Last of the V12s
To celebrate its 110th anniversary, Aston Martin has unveiled the Valour, a model that looks like a modern take on the 80’s V8 Vantage. However, the real kicker is that this car appears to be the last to feature the 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. This magical combination makes it the only car of its kind with the V12 sitting at the front. The engine is expected to deliver 715 PS and 753 Nm.
A Tribute to an Era
As mentioned, the car is a tribute to Aston Martin’s 110-year journey and will be produced in a limited run of 110 units. It also marks the end of an era, being the last car with the V12 engine and the last with its platform.
The Art Conclusion
So, there you have it, folks. The Valour is not just a car; it’s a tribute, a swansong, and the last of its kind. It’s like the last dinosaur, but instead of facing an asteroid, it’s facing the reality of modern car manufacturing. But hey, every end is a new beginning, right?
Now, here’s a little rhyme to send the V12 off:
V12, oh V12, you were the beast and the belle,
Now it’s time to say farewell,
But your roar will forever dwell,
In the heart of every petrolhead, making their heart swell.
