Engine 6.0 litre V12 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. Although Aston Martin has not announced any official plans to produce the Rapide, it is a fully working concept and the model would fit nicely into Aston Martin's 2008 line up.
