Two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso has taken delivery of a bespoke Aston Martin Valiant hypercar valued at approximately £2million. The “rear winged titan” will sit beside the Valkyrie in the F1 icon’s garage. This follows a period of underperformance from the Silverstone-based F1 team.
In September last year, the Spaniard took delivery of the incredible Valkyrie hypercar, a car built around learnings from F1 and created in partnership with Q by Aston Martin, making it a completely bespoke car much like his latest acquisition.
Described as “a true F1 car for the road,” the Valkyrie boasts impressive specifications. The heart of the beast is a hybrid 6.5-litre V12 powertrain creating 1,155PS, allowing the car to accelerate from 0-60mph in under 2.5 seconds. Alonso’s personal spec sees it painted in a satin Aston Martin Racing Green with satin lime pinstriping.
The substantial venturi tunnels also feature blue, red, and yellow striping, while the roof of the car is exposed carbon fibre. Inside, the red anodised aluminium accelerator pedal has the number “14” etched onto it, celebrating Alonso’s racing number.
Now, the driver has another car to play with.
Revealing the car in Monaco and Paris, and commissioned by the man himself, it features a 745 PS 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine, an all-carbon fibre body, and a top speed of 202 mph. Only 38 of these cars will be built, making it incredibly exclusive even before the bespoke options are applied.

“A true thoroughbred aimed at being enjoyed to the full on a racetrack, yet still usable on the road, [Valiant] takes clear inspiration from motorsport, expressing its character through dramatic, muscular form and a plethora of beautiful, functional details,” Marek Reichman, executive vice president and chief creative officer at Aston Martin said in a statement ahead of the unveiling of the car.
Alonso’s car collection is thriving, but Aston Martin are struggling where it matters: on the track. After the first three race weekends of the 2025 season, Alonso is yet to score a championship point after a DNF in the first two races. The Japanese Grand Prix saw the driver cross the line, but finishing 11th, he closed his race just out of the points.
Of course, the team is focussing the majority of its resources on 2026, where new regulations will come into effect. Armed with Adrian Newey, a new wind tunnel, and ample investment and infrastructure, the team hopes to climb the rankings.
