The Victor is a unique Aston Martin based on the mighty One-77.
Meet the Aston Martin Victor, a one-off commission made by the company’s Q division and utilising a greatest hits package of learnings from the One-77, Vulcan and Valkyrie hypercars. The new Aston Martin Victor just may be the coolest special-edition car the company has released in recent memory.
The Victor is powered by a brawny and naturally aspirated V12. Same as the One-77, was also powered by the same engine, it has been specially tuned to produce 847 horses and 605 lb-ft of twist, increases of 87 and 52, respectively. The massive engine is also mated to an old-school six-speed manual transmission. In fact, the Victor is the brand’s most powerful manual vehicle yet.
The Victor features a brand-new interior inspired by the world of racing and features a big amount of carbon-fiber. The dashboard itself is rather thin at the top. The passenger-side area is clean, while the center section includes a big piece of solid walnut and only two buttons below the infotainment screen. Both the infotainment display and the instrument cluster are smaller than the norm, but it makes sense given that the Victor is a race-spec road car. The steering wheel comes from the Valkyrie, so it’s devoid of upper rim section, it features a flat bottom, and various controls on the three spokes.
The one-of-one Victor was built for an anonymous client who had hoped to keep the car’s existence low key, but then it won the Future Classics Class at the Hampton Court Palace Concours. Aston Martin hasn’t revealed how much the vehicle cost its mysterious owner, but according to roumors the price tag runs into the seven figures.
