The Aston Martin / Mercedes-Benz partnership will take a step forward with the Lagonda Concept. In recent luxury SUV tests, Aston CEO Ulrich Bez found that Mercedes was the most suitable for this project. Based on the Mercedes GL, the SUV will come equipped with a V12 engine that will house house diesel, flex-fuel and hybrid power-trains. The engine will be Aston’s, and should be ready within three to five years with production to take place in the UK at the Aston Martin facility.
