After a tentative agreement last July, Aston Martin and AMG have just formalized their technical collaboration.

AMG will develop engines for Aston Martin in exchange for 5% of the British brand.

The deal will allow Aston Martin to gradually replace their current V12s which are extremely fuel inefficient.

It won’t be until 2016 or 2017 until we’ll see the first Aston Martin models powered by an AMG V8.
