Rapide

Underpinning the Rapide is Aston Martin's highly regarded VH (Vertical/Horizontal) architecture, a bonded and extruded aluminium platform that is sufficiently flexible to create a V12-powered four-seater with the strong, flowing proportions that are integral to every Aston Martin.

The production Rapide, has remained remarkably true to the original design concept and has undergone extensive development to ensure it meets the necessary requirements for production. This has included extreme weather testing around the world as well as dynamic performance trials at Aston Martin's new Nürburgring Test Centre. Rapide will be a pure Aston Martin, with the same high levels of performance, handling and dynamics as a V8 Vantage, DB9 or DBS.
