Fernando is faster than you. Proof of that immortal line comes not just in his two Formula One world titles, an undimmed talent for speed and lightning cockpit wit, but in this big, bronze supercar.
Because this big, bronze supercar is called the Aston Martin Valiant, and it exists chiefly because Alonso wanted something spikier, harder, and racier than than the already fairly silly Valour. And apparently Aston’s V-themed thesaurus is still rich in new car names.
