The Aston Martin Rapide was one of the eagerly awaited cars of 2009 which was unveiled at the 63rd Frankfurt motorshow. The cute Aston Martin Rapide has a seating capacity of 4 adults combined with an engaging driving experience synonymous with all Aston Martins.
The new Aston Martin Rapide has an evocative engine providing effortless power and torque. The hand-built 6.0 litre v12 engine produces 480 bhp (487 PS/350 kw) with peak power being delivered at 6000 rpm and 600 Nm (443 lbft) peak torque at 5000 rpm.
The new Rapide is a car capable of long distances at high speed, providing both a driver-focused environment and refined and comfortable interior for its passengers. Infact the Aston Martin Rapide turns every journey into an event.
The Aston Martin Rapide is also a practical family car, with a highly bespoke interior offering great possibilities for personalisation thanks to Aston Martin's acclaimed craft skills. From the highly detailed stitching on the leather, inspired by saddle-making, to the hand-machined switchgear, aluminium speaker meshes and metal door pulls, the interior is supremely tactile and rewarding.
A 301 litre luggage compartment affords generous space for belongings for all four passengers. The Aston Martin Rapide also excels as an occasional load-hauler, with individually folding rear seats - at the push of a button - to allow the rear luggage space to expand to up to 750 litres.
The Aston Martin Rapide encapsulates the values of Aston Martin in a sporting saloon.
First deliveries of the Aston Martin Rapide will commence early in 2010 and will be available globally through Aston Martin's 125 strong dealership network.
