Aston Martin does not build many cars like the Aston Martin Valen: a 2-door coupé with 5.2 L AE31 twin-turbo V12, built from 2026 in the decade the industry is turning electric.
Where it came from
The Aston Martin Valen is a grand tourer produced by Aston Martin. It is positioned as Aston Martin's most powerful front-engined car and limited to 150 units. It was officially unveiled on 14 August 2026.
Under the skin
Under the skin sits 5.2 L AE31 twin-turbo V12. Kerb weight is 1664 kg. The layout matters: the engine sits behind the driver and ahead of the rear axle, which puts the mass in the middle of the car and is why mid-engined cars change direction the way they do. The wheelbase is 2885 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Where it sits in Aston Martin's history is not in doubt: it was built at Gaydon, Warwickshire, United Kingdom. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Tesla Cybertruck, the Ferrari Luce, the BYD Racco. Nearby in the Aston Martin catalogue sit the Aston Martin Mark II and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3.
