Tesla Model S? Sooooo 2013…!

At the Geneva motor Show surprised Aston Martin friend and enemy with the crossover concept, DBX. Not so much because this coupe will be pretty high on his legs, but mostly because of the fully electric drivetrain of the DBX. Each wheel is powered by its own electric motor, the DBX has all-wheel drive.

Not only is the DBX a finger exercise for a possible crossover of the noble British brand, it will pave the way for other electric Aston Martin: the Rapide. AM-boss Andy Palmer recently told the Wall Street Journal that the brand is a fully electric version of the Rapide plant in two to three years. It is not entirely clear whether it is the current Rapide, which at that time more than seven or eight years to rotate, or to a new generation of the four-door Aston Martin.

Completely voluntary makes Aston Martin the step to a fully electric car is not, regulations are required car brands their average CO2 emissions per car sold drastically reduce. Earlier, it was the brand with the Cygnet, a gerebadgte Toyota IQ, the average emissions down to get. Equally, there was even talk that the Cygnet electric would be. A real Aston Martin, but with a powerful electric drivetrain seems we have a better idea. And if they have a bit of a hurry, enjoy the brand in our little country also favourable bijtellingsregels. Always nice, an Aston Martin of the case!
