The automotive industry is witnessing a shift towards fewer cylinders and more turbochargers, a trend that is being embraced from entry-level vehicles to high-end exotics. Recently, Aston Martin made headlines when they dropped the twin-turbo V12 from the DB12 lineup, signaling a potential end to the iconic powerplant. However, in a surprising turn of events, Aston Martin has announced that the V12 engine is not going anywhere, revealing a comprehensive redesign that breathes new life into the power unit.
While specific details remain scarce, Aston Martin has hinted at extensive revisions to the V12 engine. The company has focused on enhancing various components, including a reinforced block and connecting rods, larger capacity fuel injectors, and revamped cam profiles, intake, and exhaust ports. The result is an impressive output of 824 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, a significant increase over the current highest-output Aston Martin V12 found in the DBS 770 Ultimate.
Excitement is mounting as Aston Martin is set to unveil this redesigned V12 engine in a new flagship model later this year. Although the official name of the flagship model has not been disclosed, Aston Martin’s subtle hint – “All will be vanquished” – suggests a revival of the iconic V12 Vanquish moniker. Automotive enthusiasts can anticipate the arrival of this powerful new flagship model and the groundbreaking V12 engine that will power it.
Stay tuned for more updates on Aston Martin’s upcoming flagship model and the impressive V12 engine that promises to deliver a thrilling driving experience. The automotive world is in for an exciting new chapter with the dawn of this reimagined V12 era.
