2016 Aston Martin Vanquish To Have Mercedes-Benz AMG V8 Engine

A few days ago, the British supercar manufacturer, Aston Martin, officially revealed details about its partnership with Daimler which was forged sometime in July this year.

According to the Motley Fool website, the British supercar brand’s 2016 Aston Martin Vanquish model is looking to benefit from the new-generation of high-performance V8 engines being developed by the Mercedes-AMG group. All succeeding cars are expected to carry the all-new V8 engines as well.

Using the Stingray's V8 or the Hellcat Hemi would have been much more delightful. Mercedes will be the death of Aston Martin.

I like this. Mercedes actually makes engines for quite a few other high end brands as well. They do power exceedingly well and then the other companies do all of the handling (Pagani anyone).
