Aston Martin Valour - the only V12 turbo in automotive history to come with a manual

There is only one car in the history of the automobile to have a turbo V12 engine mated to a manual gearbox. And this is it.

There will only be 110 made so it will be even more rare than the Tourbillon.

So don’t spend too long looking at that seven-figure price of $2 million and wondering how on earth that can be justified. It’s not the unique carbonfibre body or anything contained therein for which you’re really paying all that additional moolah, but the right to possess the one thing really rich people crave above all others: stuff other rich people don’t have.

The Valour will come with a quad-cam 48-valve engine that puts out 705 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque.

Not a turbo V12, but Aston Martin released a naturally aspirated V12 car with a manual gearbox. It is called the victor.

The car looks stunning. It seems to me that the Valour is inspired by Victor from the images shared by @Chiekennuget

Production is limited to 110 units to signify the 110 years Aston Martin has been in existence.

Huayra Epitome and a few old astons also came with manual gearboxes with a turbo V12 so this is not the only car in the history of the automobile to have that combination.

None of the Astons came with a turbo v12 manual. The manuals came with a NA v12’. The Epitome launched a couple of hours ago is a one off commissioned by a client and is not yet even into prototype production.

My bad i thought the DBS and other models were turbocharged. But this isn't the only car with a v12 twin turbo manual. The pagani utopia also has the option of having a manual with the twin turbo v12.

Was just about to post this, Cheers!
The only difference I see is Pagani Utopia is a 7 speed and the Aston is a 6 speed. Have to admit the Pagani looks a lot better in my eyes.

Re: Aston Martin Valour - the only V12 turbo in automotive history to come with a manual

Didn’t the Bugatti EB110 come with a manual and a turbocharged V12? Wonder what all the hype is about? Aston and Lamborghini have now become marketing experts; generating much ado over nothing much IMO.
