Aston Martin to continue building V12 sports cars

​The new new V8-powered Aston Martin DBX 707 SUV just edges the V12-engined DBS grand tourer on outright acceleration, but boss Tobias Moers has no immediate plans to phase out the company’s own 12-cylinder motor.


Asked if the DBX 707’s V8 – a modified version of Mercedez AMG’s most potent engine – could replace the V12 in the Aston Martin DBS and the top-rung DB11, Moers said: “No, we won’t do that. The V12 still has a bit of potential, and having the V12 Vantage shows there’s still room for a V12 in our sports car generation.”




The new V12 vintage is expected to use a similar powertrain configuration to the V12 spider speed which makes 690bhp and 555lb ft. It has already been confirmed as a swansong for the V12 Vantage name, but Moers’s latest remarks suggest the engine will maintain a role in Aston Martin’s sports car programme.
