At a time when automakers are increasingly turning to hybrid and electric powertrains, some Italian engineers continue to believe in the merits of pure mechanical engineering. This is particularly true of\u2019Italtecnica<\/a>, which has just unveiled its brand-new naturally aspirated V12 engine, dubbed Orion. With its claimed 905 HP, maximum rpm of 10,200, and weight of less than 200 kg, this engine is the stuff of dreams. And above all, it could very well find its way under the hood of several future exceptional supercars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italtecnica, an Italian engine manufacturer that\u2019s no stranger to this kind of challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you remember Italtecnica? Of course you do\u2014it\u2019s that Italian company that specializes in developing high-performance engines, and it\u2019s the one responsible, among other things, for the four-cylinder engine in the Kimera EVO37<\/a> and EVO38<\/a>, the preparation of the The Porsche V8 in the Nardone 928<\/a> or the V6 engines in the models from Totem Automobili<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also recently told you about his Pegasus project<\/a>, a new V6 engine. But Italtecnica is also working on another particularly interesting project: the V12 for the future De Tomaso P900. Last February, De Tomaso officially confirmed its partnership<\/a> with the Italian engine manufacturer to develop a naturally aspirated V12 engine for its track-focused supercar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, Italtecnica has just unveiled the first images and technical specifications of its new V12 Orion. This engine\u2019s specifications are very similar to those announced for the De Tomaso P900<\/a>, even though a few differences remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A naturally aspirated 6.8-liter V12 capable of producing over 900 HP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Named Orion, this new engine features a 65\u00b0 V12 configuration with a displacement of 6.8 liters. There\u2019s no turbocharger or hybrid system here: all the power comes from the engine itself. In its track-spec configuration, Italtecnica reports over 900 HP at 9,500 rpm, with a maximum rpm of 10,200. Torque reaches 800 Nm, with more than 70 % already available at 3,500 rpm. This promises excellent low-end torque while retaining the explosive character of a race engine at high revs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Orion engine isn\u2019t just for the racetrack. Italtecnica has also developed a version that can be certified to the Euro 6 standard, with an output of approximately 850 HP at 8,500 rpm, torque exceeding 750 Nm, and a rev limiter set at 9,200 rpm. This is an interesting feature, as it paves the way for the use of this V12 in future road-legal supercars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
