Aston Martin is hard at working developing an all-new twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine and has just released the first video and images of the new powertrain.
Codenamed TM01, the V6 will be the first in-house designed engine from Aston Martin since 1968 and launch with the Valhalla hypercar in 2022. It will also be used by other Aston models in the future.
The engine features a ‘Hot V’ configuration that allows it to provide good power, support for electrification, and keeps the weight down to less than 200 kg (440 lbs). The engine will also feature a dry sump system and in the Valhalla, be coupled with a hybrid system. It has also been designed to meet all future emission requirements for Euro 7.
“This project has been a great challenge from the start,” Aston Martin powertrain chief engineer Joerg Ross said. “Putting a team together to deliver what is going to be the future power of Aston Martin has been an honour. From the very beginning, we have had the freedom to explore and innovate in a way that we have not been able to do so in a very long time. Most importantly, we wanted to create something that is befitting of the TM01 nameplate and create something that would have impressed our predecessor and pioneering engineer, Tadek Marek”.

Aston Martin has not yet confirmed specifications for the powertrain. However, official documentation provided to dealerships about the Valhalla last year confirmed the British marque is targeting 1,000 hp. Coupled to the engine will be an 8-speed, F1-inspired dual-clutch transmission. Aston expects the hypercar to hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.5 seconds and a top speed exceeding 220 mph (354 km/h).
Production of the car will be capped to just 500 units globally with prices starting at roughly £875,000 (US$1,016,614).
