But what s happening with the V12?
Tobias Moers has been CEO of Aston Martin since last August, replacing Andy Palmer as part of a major executive shakeup following the British carmaker s acquisition by Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll who now serves as Executive Chairman. Moers spent 26 years at Mercedes and knows a thing or two about the industry. Earlier this month, Stroll reiterated his commitment to the combustion engine for as long as possible, despite the UK s proposed 2030 ban.
And now Moers has revealed to the Financial Times his plans to launch 10 new variants of existing models over the next two years. One of those derivatives could be an all-electric Aston Martin DBX, though it won t be powered by the firm s electrification technology for one simple reason: it s not ready yet.
