Gizchina News of the week
LeEco are connected to Faraday Future, and now with Aston Martin will work on R&D on a hose of electric vehicles including the Faraday Future and Aston Martin Rapid E.
The JV will see Aston Martin concentrate on whole vehicle technology while LeEco will work on the powertrain and IOV technologies. The first vehicles from the partnership are set to go in the mass production in 2018.
Electric,??? Uhmmm. Aston’s are great and all, but I would leave that to Tesla and the roadster 2 or even BMW with their hibrid i8…..
Then there is the Koeniggsegg Regera wich is the only way IMO that the ice will continue to the future long term.
So at AstonMartin you stay in a car most likely slower than the Model S and pricier than a Porsche 911…
No point here, at least not until 2020….
Remind me to never take business advice from you.
