Coupe

Right now, the only engine available for the Aston Martin Vantage is an AMG-sourced 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, which is also offered in the DB11. The DB11 is also available with Aston Martin's sublime 5.2-liter, twin-turbo V12. Sadly, Aston Martin currently has no plans to build a V12-powered Vantage. But if you fancy the challenge, you can now build your own.

In the Aston Martin DB11 AMR, the 5.2-liter, twin-turbo V12 produces 630 horsepower and 516 lb-ft, while the upcoming Aston Martin V12 Speedster increases the output to 700 horsepower. This sublime engine can be used to build your dream car, because a rare opportunity has come up to buy Aston Martin's V12 engine for a potential engine swap project.

Currently listed on eBay is a used Aston Martin 5.2-liter turbocharged V12 that used to belong to a 2017 Aston Martin DB11. It was recovered from the DB11, after the car was wrecked in an accident that caused it to rollover. Fair warning.

In the Aston Martin DB11 AMR, the 5.2-liter, twin-turbo V12 produces 630 horsepower and 516 lb-ft, while the upcoming Aston Martin V12 Speedster increases the output to 700 horsepower. And now this sublime engine can be used to build your dream car.

The seller is based in California and is only offering to ship the V12 engine to commercial addresses. Whoever ends up owning the Aston Martin V12 can potentially use it to create a crazy engine swap project. Which car would you love to perform an Aston Martin V12 transplant on?

While Aston Martin's marriage with AMG will soon end as AMG's 4.0-liter V8 will be replaced with an in-house developed hybrid V6 engine, Aston Martin's V12 is here to stay for the foreseeable future. The company remains committed to the twelve-cylinder unit for as long as possible, providing they can comply with emissions regulations.
