Aston Martin’s New Twin-Turbo V12 Engine

Aston Martin has done well out of the V-12 since it was produced back in 1999. Engineers at Gaydon produced an exciting vehicle, gave it a sharp throttle response along with a stirring soundtrack. It does, unfortunately, have a downside, and this is the fact that it uses a lot of fuel when efforts are being made to cut back on gas consumption. There are a replacement engine and Brian Fitzsimons the chief engineer at Aston Martin explained that there had to be modifications as the green agenda and changes in the law meant that it could not stay as they were.





The new engine has a couple of twin-scroll turbochargers as well as retained port fuel injection. The valves operate on six deactivated cylinders and don’t shut them down as some brands do. As the engine switches periodically, concerning the cylinders to be deactivated when loads are low and the engine is prepared for stop-start technology. As a further fuel economy measure, OW-20 oil is used.

Rather than select a dry-sump system, they have stuck with and optimised the wet-sump one so that it can perform be effective when driving on track. As it was designed alongside the engine, both were tested together in Italy at a high-speed track in Nardo.

In November 2012, Aston Martin tried out the vehicle and was impressed with the performance. As a result, the project was given the go-ahead in 2013 and by May 2014 was ready for tooling.
