Looks like this has been confirmed for production, and it looks pretty cool in the vid... What do you think? Will this be a big hit for Aston?

 

the idea that any Aston owner is going to use this thing as a rally car is just absurd.

 

Well... Just put the snow wheels on the Rapide this week.

 

very nice, but i am confident you are in the very limited minority on that. kudos, though.

 

Ha ha ha! Bravo!

 

 

That, explains the Vantage front end. They must have pen'd the DBX a long while back as a thought exercise, SUV's in the luxury space took off while they merged the look on the DB10 and it ended up being used on the Vantage.

That up there, is not rally... that's what you use an SUV for. Then again, few people have the ***** to daily drive their exotics /me highfives Jonny

 

The local dealer says they have a few Rapide customers with snow wheels. They have about 50 Rapide's in their database. The dealership also said they have a few DB11 owners with snow wheels or swapping to snow tires. They've felt confident enough about the car and like driving it too much to store for the winter.

 

a DB11 on snows? wow! i'm impressed that a DB11 owner would feel comfortable in the snow, but it's usually the 'other drivers' - who have zero clue what they are doing in the snow - that you need to watch out for. i wish him luck.

 

Driving a fancy car in the winter has to have some temperance. I am not taking the Rapide out until roads a plowed. Icy or treacherous conditions I can just stay home. Like they say in rally "Sometimes going slower is going faster".

 

Back end looks like a Fiat coupe from the 90's
