Aston Martin unveils $2 million Valen coupe
Corporate ActionProduct / Tech
Aston Martin has unveiled the Valen, a 150-unit V12 coupe priced from roughly $2 million, at Monterey Car Week. The limited-run model is part of the struggling automaker's strategy to boost margins through ultra-luxury special editions, with gross margin reaching 34% in the first half of 2026. The entire Valen program is worth about £225 million in gross revenue, nearly two-thirds of Aston Martin's £357 million equity value, but deliveries don't begin until the second quarter of 2027. The company faces £1.5 billion in net debt and recently agreed to hand 50.1% of its non-automotive branding rights to Authentic Brands as part of a £550 million debt package led by HPS Investment Partners, a move that drew a formal legal warning from bondholders owed roughly £1.3 billion.
