Aston Martin Ushers In New Era of V12 Engines

BY Sean Loo

Aston Martin has once again planted its flag firmly with the introduction of a groundbreaking new V12 engine.

Aston Martin’s V12-engined behemoths - a line that has defined the zenith of grandeur for a quarter-century.

Of course, the firm doesn’t want to give up on its famed engine any time soon, so it recently unravelled the details of a new updated V12, a powerhouse that not only sustains the legacy of its predecessors but propels it into a new era with unmatched gusto.

Boasting 823hp and 1000Nm of torque, this V12 is the result of an extensive overhaul aimed at enhancing every microscopic detail of the combustion cycle.

The technical ballet performed to bring this engine to life includes fortifying the cylinder block and conrods, revamping cylinder heads, and recalibrating camshafts.

The repositioned spark plugs and new, more voluminous fuel injectors orchestrate a symphony of optimised combustion. Meanwhile, the turbochargers promise a responsiveness that can only be described as telepathic.

Roberto Fedeli, Aston Martin's Chief Technical Officer, stated, “The V12 engine has long stood as a paragon of power and prestige, but above all, it represents our unyielding passion for engineering and excellence.”

True to the brand’s commitment to exclusivity and personal touch, each unit of this V12 will be meticulously handcrafted. As expected, it will grace only the most elite and scarce models in Aston Martin’s lineup.

The debut of this new V12 will be in a flagship model that promises to disrupt the dynamics of high-end sports cars. Slated for a grand reveal later in 2024, all rivals will indeed be vanquished. Catch our drift.
