Aston Martin this year celebrates its 110th anniversary ! Founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin, the brand with more than a century of history tirelessly offers sports models that embody British elegance and sophistication. The brand, known for its famous DB models, is using this anniversary to define its future, especially in electric! So far, few manufacturers of sporting goods have decided on this topic. Porsche did it with their Taycanand to a lesser extent Audi with RS e-tron. As for others, there are more and more announcements, but at the moment there are few concrete projects. Lamborghini, for example, has announced that it wants to develop its first electric car, but not before 2026. Aston Martin companythe brand was developed in conjunction with Williams Advanced Engineering a 2019 Rapide electric sedan project. baptized Quick Eit was finally abandoned in 2020.

A partnership with Mercedes-AMG as far as heat goes?

Where have we been since then? She always ambitious about electricity, wanting to develop their own sport in the coming years. But while Aston Martin is a car manufacturer, it is not an engine manufacturer. Hinted that he does not assemble his own engines. The thing will be the same electrically, and finding a partner is crucial. So far, the talks have hinted at a contract with Mercedes-Benz (which already supplies Aston heat engines). This is questioned. Considered

the arrival of a new CEO who wants distance yourself from Mercedes-AMG. However, nothing changes about the connections they have in Formula 1. Therefore, there is time looking for a new partnerand two are currently in the draw…

Geely and Lucid, electrical specialists

Exist Geely already. THE Chinese automobile group, as we know, is becoming more and more entrenched in Europe and in the business of European manufacturers. It already owns the brands Volvo, Polestar, Lotus, as well as shares in Mercedes, Daimler and soon Renault! A few months ago, to everyone’s surprise, he entered the the capital of Aston Martin, by repurchasing 7.6% of its shares! But despite all this, the British firm does not seem to see it ambiguously, so a partnership with Geely does not seem appropriate. The most likely partnership will be with Lucid, an American manufacturer of electric cars. The one that holds Saudi sovereign wealth fund, could create synergy with Aston Martin if the brand was in turn bought by the Saudis. Aston Martin will become Lucid’s sports division in a way, in this new portfolio of brands. THE negotiations are going welland this track is currently the most specific in the eyes of the Aston Martin management.
