My precious…the Aston Martin Rapide

Finally an Aston Martin that's significantly different from every other new Aston. This one may look like the others, but hold on, it has four doors. Though still a concept, the Rapide has been trotted out enough to make us believe that it’s coming, and soon. Considering that Porsche is planning to release its own four-door supercar, the Panamera, Aston will have some tough competition ahead.

Based on AM’s flexible VH architecture, which is used pretty much in every Aston, that means DB9, Vantage and Vanquish, you know the Rapide will be a thrilling drive. It doesn't hurt that it’ll be packing the DB9’s V12 as well.
