This Is What Aston Martin's New V12 Looks Like Before It's Put Together

Want to see something weirdly satisfying? Get a load of this image from Aston Martin.

As you’ve probably gathered from the text at the bottom of the picture, it depicts the company’s new 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, albeit in disassembled form. It currently powers the DB11, and will replace various new models appearing over the next few years.

The downsized 12-banger - which sounds almost as good as AM’s soon to be decommissioned N/A 12-pot - is made of 1667 bits, and takes 20 hours to assemble by hand in an engine plant in Cologne, Germany.
