Celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay, has been spotted in London in his new Aston Martin Valour.

In the Tayos Turquoise finish and with its outspoken V12 engine, keeping a low profile was simply not on the cards for the Hell’s Kitchen star.

That’s not what it’s for, anyway.

Crowds gathered around the stunning sports car last month to capture a photo of him climbing in and driving away.

The British multi-Michelin-starred chef was spotting with his new supercar leaving the five-star Connaught Hotel in Mayfair, London, UK.

The stunning Aston Martin Valour sits on 21-inch honeycomb lightweight forged alloy wheels finished in a gloss black finish with Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires.

It also boasts carbon ceramic brakes and yellow-painted brake calipers.

Built as a tribute to the brand’s 110-year heritage, it’s one of only 110 Valours created by Aston Martin.

A blend of American-style muscle and British elegance, the Valour was inspired by the Aston Martin Victor and V8 Vantage.

Powered by a 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine, it pumps out 705 horsepower and 555 pound-feet (752 Newton meters) of torque.

This V12 is paired to a manual transmission and, although not formally revealed, it’s thought it will roughly go from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 kph) in 3.4 seconds.

Similarly to the Valour, it’s thought its top speed is around 200 mph (322 kph).

An avid supercar collector, Gordon Ramsay also owns a highly luxurious $2m Ferrari that Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic also have in their garage.

Ramsay also owns two McLarens, a Senna and a 675LT Spider, a Porsche 918 Spyder, a BAC Mono, and one of the 10 Land Rover Defender 110 SVX JB24 cars specifically built for the James Bond movie Spectre.

And Gordon Ramsay’s three homes split between the UK and the US are the perfect place to house them.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
