Why it matters
Aston Martin describes the Valen as the most powerful front-engined V12 in its history and as limited to 150 cars worldwide. It pairs a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 with a full carbon-fibre body, and the company says weight is up to 110 kg below its standard V12 platform.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionlimited (planned) | 1501,2 | Factory production | Factory reported |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
The factory page presents the Valen as a limited-run V12 coupe built around the company's 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 and eight-speed ZF automatic, retuned for sharper throttle response and faster shifts, with software work drawn from the Vantage GT4 race car. The page was published while the car was still in homologation: WLTP emissions figures were listed as undergoing homologation, and the 0-62 mph time and unladen mass were shown as to be confirmed.
