2011 Aston Martin Rapide
It seems that the Aston Martin Rapide has moved into the final stages (finally!) of its development programme and the officials say that the debut will be made in late 2009 and it will hit the showrooms in early 2009. According to the official information, the new sedan will carry under the hood the 6.0-liter V12 engine, as we said in our previous report, capable to deliver 470 bhp and 600 Nm of torque. This engine will be connected to the highly responsive Touchtronic gearbox. Aston Martin Chief Executive, Dr. Ulrich Bez said: "The Rapide will be the most elegant four-door sports car in the world.
It completes the Aston Martin range conveying our established attributes of Power, Beauty and Soul. "In 2010 there will be an Aston Martin for every type of sports car customer regardless of the demands of their lifestyle. The Rapide is the most versatile, bringing a new benchmark of luxury and refinement to both driver and passenger."
"Rapide will exceed expectations to deliver elegance and practicality in a form that will allow driving enjoyment and comfort beyond anything that exists today," says Dr Ulrich Bez, "The Rapide will exist in a class all of its own, a true Aston Martin with the high performance and dynamic excellence that defines the brand, and a luxurious sporting grand tourer without equal."
