Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has caused a scene in London at the wheel of his Aston Martin Valour.
With its Tayos Turquoise finish and its loud V12 engine, the Valour is not designed to keep a low profile.
Crowds gathered around the seven-figure supercar to take pictures and videos.
Then again, this is, at least in part, what a car like this is for.

How the city of London came to a halt when the Aston Martin Valour showed up
The British multi-Michelin-starred chef was spotted cruising the streets of London with the supercar he bought a few months ago.
The 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’s also fitted carbon ceramic brakes and yellow-painted brake calipers.
Even in this dark paint option, this is not a subtle car.
Built as a tribute to the brand’s 110-year heritage, it’s one of only 110 examples created by Aston Martin, and it is also inspired by two other rare Astons, the Victor and V8 Vantage.
The engine that powers it is a 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12, which puts 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 60mph (0 to 97kph) in 3.4 seconds.
Similarly to the Valour, it’s thought its top speed is around 200mph (322 kph).
This isn’t the only rare supercar owned by Gordon Ramsay
With a net worth well north of $200 million, Gordon Ramsay can afford any car he wants.
Apart from the Valour, he also owns the ultra-rare Ferrari Monza 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.
Ramsay splits his time between three homes in the UK and the US, and he clearly knows how to match the car to the city, so to speak.
