Aston Martin Rapide Wallpaper and Review
The Aston Martin Rapide is a four-door, high-performance sport saloon, which British luxury marque Aston Martin plans to introduce in early 2010 to compete with the Maserati Quattroporte and Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, along with the upcoming Audi A7, Porsche Panamera, and Lamborghini Estoque. It was first presented as a concept car at the North American International Auto Show in 2006. The Rapide name is a reference to the Lagonda Rapide, a saloon car produced by Lagonda, now part of Aston Martin. The car is based on an Aston Martin DB9.
The car is equipped with a hand-built 6-liter V12. The company said that the Rapide’s 470 bhp peak power is delivered at 6000 rpm and 443 lb ft peak torque at 5000 rpm.
