Former Mercedes-AMG CEO Tobias Moers once considered discontinuing Aston Martin’s 5.2L twin-turbo V12, but current executive director Lawrence Stroll assures its continued presence. Stroll hints at future hybridization without specifying the technology or timeline.
Aston Martin plans to prioritize plug-in hybrids over electric vehicles, catering to customer preferences for traditional sounds and smells.

Stroll’s strategy aligns with Aston Martin’s commitment to maintaining the V8 presence, contrasting with earlier plans for V6-powered supercars.
While specifics about future models remain undisclosed, Aston Martin prepares for the transition to electric vehicles, postponing its first series-production electric vehicle to late 2026. The lineup will feature a range of EVs, including crossovers, a grand tourer, and a supercar, though their launch order remains uncertain.
