2026 Aston Martin Vantage

M177

4.0L Twin-Turbo V8

A muscular twin-turbo V8 with a deep hot-vee growl and instant mid-range shove, retuned by Aston for sharper throttle response than the donor car.

Sourced from Mercedes-AMG in Affalterbach, Germany under a partnership begun in 2013; it is the same M177 family that powers the AMG GT 63 and G 63.

• Its twin BorgWarner turbos sit inside the vee in a 'hot-V' layout, nestled between the cylinder banks rather than outside them.
• Each unit is hand-assembled by a single technician under AMG's 'one man, one engine' rule and wears a badge hand-signed by its builder.
• The same engine also serves Aston's DB12 and DBX, making the M177 the backbone of the modern Aston range.
