Hybrid Aston Martin models won’t appear, Lagonda or Cygnet more likely
Aston Martin CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez recently talked about hybrids and revealed some very interesting facts about his company and how it will tackle the trend.
I’ve got some bad news for those of you who want a stunning Aston Martin design but with a heart of gasoline and electricity, as Bez denied any hybrid Aston Martin sportscars. He did say that such a technology is being researched, and has a high chance of ending up on the newly revived Lagonda sub brand, which has already seen a, shall we say, controversial concept in the form of an SUV, which are a prime target for hybrid powertrains.
He also tackled the small Cygnet city car, which at heart is a Toyota iQ, and revealed than an all-electric powertrain might be implemented in the future.
Overall, these are some pretty interesting tactics Aston is considering to lower its fleet-wide fuel economy and emissions average, but I’m not so sure they’ll get their money’s worth, considering the debates the two concepts have sparked. What do you think? Share your view below.
