Aston Martin has released a teaser video of its forthcoming flagship - thought to be called Vanquish - confirming it will be powered by their V12 engine.
Aston-Martin has confirmed their forthcoming flagship model (as yet, not formally named) will use a twin-turbo 5.2-litre V12, thoroughly redesigned with strengthened cylinder block and conrods, redesigned cylinder heads incorporating reprofiled camshafts, plus new intake, new exhaust ports, repositioned spark plugs and new higher flowrate fuel injectors.
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 824bhp and 1,000Nm of torque, this unparalleled engine represents nothing less than the dawn of a dazzling new V12 era for Aston Martin."
Those figures will make the new range-topping Aston Martin more powerful than the outgoing DBS, which has a V12 with 759bhp and 900Nm. Aston Martin says the new engine will only feature in its most exclusive cars as a "bold statement of luxurious sporting intent."
