Once in a generation a new Aston Martin powerplant arrives to shift the ultra-luxury paradigm and today the company reveals just that in the shape of a fearsome new V12 engine.
Aston Martin has committed to
continuing its 25-year bloodline of V12-engined flagships with a
technical masterpiece and a true leader in its class. A showcase for
exceptional in-house engineering ability it is a defiant defender of
emotional engagement, promising visceral performance for those who
understand the direct route to a heart-pounding drive.
With 835
PS and an extraordinary 1,000 Nm of torque the new V12 engine is
unmatched. The result of a complete re-design, targeting optimisation
and improvement, the new engine refines every stage of the internal
combustion process to achieve unprecedented performance and efficiency.
Hardware
highlights of the new V12 engine include a strengthened cylinder block
and conrods, redesigned cylinder heads incorporating reprofiled
camshafts, plus new intake and exhaust ports. Repositioned spark plugs
and new higher flowrate fuel injectors deliver optimised combustion for
class leading performance and efficiency gains. In addition, new higher
speed, reduced inertia turbochargers deliver increased performance and
throttle response.
Aston Martin Chief Technical Officer, Roberto
Fedeli said: "The V12 engine has long been a symbol of power and
prestige, but it is also a statement of engineering passion and
technical prowess. With 835 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque this unparalleled
engine represents nothing less than the dawn of a dazzling new V12 era
for Aston Martin."
The new V12 engine, which will feature across
Aston Martin’s most exclusive and limited availability models, is a bold
statement of luxurious sporting intent and, as such, it will be
handcrafted, year by year, in strictly limited numbers.
It will
make its first appearance in a new flagship model; sitting at the heart
of a true dynamic disruptor that debuts later in 2024 when further
technical details will be shared.
