The British firm aim to have two new models, under the Lagonda badge, by 2023.

They say they will be the first luxury brand to offer purely an EV line with full autonomous technology.

The 'Vision Concept' will begin production in 2021 and be powered by solid-state batteries under the floor with an electric motor for each of the four wheels. Range will be an expected 400 miles.

Aston Martin President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Andy Palmer said: "We believe people associate luxury in their cars with a certain traditional and even old-fashioned approach because, to date, that is all that's been available to them.

"Lagonda exists to challenge that thinking and prove that being modern and luxurious are not mutually exclusive concepts.

"Whether by a person or a computer will be up to them. And if they want to drive themselves, the car will ensure that is a delightful and memorable experience too."
