Joining the Valiant is the crowd-favorite Valkyrie, which made its debut at Goodwood in 2021. This hypercar serves as the precursor to the upcoming Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH, set to re-establish the brand in top-tier sports car racing by 2025.
The Valour, celebrating Aston Martin’s 110th anniversary, features a bespoke 6-speed manual transmission mated to a 5.2-liter Twin-Turbo V12 engine, embodying timeless driver engagement and classic appeal.
The unique Aston Martin Victor, described as “the hypercar the eighties never had,” will also be showcased. Created by ‘Q by Aston Martin,’ this vehicle features a manual gearbox and a V12 engine, providing a rare opportunity for enthusiasts to see it in action.
The latest Aston Martin Vantage continues the brand’s legacy of potent front-engined, rear-wheel-drive sports cars. It will be represented in both the motorsport paddock by the Official FIA Safety Car of Formula 1® and by the new Vantage GT3 race car.
Additionally, the Aston Martin DB12, the world’s first Super Tourer, will be on display in the First Glance paddock, alongside the new DBX707, showcasing its state-of-the-art infotainment system.
Marco Mattiacci, Global Chief Brand & Commercial Officer, commented, “The Festival of Speed is a highlight for those who worship at the temple of speed. We are proud to participate in this incredible celebration and look forward to showcasing our brand to sports car connoisseurs.”
Aston Martin’s participation in the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed promises to deliver high-octane thrills and a dynamic display of the brand’s ultra-luxury sports cars.
