Aston Martin Victor 2021.

Aston Martin Victor 2021: an exclusive coupe with a classic twist.

Aston Martin regularly presents unusual versions of its production models, and their circulation often does not exceed several dozen copies.

However, this time, the engineers of the Q division created a unique car built on the basis of the already small-run One 77 coupe using components from the Vulcan and Valkyrie hypercars.

However, the main feature of the new Aston Martin Victor coupe was an unusual design, inspired by the V8 Vantage model, which was produced from 1977 to 1989.

And the car was named after the British Victor Gauntlett, who ran Aston Martin in the eighties.

The design of the optics, the characteristic shape of the bonnet, trunk and radiator grille are made in the style of the V8 Vantage model.

Although in the cabin, almost nothing reminds of her: with an abundance of carbon fiber, a racing wheel, screens of a combination of devices and a media system, Victor’s interior is much more like modern cars of the British brand.

By the way, despite the retro design, the car body has a good aerodynamic design: at a speed of 160 km / h Victor develops more downforce than the track Vantage GT4.

Under the hood, a naturally aspirated 7.3-liter V12 engine from the One 77 is installed, but after a series of modifications carried out by Cosworth engineers, its output was increased from the original 760 hp. and 750 Nm to 847 hp. and 821 Nm!

But the surprises do not end there: in tandem with a powerful aspirated six-speed «mechanics» from Graziano!

That is, the Victor became the most powerful three-pedal car in the history of Aston Martin.

The transmission is equipped with a dual cooling system and a bespoke clutch mechanism.

And Victor also received special carbon-ceramic brakes with six-piston calipers (front discs with a diameter of 380 mm, rear — 360 mm).

The company does not name the price of the Aston Martin Victor coupe — the car is built in a single copy, and, alas, there is no reason to hope for the release of even a small batch of cars.
