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
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.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.
