28 Jun 2017|1,999 views
Less than two years after being unveiled as a concept, Aston Martin is confirming that the all-electric RapidE will enter production in 2019. Set for a limited production run of 155 cars, the RapidE is Aston Martin's first all-electric model. As such, it spearheads development of the brand's low and zero-emission vehicle strategy laid out by Aston Martin President and CEO Dr. Andy Palmer in the company's Second Century Plan.
The RapidE sees a continuation of the collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering who worked on the original RapidE Concept. Based in Grove, Oxfordshire, U.K., Williams Advanced Engineering will assist Aston Martin with the complex task of engineering integration.
Based upon the forthcoming Rapide AMR concept, the RapidE will deliver four-door sports car looks and dynamics of the Rapide S powered by an all-electric powertrain replacing the 6.0-litre V12 engine. The instantaneous delivery characteristics of electric motors means the RapidE will offer a unique driving experience of a kind not experienced before in an Aston Martin. More information will be revealed about the RapidE's all-electric powertrain in due course.
