Aston Martin and Brough Superior
Debuting in the new DB12, Aston Martin drivers will be able to enjoy the newly developed Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound System in their cars for the first time, as two iconic British brands announce an exciting new audio partnership.
Powertrain
A DOHC 997cc 8-Valve 88-degree V-twin, water and oil cooled, short stroke measuring 94mm x 71.8mm, kicks out a turbo-charged 134 kW (180 hp) at just 180 kilos dry weight.
The AMB 001 represents the first Brough Superior model to be presented with a turbo-charged engine. The powerful turbo gifts the rider with a motor that has an incredible response and huge torque over a wide range of RPM.
The variable geometry turbo is intercooled for increased efficiency and its modern low inertia turbine is specifically designed to avoid turbo lag.
The Transmission includes an extractible 6 speed gearbox an APTC clutch, and a final chain drive.
The timing is driven by a compact short Morse chain and a gear train to ensure precision and reliability.
The engine covers are machined from a solid billet of metal.
The exhaust manifold is manufactured from Inconel, a superalloy chosen for its excellent thermal and mechanical properties.
