This Is What Aston Martin's New V12 Looks Like Before It's Put Together

Aston Martin has released an image showing every single part that makes up its 5.2-litre twin-turbo engine
This Is What Aston Martin's New V12 Looks Like Before It's Put Together

Want to see something weirdly satisfying? Get a load of this image from Aston Martin.

As you’ve probably gathered from the text at the bottom of the picture, it depicts the company’s new 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, albeit in disassembled form. It currently powers the DB11, and will replace various new models appearing over the next few years.

The downsized 12-banger - which sounds almost as good as AM’s soon to be decommissioned N/A 12-pot - is made of 1667 bits, and takes 20 hours to assemble by hand in an engine plant in Cologne, Germany.

Yes, love that show. Although James would probably go for the I6 from a Triumph TR6…

So, if we take the engine and rest of the car in pieces, do we get a discount?
