An Aston Martin in every sense, Rapide E has been designed to enhance and build on the feel, character and delivery of the V12-engine Rapide AMR. To ensure this, meticulous attention has been paid to the development and tuning of both the electric powertrain and the chassis across all three driving modes resulting in an agile, controlled and beautiful balance drive.

A special edition, developed in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering, our design and engineering teams have worked together to extract the optimal aerodynamic performance from Rapide’s elegant forms. The result is a new breed of Aston Martin delivering phenomenal performance enabled through cutting-edge electrification.

Rapide E is powered by an 800V electrical architecture battery, encased in a Carbon Fibre and Kevlar casing, with a 65kWh installed capacity using over 5600 lithium-ion 18650 format cylindrical cells. These are mounted in a bespoke battery pack where the original 6.0-litre V12, its gearbox and fuel tank were previously located. This battery system powers two rear mounted electric motors producing a combined target output of just over 612PS and a colossal 950Nm of torque making it our most powerful Rapide.

Agile, balanced and controlled, the lithe and pure form of Rapide E houses our fastest and most powerful derivative of Rapide to date. With twin rear-mounted motors producing 612PS and 950Nm of torque, Rapide E is a pioneering step towards our electrification strategy.
