This track-focused yet road-legal machine showcases Aston Martin's pinnacle of engineering and bespoke craftsmanship through its 734-horsepower V12 engine, six-speed manual transmission, and full carbon fiber construction. The Canadian example features a distinctive Golden Saffron finish, custom Q Commission badging, and Alonso's signature on the console. Due to these detail-oriented features and the ultra-luxe build, the Aston Martin Valiant stands as a unique collector's item that blends motorsport pedigree with luxury coachbuilding.
