In Auto-Motor-Sport they say the new frame is quite possible from Aston Martin:
this rumour has been doing the rounds: it is false. AM wanted to sell the Vanquish chassis, but the asking price was far too high: one figure I heard was "over £25m" for the IP, machinery, etc. there is no way MMC would consider spending that on a chassis that, it can be argued, is no better than the existing Aero S5 Chassis.
I am 100% sure the new chassis has been developed between Morgan and Radshape and will be unique to MMC.
I'm also certain, as Peter is, that the car will not be using JLR engines.
Well they won’t have been employing ex Lotus chassis engineers for the past few years if they were then going to purchase a chassis from another manufacturer!
