Aston Martin Rapid will also be electric in the future City Magazine

Aston Martin and Williams Advanced Engineering joined forces back in 2015 to create the all-electric Aston Martin RapidE concept. A few months later, they signed a memorandum with which they committed to offer an electric Aston Martin to the market in 2018.

Aston Martin RapidE he will thus join us next year. As announced by Aston Martin, the new Rapid will be something special, as it will not be powered by a 12-cylinder engine like now, but will replaced by an electric drive unit. The specifications of the electric motor are only guesses, but there is talk of 800 horsepower and 320 kilometers of range. We will definitely not see the new Rapid with a diesel engine, because they are already convinced that a 12-cylinder is not sustainable and will be replaced by an electric drive for this very reason. It will be made only 155 copies Aston Martin RapidE, which, as usual, will be snapped up in an instant. The gallery contains images of the concept from 2015 and sketches showing the new Aston Martin RapidE.
