We’d Be Very Happy If Aston Martin’s First EV Looked Like This Independent Study

These are independent design illustrations by artist Dejan Hristov that are neither related to nor endorsed by Aston Martin.

Aston Martin will launch its first all-electric vehicle in 2026 and these striking renderings from artist Dejan Hristov show what the car could look like.

While the British car manufacturer has yet to confirm what form its first EV will take, we’ve heard that it will be a sports car and according to the most recent reports, act as a successor to the DB11. Hristov’s creation is dubbed the Aston Martin Vanteon and while it is more aggressive than we would expect to see of the DB11’s successor, it would certainly help Aston Martin make a splash in the EV market.

Despite its use of electric motors, the Vanteon has the traditional shape of a front-engine, two-door Grand Tourer and, therefore, includes a long hood, a short rear decklid, and a low roofline. The front end immediately demands attend thanks to the classic Aston Martin grille and aggressive, tinted headlights. The hood also features a pronounced power bulge.

The radical design choices continue along the sides of the Vanteon and include striking wheels, rear-view camera mounted to the top of the A-pillars, and aerodynamically sculpted doors and side skirts.

The rear-end is also extremely bold and perhaps just as menacing as the rear of the famed Aston Martin One-77. LED taillights catch the eye, as does the trunklid lip spoiler and the massive rear diffuser. Hristov also designed the car in both Coupe and Volante configurations with the latter having a pair of seductive buttresses behind the headrests.
