Aston Martin won’t release EVs until it’s financially stable
Aston Martin has officially delayed the launch of all of its electric vehicles while it attempts to get back on solid financial footing. On Friday, the automaker said it plans to take up to £500 million (approximately $659 million) in emergency funding from a group of investors led by Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll. As part of a new financial plan, it now plans to focus on its gasoline cars before manufacturing any EVs. It's therefore delaying the Rapide E, what was supposed to be its first EV, indefinitely, and pushing back the relaunch of its all-electric Lagonda sub-brand to sometime after 2025.

Aston Martin dropped a hat-trick of announcements today, confirming work on three new vehicles: the Vanquish Vision Concept (codenamed AM9), the AM-RB 003 hypercar and the Lagonda All-Terrain Concept. The Vanquish Vision Concept -- which revives the Vanquish name -- has been in production for two years. Its arrival marks the first time Aston has put a mid-engine model into series production (which is slated for 2022). The twin-turbocharged engine's capacity is as-yet unspecified, but is likely to be around 3.0 liters, given the size of similar engines from other carmakers.

Aston Martin's Lagonda luxury brand will form part of the company's move to EV and hybrid only vehicles by the mid-2020s. A year after relaunching the premium marque with the Lagonda Vision saloon, the British automaker is back at Geneva to show off its new SUV concept. The Lagonda All-Terrain is an all-electric vehicle that will go into production in 2022 at a new facility in Wales.

The art of burning fuel seems like it would be infra dig, or beneath the upper-class folks who regularly tool around in an Aston Martin. That's why the maker turned up to the Geneva Motor Show with the Lagonda Vision, an emission-free electric concept car of the future.
