The Aston Martin Rapide is a concept from the 2006 Detroit
Motor Show. The Rapide revives an Aston Martin name from
the 1960's used for the 4-door Lagonda.
The Aston Martin Rapide concept, itself a 4 door executive
saloon, is based on the still new(ish) Aston
Martin DB9 and Vantage
V8 versatile monoque platform. As such it shares similar
lines and a powerplant identical in size to the DB9, although
power has been raised to 480bhp.
Built and designed by a 12 man team headed by Marek Reichman
over the last six months of 2005, the Rapide is 300mm
longer, 40 mm wider and 40 mm higher than the DB9.
