Aston Martin has officially presented model Rapide

On Tuesday company Aston Martin has officially presented the new model – four-door coupe Rapide which is created on motives of the conceptual car with the same name for the first time shown three years ago on motor show in Detroit. Judging by the first photo, the serial car does not differ almost from a prototype: the rear bumper only has slightly changed, and also additional lateral air intakes in a front part of a body have disappeared.



As it was informed earlier, five-metre Rapide is constructed on the platform of model DB9 extended on 255 millimetres and it is equipped six-litre 12 cylinders motor capacity of 470 horsepowers (600 Nanometers) which is aggregated from six-high-speed automatic transmission Touchtronic with possibility of a manual gear shift. The official information on dynamic characteristics Aston Martin Rapide while is not present, however it is supposed that to "hundred" car will be dispersed for 4,5 seconds, and its maximum speed will make 290 kilometres per hour. Novelty manufacture at the Austrian enterprise of company Magna Steyr will begin already during the current year, and the first commodity copies will appear in interiors of dealers in 2010. According to some information, cost of base version Rapide in Great Britain will make about 140 thousand pounds sterling.

First Official Rendering Of Aston Martin Rapide

The Rapide’s front and rear aspects are closest to the Vantage V8, not the DBS or DB9. The front air dam features just one lower intake, the trunk valance is flush with the car, and the tailpipes flank the rear diffuser area. Those are all Vantage cues.

This supercar is 5-meter long car will be power by a 6.0-liter V12 engine, but slot exactly in between the DB9 and DBS in output with 480 hp. Autocar suggests this will get the car to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, but that could be optimistic – those 30 additional horses over the DB9 have to pull 286 more pounds, which will make it a challenge to outrun the middle sibling.
Not that it’s really meant to. The Rapide is Aston luxury for four, so it is taller than the DBS in order to provide more rear headroom for the “young adults” that can fit back there. The rear doors open wider than the front for ease of entry and the front seats have been raised to make room for the feet of back seat passengers. It even has a wagon-like folding rear bulkhead and parcel shelf. The Rapide will be appearing in the fourth quarter of the year when, with all hope, a better buying climate awaits it.
