Keep in mind guys that the world of cars is changing. The world where he has to find a V12 masterpiece for his car is slipping away.
With a company history of luxury sporting coachbuilt interiors, he has many choices of which path he goes down.
Which ever it is, F1 is a good eyecatcher for him
Yes, i'd had the vague impression Aston use Mercedes engines for their road cars but they have their own decent-sounding engine facility and even make an all-electric one:
To refresh everyone’s memory, the Rapide E is the electric version of Aston-Martin’s 4-door coupe luxury sports sedan which, its latest evolution, should produce around 605 horsepower, some 738 pound-feet of torque and sprint to 60 mph in about 4 seconds. The drivetrain that was designed by Williams Advanced Engineering features two electric motors at the back and allows fast charging through the upcoming 350kWh DC chargers.

The Valkyrie uses Cosworth and they've worked with Adrian of course so they seem to be ready to use expertise from anywhere. And i don't reckon Lawrence is going to let them laze around doing things the good old way

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.
