Red Bull/Aston Martin powered by Honda?

[Mogami]

I heard from a very good source about six months ago that the Red Bull and Honda deal will be more than F1.He told me it will most likely involve Aston Martin too.
The future RB/AM Mid-Engine Sports Cars could be powered by Honda(Cosworth cast).

Now the new Japanese Autosport Magazine has printed the same rumor.

Is this the early death of the NSX?

Will the Valkyrie have Honda on the 6.5L V12 valve cover? Valkyrie JR with the Honda/Cosworth 3.5L V6?

Honda could definitely make more money as an engine supplier to AM than selling three cars a month. Especially considering that AM's volumes are increasing quickly. It would be a smart move, and a faster way to recoup their investments in all the NC1 tech. Become an engine arms dealer to exotics manufacturers rather than building exotics of your own. Lower risk profile too as you have purchase commitments...

[MENTION=34843]Gondo89[/MENTION] that might make sense if these are 100% Honda engines. The the press materials, Cosworth is building these engines for the most part. Not sure what all quantity commitments between Honda and Cosworth exist etc..

When you stop to think about it. The heart of Honda, their amazing engines, are slowly getting outsourced. How depressing.
