Outgrowing the Aston DB9?


Check out the new Rapide from Aston Martin. Aston raided the names cupboard and dusted off this respected model name from Lagonda and bestowed it on this new four door model. The styling is unmistakably Aston Martin and the DB shape translates nicely to the four door model.

The Rapide is aimed squarely at the upcoming Porsche Panamera and should be priced just as stratospherically. Start saving your lunch money folks and you can be the first one in town with your own James Bond-mobile (with two extra doors).

Update - The Rapide will not be built in England - Contract assembler Magna-Steyr will be building them in Austria. James Bond in lederhosen? Ach du lieber!
