Aston Martin is developing a “revolutionary” new generation of cars – from sports cars to SUVs – powered by mild-hybrid petrol power and blasting onto the road before the end of the decade.  

 

“We’re developing the new generation of cars and their platform, with a new level of incredible technology: powertrain, electronic architecture, air-conditioning, seats, everything,” Aston CEO Adrian Hallmark told Auto Express in an exclusive interview. 

 

Aston’s engineering team is developing a clean-sheet modular architecture, which will be able to share componentry far more broadly across the brand’s varied product portfolio. It will mean sports cars and SUVs can go down the same line, as well as driving out costly complexity.
