There's a new Aston Martin. The Valen was presented at Monterey Car Week in the United States, claiming to be the most powerful front engine supercar ever existed. Only 150 will be produced and deliveries should begin in the second quarter of next year.
Front motor, rear traction
We found an engine V12 biturbo 5.2 liters with 850 hp power and 1,000 Binary Nm. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is carried out in 3.1 seconds, while the maximum speed is 345 km/ h. The transmission is ZF of eight relationships. Although the engine is front, the traction is rear, with carbon fiber transmission shaft.
Different design
Close and receded headlights, angular radiator opening, geometric grid, upper capot vent opening and a splitter with pronounced angle mark the front. There are longer side fins and integrated into a wide vent opening, extending over almost the entire length of the door. Packers have a staggered profile, with serrated vortex generators. New side windows are also essential for the profile image of Aston Martin Valen.
The rear is described as bold, being that there is a solid gate in place of the eyepiece and the lid of the more traditional trunk. The wing is integrated into the upper section. In terms of luminous signature, there is a bar that extends to all width, with a edge that works as a Gurney flap. Under this strip, there is a perforated panel to extract the hot air around the exhaust – which ends in tips over the top of the rear upward diffuser.
Bodywork is made of carbon fiber, a version of Valen is available with the material exposed. The displayed unit is painted in red Satin Andromeda Red, conjugated with copper and gold details, as well as blue hues – thanks to Chromaflair pigments. Carbon fiber can be painted in various colors.
In terms of suspension, we find overlapping triangles and stabilizer bar in front, with a multilink rear layout and stabilizer bar. Intelligent adaptive shock absorbers are present in a Bilstein DTX system. Brake discs are carbo-ceramic on both axles.
The Aston Martin Valen measures 4.830 mm long, 2.120 mm wide and 1.290 mm high, with the distance between axes of 2.885 mm. The weight has not yet been announced. Magnesium rims are 21 inches.
Interior
Whoever gets into Aston Martin Valen, find a car in the configuration of two places. The central console has 3D printed elements, with the drawing of the passenger compartment oriented to the driver. New banks can be chosen Sports Plus more comfortable or low-weight carbon fiber seats that appeal more to driving experience. The trunk takes up to 170 liters.
The British manufacturer bet on a more tilted central touch screen, new drilled sections that refer to exterior vents and a generally minimalist design. You can choose semianiline and Alcantara skin or integral semianiline skin, as well as five combinations of materials available (Monotone, Duotone, Light Duotone, Tritone and Driver Focused).
The Driver Focused option highlights the valen driver's seat, which features a new padded in the upholstery developed in specific.
The driver of this powerful supersport can adapt the behaviour of the vehicle through five driving modes (Wet, Sport, Sport+, Track and Individual customizable).
