Here are some pics of the Rapide as it was test driven by a german car magazine :

Some specs :

6L V12 ,500hp,600NM

0-100km/h(62mph) : below 5 sec
Vmax > 300 km/h

Price : around 270k Euros
they`re pretty confident considering this astronomically high price tag









the most gorgeous Interior ever!

 

isn`t it beautiful...?

 

Holy crap! That's gorgeous! I love how they included the drinking set in the back!

 

WOW!!! Amazing
I wonder what kind of wine is it…

 

Not that it doesn't look nice, but what happened to diversity? They're just selling the exact same car in 2 seat, 2+2 seat, and sedan form.

 

Beautiful!

 

How the Porsche Panamera should have been approached. That Aston is gorgeous.

 

Its beautiful, but the price is crazy!

 

from the looks,the car is flawless....just plain beautiful!

this thing simply hit the nail dead on!

A luxury 4-door car with outstanding performance and handling...no Bentley,Jaguar or MB CL will be able to match the qualities of the AM,when it comes to combining luxury und handling.(Panamera is not even a choice ,due to lack of beauty)

Excellent!

Extend the DB9 and add a couple more doors to an already beautiful car design. Probably the smartest thing to do in this economy.

 

IMHO, this design is even more incredible than the DB9. I love the DB9, but the rapide is so much more sleek - like a couture bullet train. Considering the rear seats in the DB9 are relatively useless, this would be my number one choice in an Aston considering I would need to use the car for family grand touring and vacationing. Unfortunately the price puts it out of what I would call "reasonable" (somehow, I consider the price of the DB9 reasonable, though).

 

omg...sooo sick do want, i wonder how much that wine trunk option is gonna be

 

i completely agree!! i was so disappointed with the Panamera (the rear half, specifically) that i started to worry about the Rapide. but this is stunning, an amazing job.
