The buyer of the only Aston Martin Valiant car allocated to the Canadian market has been delivered to its customer.

Grand Touring Automobiles, a Toronto-based retailer of high-end automobiles with several locations across the country, announced the delivery of the ultra-rare car.

Only 38 Valiants are being produced globally.

Grand Touring Automobiles didn’t name the Canadian buyer.

“Delivering Canada’s only Aston Martin Valiant is a true honour,” said Paul Cummings, dealer principal and CEO of Grand Touring Automobiles, in a news release. “This vehicle represents the highest expression of Aston Martin’s technical mastery and bespoke craftsmanship. It is also a testament to our unwavering commitment to offering our clients access to the most exceptional and rare vehicles in the world.”

The Valiant was created by the automaker’s bespoke program, Q by Aston Martin, following a commission by two-time Formula 1 champion and Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1 Team driver Fernando Alonso.

It is a track-focused, road-legal car powered by a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine producing 734 hp.

The car includes something rare in today’s supercars, a six-speed manual transmission.

It wears a Golden Saffron exterior paint colour and contains Q Commission badges throughout. The centre console contains Alonso’s signature, which was hand-applied.

“The Aston Martin Valiant is more than a performance vehicle – it is an embodiment of the brand’s racing heritage and bespoke philosophy,” said Alek A. Ackerman, Aston Martin brand manager, in the release. “It’s a collector-grade car designed for driving purists, blending visceral performance with a unique aesthetic tailored for the most discerning enthusiasts.”
