OUR ULTIMATE FUEL INJECTED V8 ENGINE
Just as the Tadek Marek V8 engine defined the AM V8, the powerplant at the heart of the Evolution 6.0 is what gives our car purpose. Enlarged to 6.0 litres in capacity and fitted with a bespoke Aston Workshop-developed electronic fuel injection system, the Evolution 6.0 engine represents the next natural progression in the iconic Aston Martin V8’s development.
The original AM V8 engine is first stripped and cleaned in our engineering facility, allowing for detailed inspection and repairs where necessary. The engine block, now returned to a factory-fresh condition, is machined to accept oversized liners and larger, low-friction pistons. The cylinder heads are also extensively overhauled, with reworked inlet and exhaust ports for better flow. Cooling capacity is vastly improved by the fitment of an aluminium radiator and high-flow water pump that help to keep up with the cooling demands of driving in modern traffic.
The final (and perhaps most important) ingredient that separates the Evolution 6.0 engine from the rest of the pack is our in-house developed Electronic Fuel Injection system. The result of an extensive development process informed by decades of Aston Martin V8 restoration and engine building, our EFI kit is vastly superior to the originally available fuel-injection systems in terms of reliability and usability. Neatly packaged beneath the engines factory airbox, Aston Workshop EFI allows for an increase to power, torque and fuel economy while eliminating the need for regular tuning or frustrating starts on cold mornings.
