The F1 summer break is almost over, and while some drivers have been popping the question or hanging with celebrities, Fernando Alonso has been making a statement on the streets of Monaco. The two-time world champion was recently spotted cruising through the famous Monte Carlo tunnel—yes, the one you see during the Grand Prix—in a jaw-droppingly rare supercar.
Alonso was behind the wheel of a custom Aston Martin Valiant, a machine that’s as exclusive as it gets. According to reports, the Spaniard worked closely with Aston Martin’s design and engineering teams to bring this beast to life. It’s not just any car—it’s a limited-edition model packing a 5.
2-liter twin-turbo V12 that cranks out 735 horsepower.
Only 38 Valiants were ever built, and Alonso reportedly took delivery of the very first one off the production line. That alone makes his ride even more special. One of these cars recently sold at auction for a staggering $2.
3 million, but experts suggest Alonso’s personal example could be worth significantly more.
The Aston Martin driver wasn’t the only one turning heads in Monaco. His teammate Lance Stroll has also been spotted in the principality, driving an ultra-exclusive Aston Martin DBR22 valued at around £2. 5 to £3 million.
Clearly, the team knows how to travel in style.
With the season about to restart, fans are left wondering—will Alonso’s Valiant make a surprise appearance at the next race weekend?
