Rumormill: AMG Engines Going to Aston Martin?
Although Investindustrial has a close relationship with AMG and Mercedes, we don’t know for sure if Mercedes is in on the deal or not.
According to a source in Mercedes-Benz, they know the people in Investindustrial and they have a close marketing deal with them. The source added that Investindustrial inquired if Mercedes will be interested in becoming a technology partner if they acquired the Aston stake.
Aston Martin is reportedly eyeing to replace their Ford-manufactured engine with the V12 petrol engine of AMG. However, the source hinted that the deal will be significant and will not be limited to drivelines. Current Aston products show that they do not only need new driveline but new electronic architectures as well.
