And yeah, they have the V12 still, but isn't that fairly rare in their product line now?

The AMG engines in Astons are bespoke. Like with Pagani. Everything else is all Aston. I don’t mind the older AMG GTs at all but the new one is a big fat cruiser. Astons are very different cars to AMG. Much more bespoke and special.
The Vanquish (V12) is limited to 1000 units 333 for the US all of which are sold apparently. They’ve said that the V12 will be produced for as long as it is allowed. Nice.
Valkyrie also has a V12 but that’s a whole different kettle of fish.
Upcoming Valhalla has a flat plane crank custom AMG V8 with hybrid assistance.
