The Aston Martin RapidE, the brand’s first foray into electric, is all set to enter production in 2019—but only for a limited run of 155 cars. Based on the upcoming Rapide AMR concept, RapidE spearheads the English brand’s low and zero-emission strategy first launched by Aston Martin’s CEO Dr Andy Palmer. Palmer said, in a statement: “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.” The RapidE will be using the structure of the Rapide AMR—the four-door sports sedan looks and dynamics of the Rapide but the 6.0 V12 engine is to be replaced by an undisclosed EV powertrain.
