- The Valen produces 625kW and 1000Nm from its front-mounted V12 powertrain configuration.
- Aston Martin will limit production to 150 cars, with first deliveries due in the Q2 2027.
- Weight has fallen by up to 110kg compared with the model underpinning the Valen.
Aston turns up the V12
Aston Martin has revealed the Valen, a new V12 special that the British marque describes as the world’s most powerful front-engined production car.
Created through the Q by Aston Martin division, the Valen produces 625kW alongside 1000Nm of torque.
Those numbers make this a particularly emphatic expression of the company’s long-running front-engine formula, delivered at a time when increasingly complex electrified performance cars are becoming the norm.
The headline output is only part of the story. Aston Martin says the Valen is up to 110kg lighter than the model on which it is based.
The combination of less mass and substantial V12 power should give the limited-run car a distinct character, although the manufacturer has yet to publish a complete set of performance figures.
That leaves acceleration and top-speed claims undisclosed for now. Aston Martin has instead led the reveal with the car’s power, torque and weight reduction, placing the emphasis firmly on the engineering changes behind its new flagship.
Just 150 cars will be built
Production will be capped at 150 examples worldwide, putting the Valen firmly in Aston Martin’s special-series territory rather than its regular model range.
First deliveries are scheduled for the second quarter of 2027. Aston Martin has not disclosed pricing, and New Zealand availability has not been confirmed.
Even with those details still to come, the Valen’s proposition is unusually clear: combine a 625kW V12 with a meaningful reduction in weight, then offer the result in tightly limited numbers. It is a familiar kind of Aston Martin excess, but the Valen’s front-engined production-car claim gives this latest Q creation a particularly sharp point of difference.
