At the beginning of 2024, Mercedes announced that it will continue to offer ICE and hybrid cars after 2030, it seems that Aston Martin has chosen the same path. The CEO of Aston Martin has stated that the company will continue to offer cars powered by V8 and V12 engines, at least until the middle of the next decade.
Aston Martin has planned the premiere of its first electric car for 2025, it will not happen. Although the British manufacturer already has a built platform for four previously planned models that will use only electricity, the British car company decided to delay their arrival due to weak demand.
The CEO of Aston Martin Lawrence Stroll claims that the key role in the survival of internal combustion engines is played by advanced plug-in hybrid systems that meet the new Euro 7 standards, so it is clear that the partial electrification of Aston Martin models has delayed the arrival of electric options.
Also, Aston Martin continues its partnership with the German company AMG, whose well-known and proven V8 and V12 engines supported by hybrid systems will still be used in Aston Martin models. The previously mentioned hybrid option with a V6 engine that was planned to power the Valhalla supercar will be replaced by a V8 engine.
“We are confident that there will always be more customers who want an Aston Martin with an internal combustion engine and we will make them as long as we are allowed to,” Stroll said.
