Aston Martin originally planned to manufacture 155 Rapide Es. It did not publicly disclose the price, and we don’t know how many orders were placed or how the company will handle refunds. It’s unclear, too, how exactly Aston Martin plans to use the Rapide E for research. An Aston Martin spokesperson declined to “comment on future product speculation.”

According to Autocar, Aston Martin is focusing on the launch of its DBX SUV, which is set to arrive in the second quarter of 2020. The company is also struggling financially. CEO Andy Palmer called 2019 a “very disappointing year,” as shares fell to an all-time low.

Previously, Aston Martin said the Rapide E would have the equivalent output of 604 HP, a top seed of 155 MPH and 200-mile-plus range. It would pack a 800V battery system, compatible with DC fast chargers, and twin electric motors. There were even rumors that it might appear in the next James Bond movie. That seems a bit less likely now.

Unlike the dongle-like Echo Input, this model doesn’t let you use Alexa with a dumb speaker. Rather, Amazon sees it as a way to bring Alexa with you. “Portability has been one of the most requested features in India,” Amazon devices VP Miriam Daniel told TechCrunch. “You want to be able to carry Alexa with you from room to room within your homes.”

The Tap never really took off because you had to push a button to activate Alexa (something Amazon rectified later), but a better-executed model could work. Amazon currently has no portable Echo devices in Europe and North America, but that could change too — Amazon also told TechCrunch that the new speaker will eventually come to other markets. The Echo Input Portable Smart Speaker Edition is now available on pre-order in India for 4,999 rupees ($70) with shipping set for December 18th.
