With the new DB12, Aston Martin reminded the world how beautiful cars it can design. And even though the grand tourer doesn’t have a V12 engine option (at least not for now), it offers a significantly boosted performance compared to its predecessor and a styling that matches it. The DB12 is just the beginning though, as the automaker will reportedly unveil its five-year product plan during its capital markets day on 27 June.
Autocar quotes Aston Martin’s chairman Lawrence Stroll, who said in an interview with the British publication the firm is on track to launch its first electric vehicle in 2026. This is just a small step in the luxury firm’s massive plan to become a net-zero business by the end of the decade. Not “many customers [are] asking me for a BEV,” Stroll admitted, but the good news is the electric product will be a brand new vehicle, not just a case of “putting batteries in an old platform.”
