I think this comment about not having any AMG badging is an interesting thing to point out:
I know that doesn't add much to the AMG-vs-authentic AM (read: Ford/Jaguar) argument, but I wanted to point it out. I thought it was a very professional thing to do on AMG's part. Requiring the badging be present on the car would, I think, reflect poorly on AMG.

If power output is that high on the V8, I don't see 2 options for the Vanquish for output,.. Vanquish I don't see getting a V8 for 2016. But I wouldn't be surprised if a One-77 inspired 7.0L Variable cam V12 comes into play..that can get the V12 to the 700-800hp limit and be there next supercar in naturally aspirated form

Twin turbo V8 for the SUV I could totally see. For the vantage coupe no so much, there is almost zero room for turbos down there. The ML63 already has a 5.5L biturbo in that chassis so putting 4.0TT in that chassis is a piece of cake.

Let's hope that the new AMG-powered Astons don't sound like this. I, for one, am not impressed:

Just a bunch of fart can noise. AMG sound has never been good, even in NA form. If I want my car to sound like a NASCAR v8, I'll buy one of those.
