Aston Martin Rapide concept




With the sales success of the sub-$200,000 Bentley Continental Flying Spur ultra-luxury sedan, it was just a matter of time before another exotic nameplate showed its hand and made a foray into this very lucrative market. And who better than another exclusive low-volume Brit builder than the legendary Aston Martin.

Looking essentially like a stretched AM Vantage luxury sports coupe, the attractive Rapide is the first 4-door for the venerable brand since the Lagonda.

A good sign that the Rapide is well on its way to production is that the show car at Detroit drove onto the stage under its own power for the unveiling ― a mechanically-functional show car.
