Jaipur: Rumours has it that the German automotive giant, Mercedes-Benz, is considering a deal to buyout Aston Martin, the sports carmaker. If that ‘actually’ takes place, Merc’s existing 5% stake in the British brand is certainly going to see new heights.
These speculations find their roots in an agreement where Aston is to be supplied AMG engines to be used in their next-gen sports cars. This deal totals to 5% share, however, a further investment in form of either a buyout or something is obviously going to benefit both the automakers.
Moreover, the supposed outcome, if further investment from Mercedes happens, can be a high-end off-roader, the one like the production version of the Lagonda concept in the image above. If that comes into existence, it can equip an AMG powertrain, to be based on the Mercedes’ ML 4X4 platform. However, the prospective business relationship may not be confined to just one model, and can open another gateway to a new set of customers.
