategy applied to ensure Valen’s agility matches its potency.
