The carbonfibre grille is claimed to increase the flow of air to the engine and the wings are heavily sculpted. Aero discs are mounted on the wheels to reduce turbulence, with six inlets positioned to draw cooling air onto the carbon-ceramic brakes.

There are also apertures around the wheel to allow the heat generated by the brakes to dissipate. The rear features a Kamm tail design with a raised deck lid, topped by a large fixed wing.

Underneath sits a large rear diffuser honed using computational fluid dynamics, with four titanium exhaust pipes mounted within.

The interior of the two-seater has a focus on motorsport-esque functionality, with large swathes of exposed carbonfibre.

A new, circular steering wheel features a slimmer frame and has been stripped of all switches for a more intuitive feel. The gear selector is also a new design and a large cutaway in the transmission tunnel shows off the gear linkage. To fit its track-focused brief, the Valiant gains a built-in steel half-cage and Recaro Podium race seats that can be fitted with four-point race harnesses.

There is a choice of Alcantara or semi-aniline leather trim and the door panels feature mesh inserts and fabric door release pulls. Aston has not disclosed pricing for the 38 Valiants that will be sold, but it is understood that each will cost close to £2 million and feature high levels of customisation.
