AML announces V8 Supercar - due 2022

Anyone seen Autocar today. According to them AML will go head to head with the 488 and launch a mid-engined V8!

By 2022 there will be seven cars all with seven year life spans.

Sounds exciting!!!!

Yes Ian, an ambitious and exciting programme of developing new models.

I do worry about the enormous debt, which does have a repayment date.
Still there is a saying, 'Rolling debt gathers no loss'.
Provided the facility can be renewed that is.

The SUV has a lot riding on it.

Reading the article it looks like there will be two SUV's in the model line up. The DBX and a Lagonda SUV.

So the model line up would be:

DB11
Vantage
Vanquish
DBX
Lagonda - replacement for the Rapide
Lagonda SUV
V8 Supercar

Plus 2/3 specials a year

Quite a line up!

You need to fit the E-Rapide in their somewhere too

Would there be any point AML making a v8 mid-engined car and the Vantage?

From what Autocar said that would be one of the models within the Lagonda range.

And yes I think they would be very differently priced so there could be a Vantage and the V8 Supercar - wonder what name they have lined up for it.
