The Aston Martin Val Caries V 12 engine developed by Cosworth, Of course, in a little over two years.

And first things first.

This was a clean sheet designed so little over two years ago.

They were staring at ah, white screen on have developed this thing from absolute scratch Those an issue.

Initial specs set by Adrian Yuri, of course, were the six liters 950 horsepower.

And to make it as light as humanly possible, this is the finished article on.

The specs have improved.

So it is now 6.5 liters, naturally aspirated V 12.

It will rev to 11,000 rpm and produces a nice round 1000 brake horsepower.

The other thing about this, perhaps the most significant thing about this engine is how light it is.

Just 202 kilograms.

To give you a bit of context.

The 177 engine itself a lightweight V 12 way to 280 kilograms.

There's an example of how pedantic they've bean with a light waiting here.

Well, the first time you saw this engine agent knew he came in here and started tapping away at the lacquer on this engine cover, he asked Cosworth how much it weighs.

The answer was 130 grams, and he pulled his disappointed face, which is why you can now audio of alcohol with without the lacquer, depending on how hard core you want to pay, there will be a hybrid boost element, I'm told.

So there's gonna be an electric motor incorporated into the gearbox.

They're not talking about how much power that's gonna produce yet, but around about 100 horsepower is a fair.

Guests are a total of about 1100 horsepower, but rather than that adding extra performance extra acceleration, that electric motor is more about taming this engine at low speeds.

Okay, it's one of the most high performance engines ever produced the most powerful, naturally aspirated V 12 ever produced.

But you still got We have to drive this thing around town.

You still got to be able to go for a coffee in it, and you don't wanna be kangaroo ing down the king's road so that electric motor just talk feels lets you pull away smoothly at low revs.

They say this thing has a life of 100,000 kilometres.

I'm not sure how many people are gonna drive there Valkyrie for 100,000 kilometers, but there you go.

It has to overperform in all areas.

This thing is an engineering marvel, and I don't know about you, but I'm ready to hear it operating.

They've actually got one on the dyno through their their endurance, testing the engine as we speak.

So if you make our way through, we can hear it doing a lap of Silverstone right now.

This might look like a bit of an old broom covered around the back because Worth, But actually, behind this wall is the engine the Valkyries 12 on the diner on.

If I waggled this handle, apparently they're gonna run it on the simulation of the first section.

Silver some tracks so we can actually hear it in all its glory.

Hey, guys.

Any moment now.

No way.

Oh, yes.
