Why it matters
Valour is an extremely limited Aston Martin made to mark 110 years of the company, and the factory says it is the first time Aston Martin has combined a 5.2-litre V12 with a manual gearbox. Only 110 examples are being created, each individually specified.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Aston Martin presented Valour as a tribute to its 1970s race cars, with a front-engined, rear-wheel-drive layout, a Kamm tail and a full carbon-fibre body on a bonded aluminium structure. Its 21-inch wheels and carbon-ceramic brakes are derived from the Valkyrie and Victor, and a bespoke Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tyre compound was developed for it. The interior uses DBR1 tweed as a reference to the 1959 Le Mans winner, and buyers are offered individual specifications through the Q by Aston Martin service.
