On the other hand, Aston Martin remains one of the most famous car companies in the world, centering also on luxury and performance with its ICE cars. The company also looked into developing clean energy cars, and back in 2022, Aston Martin partnered with Britishvolt to develop new power cells that it would use for its DBS and Vantage EVs soon.

It is yet unknown what vehicle Aston Martin is working on, but this centers on a luxurious and high-performance electric vehicle that will bear the badge of the famed British car company.
