Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG have signed a Letter of Intent for a proposed deal between both automakers that will give Aston Martin access to Mercedes-AMG V8 engines and other technical components.
When the new deal is signed, Daimler AG will own a stake of up to five percent in Aston Martin. Aston Martin Product Development Director Ian Minards said: “We have selected AMG specifically as the basis for this powertrain development process. Aston Martin sources cutting edge technology from key suppliers around the globe and the opportunity to include content from Mercedes-AMG GmbH in our next generation sports cars is, clearly, good news.”
Ola Källenius, Head of Mercedes-AMG GmbH said: “We are proud to work with Aston Martin and provide them with powertrain and e/e components for their forthcoming sports cars. This is proof of AMG’s technological and performance expertise and a real win-win situation for both sides.”
