Aston Martin Rapide Four Door Sports Car

Aston Martin Rapide Four Door Sports Car. RAPIDE in sight as a sports car with a capacity of 4 passengers 4 doors first of the Aston Martin though that label is not entirely correct. In 1941 Aston Martin launched the Atom which has four doors and a capacity of 4 passengers. Similarly, in the year 1976 Lagonda and Virage Lagonda in 1994. But with the number of competitors in this segment, Aston Martin created the hype that seems to express Rapide is a straight answer on the Maserati Quattroporte and Mercedes C-Class CLS.


Rapide was first introduced as a concept car in 2006 at the North American International Auto Show. The name is taken from the Lagonda Rapide Rapide, the famous car manufacturer, produced by Lagonda, now part of Aston Martin. Different from the tradition of many years, Rapide is Aston Martin's first car output is not produced in the UK. Instead, Aston Martin created a special factory in Graz, Austria to assemble the composition of this car. Original plan, 2000 Aston Martin fruit ready this year slid on the streets.

Meet essentially as a sports car, Rapide has an impressive kitchen such as runways typically Aston Martin. With a 6.0 liter V12 engine high bertorsi, Rapide promises a satisfactory pace. With the rapid movement of inter-transmission, not so difficult to achieve high speeds with the Rapide. Rapide traction on the street really fascinating. With progressive acceleration, even on slippery roads will not be pounding your heart when push this car at high speed. Noise level generated Rapide also quite friendly, but at high engine speed, Rapide can be very noisy and disturbing environment.

Adaptation of the Ford Fiesta

From the interior side, Rapide also has something different from its competitors. Aston Martin's Chief Designer, Marek Reichman, trying to meet the demands of the classroom as a car that can carry four adult passengers and baggage, but also a stylish car at the same time. Latest trend is to create a four-door coupe, as seen in the Mercedes-Benz CLS, Porsche Panamera, and Lamborghini Estoque 2008.

Compared with the names above, the Rapide is more beautiful and impressive interior with a long body that give the feeling of space. The rear of the car was designed as simple as possible for easy access to load the goods into that section.

Inside the cabin, the Aston Rapide has a touch of nuance that gives the UK with seats clad in leather and made from metal knob settings. Window system and seating arrangements are made in the original Aston but the steering is an adaptation of the Ford Fiesta.

Although the Rapide is relatively low roof, but still a lot of empty space so that the head of the driver and passengers do not stumble. Rear seat is narrower than the front but still in the process convenient for passengers, while the front seats made by RECARO give comfort to expectations.

At low speeds feels that the Rapide would be hard to control with the wanderings of the front wheels. But strangely, the higher you push Rapide, it will be easier to control. At one point feels that the mechanical Aston Martin tried to make alternative chassis settings instead of optimizing the existing chassis. Use Brembo braking system which is guaranteed quality. Strong, responsive, and secure. For cars with a capacity of four passengers, Rapide is a quick and captivating besutan. Glance looks great, but you will not be difficult to park it. Rapide will be launched in April 2010 and given a $ 199,950 price tag.
