Aston Martin celebrates its 110th anniversary by presenting the manually controlled V12 engine analog GT supercar 'Valor'. It is a limited edition of 110 units, and the price is over 1 million dollars, or about 1.3 billion won.
Valor's design was inspired by Aston Martin's legendary classic V8 Vantage, Victor and Muncher Le Mans.
“At Aston Martin, our designs are always progressive, but allow some liberties when celebrating important milestones,” explains Miles Nurnberger, design director at Aston Martin.
It has a muscular coupe design full of power. The horseshoe-shaped duct above the bonnet is unusual. Round LED headlights look like concentrating eyes. The exterior is made of carbon fiber for a lightweight yet sporty feel.
The engine is in the front and the rear overhang is short, emphasizing the forward thrust feel. The rear silhouette of the V8 Vantage and the rear lights of the Valkyrie are combined to create an elegant rear view. The triple tailpipe exhaust system and tire design give it a futuristic look.
The limited edition is a great opportunity to take on a great challenge with meaning. Aston Martin has created a sports car with plenty of manual driving pleasure that may be slowly disappearing. The combination of retro and futuristic design makes it feel like a car that will move in a cyberpunk world.
It is said that true luxury is to drive an old classic car that is hard to find parts for, but in the future, driving such a manual sports car may become a luxury in itself.
Every Tuesday morning, a designer with 16 years of experience curated Collect design trends.
