Ford Mustang with Aston Martin V12 Vanquish engine - Video
If it works this is a Aston Martin D12 Vanquish motor dropped into a new mustang ..all I wanna know is why arent there more?

I'm sure it's fast but I honestly don't care much for how it sounds.

I agree, not a fan of how it sounds. Also, there is no reference point so how fast does it go? I have nothing to gauge the power the v12 gives it :headscratch:

Check out this video below. Now, something tells me that v12 isn't going to beat this Mustang and I LOVE how this car sounds :gringreen

Well, probably not until the first turn/corner...

I can't say I'm crazy about the v12 sound, but props to the guys that did it. Definitely a nice, clean install.

I've seen that car before. A very clean installation. While I love the sound of a high-revving V-12, it sounds a bit odd coming out of a Mustang.

Did a nice job on it. But was not all that impressed with it. Sounds ok I guess. Just not what we are used to.

Seen it before, neat video, not my cup of tea.

I wish they'd turn down or turn OFF the music so you could properly hear it. I'm sure it cost a boatload of money for something of dubious value. I'm surprised the engine fits.

It appears to be normally aspirated, the twin turbo version will make something over 1000 HP, I think.

Not for me but I wonder where I can get some of what he's on..... :hihi:

Nice Stang. I really like that engine bay. Real clean. Bet it's a pain to work on, but real clean looking. That sound just ain't doing anything for me though. Maybe slap some Violators or something on there to improve it. All in all, gotta give props on creativity. This is definitely thinking outside the box.

Most V12's are high horsepower, high revving engines that do not produce as much torque. Very very smooth though. Less vibration from having 12 smaller explosions happening, in two rotations of the engine, compared to 8 bigger ones. It's also why Harleys will never be "smooth" engines.

If you want to see why no one else is doing it, check the price of a 12 cylinder Vanquish engine....

Thanks, no.

what a waste of time, if he wanted a ashton martin engine might as well just buy the whole damn car. too much unnesscesary labor
