The engine

4.0L Twin-Turbo V8

4.0L Twin-Turbo V8

Aston's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 trades the old naturally-aspirated bellow for savage, hot-vee turbocharged thrust — re-tuned with bespoke intake, exhaust and software to sound and feel unmistakably Aston.

Sourced from Mercedes-AMG in Affalterbach as part of a technical partnership, then re-engineered by Aston Martin to suit the lighter, more agile character of cars like the Vantage and DB12.
