阿斯顿马丁CEO Andy Palmer近日在原石滩车展期间透露，车厂将在两年内推出Rapide纯电动车。该车将采用全轮驱动，综合输出功率约为597千瓦/800马力。该车配备的电池由LG或三星提供，车辆续航里程约为322公里，预计售价20万到25万美元（约合人民币128万至160万元）。除了这款车之外，车厂还计划推出DBX跨界车的电动车版本，不过车厂首先将在2019年推出插电混动版，随后是普通版本，然后才是纯电动版，因此该车要等到2020或2021年才会发布。

 

Aston Martin announces 800 bhp electric Rapide coming in two years

Aston Martin has disclosed plans to launch a pure electric Rapide in about two years.

 

This isn't the first time we are hearing about AM's plans for a zero-emission Rapide, but now company CEO Andy Palmer has told Automotive News during Pebble Beach the all-electric sedan is being developed and will be launched in around two years. He went on to specify the vehicle will employ an all-wheel drive setup and is going to provide a combined output of approximately 800 bhp (597 kW).

 

The battery pack will be sourced from LG or Samsung and will provide enough juice for an estimated range of 200 miles (322 km). Andy Palmer hinted the electrified Rapide S will cost in the $200,000 to $250,000 range and will be a true Aston Martin without any parts sourced from Mercedes-AMG. The plan is to make hundreds of units each year and they have already commenced work with test mules.

 

It won't remain Aston Martin's only pure electric vehicle for a long time as the company has plans to introduce an EV version of the DBX crossover, but that will probably happen around 2020 or 2021 since initially the model will be offered as a plug-in hybrid due in 2019, followed by a conventionally-powered version and then by the EV.
