It’s official! British car manufacturer Aston Martin confirmed in a recent press release that its next-generation vehicles will be powered by AMG engines. In exchange, Daimler AG will own as much as 5% of non-voting shares, depending on the progress of the agreement.
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.”
“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,” said Ian Minards, Aston Martin product development.
