Aston Martin will bring a strong lineup to the Goodwood Festival of Speed with several models including the Valkyrie, Valour, Victor and Vantage all set to appear in the Supercar Paddock and take on the famous hill climb.
Global debut of the Aston Martin Valiant
The event will also see the global debut of the Aston Martin Valiant, the creation led by F1 driver Fernando Alonso and limited to just 38 units being produced. The two-time Formula 1 World Champion will drive the new car on Friday at Goodwood which will be in a Muncher-inspired spec, a nod to the Aston Martin Le Mans race car.
The motorsport theme continues with the presence of the new Aston Martin Vantage, one in the form of the one-off FIA safety car of Formula 1 and one 2024 Vantage GT3 endurance car. Both will be housed in the motorsport paddock throughout the weekend.

Appearance of the Aston Martin Valkyrie
Also making an appearance will be the Aston Martin Valkyrie. Now inspiring Aston’s ambition to return to the top of endurance racing in 2025 with the creation of the AMR-LMH-hypercar, its return to Goodwood follows its global debut at the event in 2021.
Alongside the Valkyrie will be the 5.2-litre twin turbo-powered Valour, created to celebrate the 110th anniversary of Aston Martin, and the Victor, a V12 powered one of a kind car developed by the brand’s ‘Q by Aston Martin’ personalisation service. The DB12 and new DBX707 complete the set as fans are treated to yet another exciting lineup at Goodwood.
