Aston Martin Confirms First All-Electric Vehicle With RapidE
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
A concept vehicle no more says Aston Martin, confirming the RapidE will come to fruition. The forthcoming all-electric RapidE underscores Aston Martin’s commitment to low- and zero-emission vehicles, a critical component of the automaker’s Second Century Plan as directed by President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Andy Palmer.
The vehicle was developed alongside Williams Advanced Engineering in Grove, Oxfordshire, England.
Concept Rooted
The RapidE is based upon the Rapide AMR concept and will look similar to the Rapide S, although an all-electric powertain will replace the V12 of the Rapide S. Aston Martin promises “instantaneous delivery characteristics,” meaning the RapidE will probably be a blast to drive. The RapidE Concept first appeared in October 2015 and according to Aston Martin, was a significant milestone toward an electrified portfolio. “RapidE represents a sustainable future in which Aston Martin?s values of seductive style and supreme performance don?t merely co-exist alongside a new zero-emission powertrain, but are enhanced by it,” Dr. Palmer said. “RapidE will showcase Aston Martin?s vision, desire, and capability to successfully embrace radical change, delivering a new breed of car that stays true to our ethos and delights our customers.”
