Vehicle Description
2010 Aston Martin Rapide
"007"
The 2010 Aston Martin Rapide is Aston's first-ever four-door sedan,
and its purpose is to combine four-door practicality and exotic
sports-car style. Notably, a successful combination has previously
proven elusive for many automakers.
As such, the Rapide drives very much like a DB9. The 470-horsepower
V12 offers effortless thrust and the sort of grandiose noises that
can only be topped by Metallica performing with the London
Philharmonic in Westminster Abbey. There is an agility that you
just won't get in other super sedans, while at the same time
there's the same sort of ride comfort that has made Astons such
brilliant touring cars. Even the drop-dead gorgeous styling and
beyond-reproach interior are practically identical to the
DB9's.
