Potential Tesla rivals are beginning to pile up. Fisker will reportedly start making electric cars again (plug-in hybrids, to be exact), Audi, and now news that Aston Martin is planning a 200-mile pure electric.
Maybe not exactly a Tesla rival in the case of Aston: the price tag of the all-electric Rapide will be in the $200,000 to $250,000 range, according to Automotive News, far above the price of a fully-loaded Model S P90D.
"What Tesla clearly shows you is we haven’t hit the ceiling in terms of price," Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer told Automotive News.
What else was reported? The four-door, all-wheel-drive electric Rapide will deliver 800 horsepower, boast a 200-mile range, and come to market in about two years, according to the report. And Aston Martin already has a test vehicle on the road.
Not surprisingly Palmer revealed few other details to Automotive News. Though he did say that the Rapide would be followed by an all-electric DBX crossover by the end of the decade, the report said.
