Canada's One and Only Aston Martin Valiant, delivered by Grand Touring Automobiles
One of just 38 globally, V12 supercar was commissioned by F1® legend Fernando Alonso.
TORONTO, April 11, 2025 /CNW/ - Grand Touring Automobiles, Canada's foremost retailer of luxury and exotic vehicles, proudly announces the delivery of the Aston Martin Valiant — an ultra-exclusive, trackfocused, road-legal supercar and the sole unit allocated to the Canadian market. With global production limited to just 38 examples, the arrival of Valiant marks a rare and prestigious moment in the Canadian automotive landscape.
Born from a personal commission by two-time FIA Formula One® World Champion and Aston Martin's Aramco Formula 1® Team driver, Fernando Alonso, and brought to life by Q by Aston Martin — the marque's in-house bespoke division — Valiant is a bold celebration of power, precision, and purposeful design. Fitted with a formidable 734-hp 5.2-litre, twin-turbocharged V12 engine and paired with a sixspeed manual transmission, this limited-edition vehicle seamlessly marries motorsport engineering with the artistry of modern coachbuilding with a full-carbon fiber body.
"Delivering Canada's only Aston Martin Valiant is a true honour," said Paul Cummings, Dealer Principal and CEO of Grand Touring Automobiles. "This vehicle represents the highest expression of Aston Martin's technical mastery and bespoke craftsmanship. It is also a testament to our unwavering commitment to offering our clients access to the most exceptional and rare vehicles in the world."
Finished in a striking bespoke Golden Saffron exterior and adorned with exclusive Q Commission badging, Valiant is further distinguished by Alonso's signature hand-applied to the centre console — a personal touch that solidifies its place in automotive history.
"The Aston Martin Valiant is more than a performance vehicle — it is an embodiment of the brand's racing heritage and bespoke philosophy," said Alek A. Ackerman, Aston Martin Brand Manager. "It's a collector-grade car designed for driving purists, blending visceral performance with a unique aesthetic tailored for the most discerning enthusiasts."
The arrival of Valiant further strengthens Grand Touring Automobiles' position as Canada's premier destination for exclusive automotive experiences. This delivery not only exemplifies the company's dedication to excellence but also reinforces its ongoing relationship with world-class automotive brands that continue to redefine the boundaries of luxury and performance.
