F1 star takes delivery of ultra rare Aston Martin valued over £2MILLION designed to be ‘extreme’ version of classic car
FORMULA ONE veteran Fernando Alonso has taken delivery of his £2million bespoke-made Aston Martin hypercar.
Alonso partnered with his team to build the Valiant – which is an extreme rear-winged road legal car.
Aston Martin explained how it was Alonso’s vision for a lighter, race-car inspired, extreme variation of their Valour model.
The team described the Valiant as the “most extreme, front-engine, road-legal Aston Martin ever built”.
The track-focused beast can rocket from 0 to 60mph in around three seconds, with a top speed exceeding 200mph.
And it is powered by a monster 745hp V12 manual feeding the rears.
Meanwhile, two-time world champion Alonso was pictured behind the wheel in the streets of Monaco this week.
Aston Martin also showed the Spanish ace, 43, enjoying his “titan” machine kitted out in steel grey.
Alonso said: “Valour stirred me to create a more extreme, race car inspired version that was track-focused, while also delivering a thrilling drive on-road.
“Valiant is born from my passion for driving to the limit and I have enjoyed working closely with the Q by Aston Martin team on both the design and technical specification and believe we have created a masterpiece.”

And fans loved it, with one writing: “What a beast .”
Another said: “It looks like a Ford Mustang.”
Alonso also gave it full beans up the hill at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2024.
The 5.2 litre V12-powered machine with 745 horsepower joins Alonso’s impressive car collection.
His toy box includes a £2.5million Valkyrie, £1million classic DB5 and Vantage GT3 race car worth £500,000.
The Spaniard also has a DTM race car worth half-a-million quid and a £200,000 DBX707 super SUV as his daily driver.
Alonso is currently 17th in the drivers standings after failing to finish in the top 10 in the first three races of the season.
