Aston Martin has lifted the curtain on a formidable new chapter in its engineering prowess with the introduction of a newly redesigned twin-turbocharged V12 engine. Boasting a staggering 824 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, this engine marks a significant leap from its predecessor, the 759-hp unit found in the DBS 770 Ultimate. The new engine not only promises to surpass the outgoing model in terms of power but also heralds the arrival of what could be the successor to the DBS, setting the stage for a new flagship in Aston Martin’s storied lineup.
The freshly unveiled V12 engine is described by the marque as a cornerstone in a new era for their 12-cylinder lineage, which has been a hallmark of the brand for over a quarter of a century. This engine is not just about raw numbers; it has been meticulously crafted with an upgraded block and conrods, revamped cylinder heads, and newly designed camshafts.
Enhanced combustion efficiency is achieved through repositioned spark plugs and higher-flow fuel injectors, ensuring that the engine not only delivers unmatched power but also improved response and efficiency. Scheduled to debut in a new flagship model later this year, this engine will set a new standard for luxury and performance, emphasizing Aston Martin’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the ultra-competitive landscape of high-performance sports cars.
