Aston Martin has produced a number of V12 petrol engines for its models. The first version appeared in 1999, when a 5. 9-litre, 60° V12 debuted in the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage.
The original Aston Martin "AML V12" project began in 1994, at Ford's Advanced Powertrain division. As Aston Martin was owned by Ford at the time, this gave Aston Martin access to Ford's considerable engineering and technology resources.
The design goal was to build a unique V12 for Aston Martin, while leveraging many of Ford's best resources. The engine would be designed to compete at the Le Mans 24 Hours, deliver very high torque from low RPM as well as high-revving power, would be scalable for power growth well beyond a "normal duty" Ford engine, and would only use a component from other Ford projects if it made sense and did not compromise the design....
