Not at all. Aston tunes the AMG engine to their own specs, and the AMG engine is a beast. It’s the best of both worlds, German engineering with British character.

The car does not run on the engine. It’s all in the chassis tuning, design and overall experience that Aston have with magic. The more reliable AMG heart just makes it.

It's a necessary evil. Aston needs to stay competitive, and developing engines is insanely expensive. If it sounds and drives like an Aston, who cares where the engine came from?

The AMG engine does help to enhance the character of the DB12. You get the brutal German power with the British refinement. Best of both worlds.

I'm torn. There was something special about Aston’s own V12s, and their performance is undeniable. It is progress, but at the expense of some soul.
