Even though this video portrayed Ford as some kind of cheat the reality is the Ford only helped Aston, at the condition when bought Aston, they were frankly BULL SHIT, other than looking cool
The NA engines all had Fords sprinkle and Ford-Cosworth engineers working day and night for the perfection
Ian and Moray Callum still love both Aston and Ford, they were asked to design a car, and they did the job for their bosses , whats wrong with that!
Heck the Astons most popular 4.8l V8s the AJ series were Jaguar V8s, these V8s were loosely based on Fords V8 blocks too, if not for the vantage , Aston would ve been no more and Aston can or never will never b able to pay off Ford for the help it gave to gain ground against the German/Italian giants who undoubtedly are far superior engineers and had engineered machines.
The 7l V12 Aston has in their Vulcan, OMG its based on a Ford Cosworth Cyclone 3.6l V6,
So did Ford sue Aston for that even after they got detached?
See unlike how this video portrays, Ford and Aston Martin worked very well, both benefitted , same was case with JLR.
Ford and Aston still has warm and courteous relationship
The push Aston got after being independent is no big surprise . When U ve a dedicated billionaire it is possible to do this, but with Ford, they cannot allocate budget for any Aston projects cuz by 2005 they were falling for the great depression
