We love the Cosworth-tuned Ford-sourced V12 that sits at the heart of Aston Martin's upper echelon of cars a lot. They sound fantastic, produce a very nice 565 horsepower, and have the kind of smooth power delivery that makes driving an ultra-high end car a joy.
When we heard that Aston was partnering with AMG to create a new line of V8s, we were afraid that the age of the V12 Aston was over. Luckily, we now know that the current 6.0L V12 will live on, although with an influx of new technology. We know this engine can already be tuned to make 750 hp, so we have high hopes for the future.
