Aston Martin exec says its future EVs will likely have at least four motors to support torque vectoring at each wheel.
Aston’s Chief Technical Officer Roberto Fedeli said the core appeal of
was the company’s proprietary powertrain, and the exceptional power density of its combined motor, transmission, and inverter units.These are already producing up to 9 hp for each kilogram of mass—so, just over 4 hp per pound—with Rawlinson saying that is more than twice the power-to-weight ratio of the Tesla Model S Plaid, with longer-established automakers’ systems lagging far behind that. Each Lucid drive unit can deliver up to 670 hp and weighs just 163 pounds.
For Aston that means light, easy to package motors that should combine huge power with very high rates of responsiveness. The forthcoming triple-motor Lucid Air is set to have more than 1200 hp, with Rawlinson confirming the motors Aston will use are actually set to be its next-generation units. Lucid’s compact battery cell design is also very important to Aston, as it will allow future EVs to keep the low, sleek dimensions of the company’s gasoline-powered cars.
