Rapide

The world’s most elegant four-door sports car. The Rapide exists in a class of its own – a stunning  evolution of Aston Martin’s unmistakable design language, accommodating four adults in luxury, yet providing the sensational sports car performance and supreme refinement that are synonymous with all Aston Martins

 

AMARAP081 ret AMARAP082 Graz Details 00014 Ret AMARAP090 Detail RetA superlative sporting coupe incorporating heritage, elegance and innovation, the Rapide is an expression of the pure emotion and passion that underpins the Aston Martin marque. Hand-built to the highest standards, the revolutionary Rapide redefines the sporting grand tourer.

The Rapide is a true illustration of Aston Martin’s craft skills, and nowhere more so than in its highly-tailored, individual cockpit: driver and passengers are enveloped in a  cosseting environment that is alive with detail and resplendent in hand-finished leather, precision stitching and natural materials. The requirements of these high-quality, hand-finished materials dovetail precisely with the low-volume, high-technology production that Aston Martin has made its own.

At the heart of this sports car lies Aston Martin’s race-proven 6.0-litre V12 engine, which is mated to a smoothly responsive, paddle-shift ‘Touchtronic 2’ automatic transmission. The Rapide is the culmination of the Aston Martin range of sports cars. Providing the most versatile and practical solution without diluting the essence of an Aston Martin – a thoroughbred sports car, powerful, beautiful and without compromise.
