At Aston Martin, Facing Down Demons and Building for the Future
The 106-year-old automaker is working hard to beat a few imposing obstacles, from a limp IPO to historically low production volume.
Aston Martin officially debuted the electric Rapide E last month at the Shanghai Auto Show—nearly four years after its initial announcement about the car.
Based on the V12-powered Rapide, the sedan will arrive in one small batch, with a scant 155 “special edition” cars produced. But contrary to widespread speculation, it won’t star in the upcoming 25th installment of the James Bond franchise.
