Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz to join forces
Aston Martin and Mercedes to get together? I fancy that seals the deal on the new SLR. I wonder how presently they will be cranking out Benzes under the Aston Martin nameplate.
Rumors of a Mercedes-Benz-Aston Martin tie-up first surfaced valid two months ago, but talks are progressing rapidly with farther reaching partnerships now being discussed at the highest levels. In episode, talks have gone so well that the projected has been renamed from Outline Alligator to Romeo and Juliet.
According to Car Periodical, the far-reaching tie-up will be worth at least €300, and will suggest far more than just engine swapping.
Although not everyone in Mercedes-Benz’s settle crash is quite sold on the idea of an Aston Martin tie, Dieter Zetsche of Daimler and Aston’s Ulrich Bez are pushing the act on through rather quickly, with the possibility of the first joint cook up hitting the road in 2010. That’s the same year Daimler will resuscitate its Maybach line, a project has now been handed over to Aston Martin. If Aston does a satisfactory job with the Maybach re-do, the partnership will spill into more juncture projects.
While the early stages of the partnership won’t see any Mercedes products re-dressed as Aston Martins, Mercedes will appropriate supply Aston with powerplant and transmission. That means that the next DB9 could use Mercedes’ twelve-cylinder mechanism and the company’s seven-speed transportation. Mercedes’ new hybrid system has also been part of the talks, with the first cross Aston Martin expected to make production within the next 10 years.
The approve of phase of the tie-up will begin around 2012, corresponding with Aston Martin’s re-dinghy of the Lagonda brand. Although the Lagonda label will be under the control of Aston, its vehicle lineup will consist of Daimler-sourced models. The tag’s first model will be a luxury sedan, which will be in the main based on the Maybach, albeit with mush sportier intentions. A GL-based SUV is also in the works, but Aston will do far less to misrepresent its Mercedes roots.
Further down the line, Lagonda could tender a four-seat coupe and convertible, both of which would be based on the Mercedes-Benz CL. There’s even a alien chance that the upcoming Mercedes Gull Wing could welcome the Lagonda treatment, or that the CL could be re-badged as an Aston Martin DB10.
Buttress tuned as more details on Romeo and Juliet are stable to pop up over the following weeks.
