The Aston Martin V580 is a 3,998 cc, twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine produced between 2025 and 2030. Developed in collaboration with Lucid Motors, it features a 90° V8 configuration, DOHC 32-valve heads, and hot-V turbocharging with electrically assisted compressors. In standard tune, it produces 460 kW (625 PS) and 780 Nm of torque, with peak output rising to 510 kW (693 PS) in the high-performance Vantage GT variant. The engine integrates a 48V mild-hybrid system with integrated starter-generator (ISG) for torque-fill and energy recovery.
Fitted to the DB12, Vantage GT, and upcoming Valhalla hybrid supercar, the V580 was engineered for instantaneous throttle response, high specific output, and compliance with future emissions standards. Its compact design allows for optimal weight distribution within Aston Martin’s new MLA platform. Emissions compliance is achieved through gasoline particulate filters (GPF), dual injection (direct + port), and advanced combustion control, enabling the engine to meet Euro 7 standards across all markets.
One documented update is the transition from Bosch MD17.8.15 to Bosch MD17.9.0 ECU in late 2026, improving hybrid system integration and cold-start emissions (Aston Martin Engineering Bulletin V580-26-004). Additionally, early DB12 models exhibited intermittent electric turbo actuator signal dropouts under high thermal load. From 2025, revised actuator shielding and software calibration per Service Information Bulletin V580-SIB-25-006 were implemented to enhance signal integrity.
All V580-powered vehicles comply with Euro 7 emissions standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9012).
The Aston Martin V580 is a 3,998 cc twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine engineered for high-performance grand touring and hybrid supercar applications (2025–2030). It features a 90° aluminum block, DOHC 32-valve heads, and hot-V turbocharging with electrically assisted compressors to deliver rapid torque delivery and responsive power. Co-developed with Lucid Motors, it meets Euro 7 standards while supporting 48V mild-hybrid integration and advanced thermal management.

The twin-turbocharged V580 with electric assist provides near-instant torque delivery ideal for performance driving, but demands strict adherence to 10,000 km oil change intervals using Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 (WSS-M2C951-A1) to maintain turbo bearing and chain longevity. The electric turbo system reduces lag but increases electrical system complexity, necessitating robust software updates and actuator maintenance. Early models (pre-2025) may experience actuator signal dropouts under sustained high load; verify shielding and calibration per SIB V580-SIB-25-006 if boost fluctuates. Fuel quality is critical—premium unleaded (RON 98) is required to prevent knock and preserve performance. The 48V ISG system requires periodic battery health checks and regeneration cycle monitoring to maintain hybrid functionality.
Oil Specs: Requires Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 meeting Aston Martin WSS-M2C951-A1 (Aston Martin SIB V580-25-003). Formulated for high-temperature turbo and chain systems.
Emissions: All V580 engines comply with Euro 7 (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9012), verified through RDE and WLTP testing protocols.
Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards. 510 kW output requires RON 98 fuel and revised ECU calibration (Aston Martin TIS Doc. V580-ECU-019).

The Aston Martin V580 was used across Aston Martin's MLA platform with longitudinal mounting and co-developed with Lucid Motors for hybrid performance. This engine received model-specific calibrations-intake tuning in the Vantage GT and revised exhaust manifolds in the DB12-and from 2026 the Valhalla adopted the V580-Hybrid variant with enhanced ISG output and revised thermal management, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine serial number stamped on the right-hand side of the engine block near the front cover (Aston Martin TIS V580-ID-001). The 7th VIN digit indicates engine type ('V' for V580 series). All units have black cam covers with 'V580' and 'Aston Martin' badging. Critical differentiation from Mercedes-AMG M177: V580 features Lucid-derived electric turbo actuators, 48V ISG integration, and unique ECU calibration. Service parts require model-year verification—turbo actuators for pre-2025 DB12 models are incompatible with post-2025 units due to shielding upgrade per SIB V580-SIB-25-006.
The V580's primary reliability risk is electric turbo actuator signal dropout on pre-2025 units, with elevated incidence during sustained high-load operation. Internal Aston Martin service reports from 2025 indicated intermittent boost loss in early DB12 models, while UK DVSA records show related fault codes contributing to emissions-related MOT failures. Aggressive driving and infrequent software updates increase risk, making use of revised shielding and calibration critical.
