A report says the British luxury car brand will be going the electrified route, with the first non-ICE products coming in 2025.

The report in the Financial Times and Motor Authority suggested the British carmaker will be venturing into the electric car space. A sportscar and an SUV with electric power will be coming to market in 2025 and both models will be assembled in England.

Aston Martin as a company has been struggling with financial issues and was rescued by a team of investors led by Lawrence Stroll, who became the brand's chairman. Stroll gave the interview in the Financial Times and said the new electric sportscar will be built at the brand's facilities in Gaydon, England. Gaydon is the home of the Vantage, DB11 and DBS Superleggera, while its electric SUV will be built in St Athan, Wales, which is where the DBX SUV is made.

While technical specifics are not yet available, it's said the electric sportscar could have the currentaluminumplatform. Now this is where things get interesting. The current Aston Martin chief executive is none other than Tobias Moers, formerly of AMG. Mercedes-Benz has a substantial 20% stake in Aston Martin and is on the verge of revealing its flagship all-electric EQS sedan. Could Mercedes-Benz supply the hardware (platform and batteries) for the new electric Aston Martin range? Time is ticking as the UK government has said there will be a ban on the sale of non-electric vehicles by 2030.

It was only a matter of time before this happened. We already have Porsche maximising its Taycan platform and McLaren just revealed itshybrid supercar.
