Mercedes V12 To Go Silent, AMG To Take Over

Autoweek quotes that Mercedes Benz has decided to handover its prestigious art of making V12 engine to its in- house tuner AMG.

Did You Know: Who Is The Father Of Murciélago’s V12 Engine?

This information was revealed by Mark J. Tillman, the manager at Aston Martin Tampa Bay, who
spoke recently with the duPont Registry.
