Project Alligator: Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz Collaboration We’ve heard about the Aston Martin & Mercedes rumor a couple of months earlier, but it seems that this, like many other Mercedes rumors, will become reality. CAR magazine is revealing that Aston Martin and Mercedes are planing a wide-ranging tie-up to collaborate on engines, hybrids, transmission and even entire platforms. Here are the highlights of the so called Alligator project: - Mercedes engines power future Aston Martins - AMG’s 6.3 liter V8 would make its way into the Vantage models - Diesels and Hybrids from Mercedes would be used in Astons - Whole platforms to be shared by top-end models - 8 speed automatic tranny for AM sports cars - Maybach and Aston would be cooperating on future models More info will be revealed in the CAR magazines September issue. We’ll definitely keep you updated on this story, but for now, this sounds like very interesting and exciting news. Let’s just have patience and wait for more details on the Alligator Project. - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER What do you think? |

^ Well Tyc Mb and AM were talking before BMW even noticed so excuse'em  AM is damn lucky it'll gain a lot from this,MB makes the world's most insane engines so with that kinda power+MB's new 8 speed tranny +AM gorgeous styling they will be almost too good to be true. So it's true MM and AM will be using the same platform for the next MM coupe and big AMs,interesting. |

I'm only saying that BMW clearly had their chance and that's a fact, but they've missed it, due to these or those reasons, i don't care, they've missed it!  |

I still think it will not be an 8 speed, but a 9 speed transmission. |
