Hello, Gorgeous! A fully uncloaked Aston Martin Rapide was just caught on the road in the UK by a CAR Online reader months prior to its official unveiling at the Frankfurt motor show in September. The svelte four door genuinely translates Aston Martin’s design language into super sedan shape. Apparently the interior is no less [...]
Aston Martin has finally let loose a volley of photos of its sleek supersaloon. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’d take a Rapide over a Panamera any day of the week. No word on when we can expect to see this beauty on the streets, but expect a 6.0-liter V12 with [...]
It looks like the supersaloon fight just got a lot less interesting. According to a report in Autocar, Lamborghini R&D guru Maurizio Reggiani has said the four-door bull is dead in the water. Reggiani had previously said the sedan could be ready as soon as 2011, but it seems the higher ups couldn’t see much [...]
By now you’ve probably heard all about Aston Martin’s Lagonda ute. Feel free to take my stony silence on the rig as an indictment. Four passenger? Sure. V12? Absolutely. Sport Utility? I’m sorry, the correct answer was low-slung Grand Tourer. Thanks for playing. I’m done, promise.
Right, so these aren’t actually “pictures” — they’re renderings. Meaning really good looking computer images of what Autocar.co.uk thinks the upcoming Rapide supersaloon will look like. They are claiming the above images were “released” early by Astin Martin. Of course, why would Aston Martin release these two computerized drawings to only Autocar? Right, they wouldn’t. [...]
I. The FIA decided not to count the Hail Baja Rally in Saudi Arabia for championship points because event organizers refused to allow a woman to drive in the event. According to the Saudi Arabian Motor Federation, they’re not willing to bend, break, or question the law of the land and, as such, cannot let [...]
We can’t show you the pictures here, but if you were to say click on over to World Car Fans, you’d get a look at a silver Rapide dashing through the snow. The silver (re: lighter) color is an important spy shot milestone because not only can you more clearly make out exactly the size [...]
That’s right. Keen-eyed Fiends over at MotorAuthority have pulled down a handful of shots of what looks to be a near-production version of the supersaloon. I’ve got to say this sucker looks a hell of a lot better than the Porsche Panamera. The rear of the Rapide looks a little pinched in my eyes, but [...]
The Porsche Panamera has stolen the supersaloon spotlight recently with its slurry of photos, but Aston Martin’s not one to go unnoticed in a competition. The company just let lose a rendering of the rear of the production Rapide four-door supercar. The hottest thing about the Rapide so far has to be that dramatic rear [...]
That’s what CAR is claiming. The shot you see above is supposedly the first official view of Aston Martin’s supersaloon. The computer-rendered image doesn’t reveal too much, especially with the heavy watermarking, but a few elements stick out. The louvered hood gives the car a little taste of the One-77, and while we doubt the [...]
