Here"s a reason to be cheerful. Aston Martin plans to keep a big, fat V12 at the heart of its range for as long as it feasibly can. That"s the word direct from Marek Reichman, executive VP and chief creative officer at Aston Martin Lagonda. Standing over the new squeaky clean Rapide E at this year"s Shanghai Motor Show a 600bhp fully electric super saloon TopGear.com naturally asked about the other powertrain. "It gets harder and harder to meet emissions, obviously," he conceded. "But I think we have the capability to keep V12 engines going within the business. We"ve just got to be very aware of the compliance and the emissions rules that will come out in the future.
