£2.3m Aston Martin Supercar Custom-built By Fernando Alonso Spotted On A Trailer Leaves Onlookers Stunned

FERNANDO ALONSO’S custom-made £2.3million Aston Martin supercar was spotted on a tow-truck.

 

Crowds gathered outside his Monaco address, watching in shock as the luxury car was lifted off the truck.

The dark green Aston Martin Valkyrie was personally designed by Red Bull’s chief technical officer Adrian Newey.

It features a personalised licence plate – Alonso’s lucky number 14, which goes back to his go-karting days and he still uses in F1 races as well as embroidered seats with his logo.

The Valkyrie is an extremely complex V12-powered hypercar using a lot of actual F1 technology. 

The bespoke supercar was being delivered to one of Alonso’s Monaco properties, according to Spanish news outlet Eldesmarque.

A team of technicians, including one sitting behind the wheel took charge of the delicate delivery.

The sport car’s codename is Nebula, an acronym for Newey, Red Bull and Aston Martin.

It has a maximum horsepower of 1,155PS and can go from 0-60mph in under 2.5 seconds thanks to its hybrid 6.5 litre V12 powertrain.

It is painted in Satin Aston Martin Racing Green with contrasting AMR Satin Lime Graphics.

Exposed carbon fibre – the material which makes up around 85 per cent of an F1 car – adorns the roof, engine cover and lower aero while a Titanium Aston Martin Wings badge sits proudly on the nose.

The carbon fibre theme continues inside Alonso’s new set of wheels, as swathes of Pure Black Alcantra are paired with a contrasting AMR Lime stitch.

However, one of the most intricate details of the car comes with a red anodised aluminium accelerator pedal etched with the number “14”, another reference to his driver number.

Speaking about the car, the two-time F1 champion said: “It’s hard to put into words how much I have been looking forward to this day.

“To sit at the wheel of my own Valkyrie; one that I have worked on designing so closely with the team at Q by Aston Martin is certainly a day to remember.

“Valkyrie truly is an F1 car for the road, with so much of the knowledge and technology taken from all the experience Aston Martin has on track and I can’t wait to hit the road.”

The car was built at Aston Martin’s UK Headquarters in Gaydon, where a team of highly skilled technicians have hand-built each of the 150 cars, with each Valkyrie taking over 2000 hours to create.

Newey meanwhile is believed to be jumping ship away from Max Verstappen’s team in a £20m deal with Aston Martin in the coming days.

Newey’s exit looks set to be announced before the Azerbaijan Grand Prix next week.

Newey, 65, – dubbed ‘the man who can see air’ – has reportedly turned down Ferrari and a host of other suitors, including McLaren to join Aston Martin.

He will work with Stroll’s driver son Lance, 25, and double world champion Alonso, the oldest man on the grid at 43.

Meanwhile, Alonso pushed as hard as he could in the closing laps of the Italian Grand Prix as he finished 11th on Sunday.

The Spaniard two-stopped and ran in the top 10 for chunks of the race.

But he found himself playing catch up after being overtaken by the one-stopping Williams of Alex Albon and Kevin Magnussen’s Haas.

Aston are having a disappointing season, sitting a distant P5 in the constructor’s championship.

On Newey’s potential arrival, Alonso said on Sunday: “Well, it’s still only rumours. And I think it’s not only one man’s job to fix things.”
