However, Aston Martin clearly beat it's release date as the new electric RapidE S sports sedan concept has just been released.
Co-developed with Williams Advanced Engineering, this concept is expected to come in two different versions; a 550-hp rear-wheel-drive model with a range of about 200 miles and a high-performance shorter range model with a massive 1000 hp.
Sources at the unveiling event, a special summit at the Lancaster House in London, have revealed that the concept car has four separate electric engines which power each of the car’s wheels.
Do you think Aston Martin can beat Tesla in the electric car business?
