Broad Arrow Auctions is putting the spotlight on two rare Aston Martins at its Zoute Concours sale this October. Leading the lineup is a bespoke Aston Martin Valkyrie personally commissioned and owned by Formula One star Daniel Ricciardo, joined by the ultra-rare Aston Martin x Brough Superior AMB 001 motorcycle.

The Zoute Concours Auction will take place on October 10, 2025, in collaboration with the Zoute Grand Prix Car Week.

Daniel Ricciardo’s bespoke Aston Martin Valkyrie

The Aston Martin Valkyrie is already one of the most remarkable hypercars ever built, but Ricciardo’s example stands out as a special version of a special car. Originally codenamed “Nebula,” the project was born from a collaboration between Aston Martin, Red Bull Racing, and legendary designer Adrian Newey, with Cosworth developing its screaming 6.5-liter V12 hybrid engine. With just 160 kilometers on the odometer, it remains in near-new condition, making it a rare chance to acquire a Valkyrie with direct Formula One pedigree.

For Ricciardo, the Valkyrie represents the closest he could get to driving a Formula One car on the road. “It feels like a race car and it looks like a race car,” he said, noting the only difference is the roof above his head. With production of the Valkyrie officially ended, his highly personalized example offers collectors the unique provenance of having been owned by one of the sport’s most charismatic drivers.

Broad Arrow Auctions estimates that Ricciardo’s Valkyrie will sell at auction for a bid of $2.59 million to $3.02 million.

Aston Martin X Brough Superior Motorcycles AMB001

The Aston Martin x Brough Superior AMB 001 is a track-only motorcycle limited to just 100 examples. With its 997cc turbocharged V-twin engine producing 180hp, carbon fiber bodywork, and CNC-machined aluminum frame, it blends cutting-edge performance with meticulous craftsmanship.

This particular bike echoes the Valkyrie through details like the ultra-lightweight Aston Martin “lacewing” badge, first designed for the hypercar and also featured here. The AMB 001 has an auction estimate of about $162,000–$270,000,

Porsche just proved the Cayenne Electric is the most impressive performance vehicle you can drive
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

I have seen the movies. I know there is no way that a car can survive in the jet blast of a plane. I remember the scene from Casino Royale. And for me, that is science. But the engineers at Porsche and Stratolaunch aren’t so sure. They operate in the real world of science, and they came together to see if the Porsche Cayenne Electric could withstand the take-off power of one of the largest and most powerful aircraft in the world. Why? Because they can and because curiosity oftentimes leads to something awesome. Spoiler alert…the car holds up. But don’t take my word for it.

The car is its own beast. It’s got the ability to keep up and play in this space. – Orlando Bloom, Porsche ambassador

Indian commits to American artistry with Signature Series
Machine, Spoke, Helmet

There is something about sitting on the back of a motorcycle that you can’t feel anywhere else. Road trips feel different on the back of a bike versus in a car. Maybe it is the solo aspect of it. Maybe there is the feeling of the wind. Who knows? What I do know is that there is nothing like a bike ride through the countryside. The winding roads, the sunsets through the visor of the helmet, all of it is unrivaled. Indian Motorcycle understands this, and they have since they became the first American motorcycle company. Now, they have dropped a new Signature Series of four motorcycles echoing their commitment to American artistry and craftsmanship.

Since 1901, Indian Motorcycle has pursued the ultimate intersection of form and function – motorcycles that are as beautiful in design as they are sophisticated in performance – Mike Kennedy, CEO of Indian Motorcycle

Is the BMW XM a perfect blend of practicality and performance
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

The BMW XM has received a bit of a mixed response, but there’s a strong argument that it’s a logical next step on from the BMW M5. Think about it, the M5 is special because it combines practicality with exceptional performance. The BMW XM does the same thing, though you’re trading a little handling quality for far more practicality.

On a recent venture in BMW’s performance SUV, I weighed up the pros and cons of BMW’s most divisive vehicle. And it may be a better choice than BMW’s flagship.
