Victor?
Valour?
Another 3 pedal Aston anyone?


Meet the Valiant:

I believe that completes their V-Bomber trio. The wing looks out of place though. It has a lot of S550 Mustang in its side profile. Still very pretty though.

 

[kjb]

Yeah I have to agree from the side it does bring to mind the Mustang. I like the sound of the car.

The backlights dont fit the design philosophy of previous AM cars.

I wish AM had the balls to style a regular production car like this. The Victor was truly stunning, IMO. This one is less so, but still beyond their volume products.

That's how I feel about Ferrari. All their concepts and one-offs are stunning. But they know their markets and they know these special cars sell for millions and are probably at least 50% profit.

Aston Martin Duster when?

Aston Martin Duster when?

Volaré would be more appropriate.

 

[TexRex]

Volaré would be more appropriate.

Thought about that but the F-body Aspen/Volaré was successor to the A-body Dart/Valiant.

The chances of Chrysler or GM having made a ****-box with a nameplate that could fit into any other manufacturer's naming convention has to be approaching 100%

Volaré would be more appropriate.

With rich Corinthian leather.

Frank Sinatra Edition when? 🥺

 

[Neddo]

For a moment thought this was Vanquish successor. Definetly it would not fit phew

Aston Martin updated the interior images.

I wonder if the owner of Victor had any idea his $5 million, 1-of-1 would end up spawning 148 more cars derived from his, lol.

I dunno how things work in the world of very high-end car ownership, but I feel like I'd be at least a little peeved, especially if it turns out the car derived from my 1-of-1 coachbuilt is faster than the original.

I think if you parked them side by side the Victor would look like its worth 2x as much - that thing is straight up baller.

It just doesn't pull off the look of the Victor without that car's insane proportions.

For me, this is the best Top Gear piece ever made by the team. Amazing Aston Martin didn’t give up on the gearbox. Nearly exactly(a month early) fifteen years ago!
