In May 2010, Aston Martin opened a new chapter in the history of the company with its Aston Martin Rapide. The car's life began with introduction of the concept car at the 2006 Detroit Auto Show. After the project was approved by the new shareholders of Aston Martin in mid-2007, the skillful designers and engineers made their best to put the project into life. Two years later, in 2009, the production version debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
The Aston Martin Rapide is powered by the hand-built front mid-mounted 6.0L V12 engine. The power unit of the car is designed to produce 470 bhp and to allow for maximum torque of 443 lb.ft. at 5,000 rpm. It takes only 5.2 seconds for the the car to reach 62 mph. The Rapide is equipped with Touchtronic 2 six-speed transmission with electronic shift-by-wire control system. Being a sports car, the Rapide is engineered with the minimal body weight. The light curb weight (4,319 lb) is achieved due to the Aston Martin’s V/H platform made of bonded aluminum. The aerodynamic body is covered with nine coats of paint to ensure durable finish. The four-door sports car is employed with single bi-xenon headlamps with integrated LED side lights, LED rear lamps, direction indicators, and side repeaters. 20” Bridgestone Potenza wheels are included into the standard package of the Aston Martin Rapide accessories. It is the first Aston Martin vehicle to feature dual cast floating brake discs that combine aluminum and iron parts, providing maximum durability and rigidity as well as light weight. Braking efficiency is increased by mono-block design applied to front and rear brake calipers.
The elegant Aston Martin Rapide comes with such safety features as the dynamic stability control, ABS, electronic brake force distribution, traction control, emergency brake assist, hydraulic brake assist, electronic park brake, and positive torque control. The standard package includes cruise control, trip computer, BeoSound audio system with ICEpower technology. Satellite radio system is available for the USA only, while auto-dimming interior rear-view mirror with garage door opener is delivered for the USA and Canada. Full grain leather interior with metallic accents is designed to accommodate four persons. The center console comes with iridium silver external finish and graphite internal finish. A new entertainment option, a 6.5-inch screen, is also available. The LCD screens on the back of front seat headrests are powered by a six-DVD multi-changer fitted in the trunk compartment. Spacious luggage area delivers 317 L of capacity. When the rear seats are folded, the luggage area capacity increases up to 886 L.

A rumor about Aston Martin developing a faster S version of the four-door Rapide was confirmed by its thinly-disguised prototype being caught on the road near the firm's HQ in Gaydon, Warwickshire. While the gorgeous shape of Aston Martin Rapide makes it one of the most favorable sedans on Earth, the model suffers a defeat to its rivals, Porsche Panamera Turbo and Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG, because of its slowness and expensive price. That's why time has come for a more powerful model to appear. The underhood of Aston Martin Rapide S features revised engine from the DBS to upgrade from the DB9-spec of the current Rapide. New engine produces 510 hp, compared to Aston Martin Rapide's 470 hp. In order to cope with extra power, the upcoming model receives standard carbon-ceramic brake discs and revised suspension for better body control.
The sportier model appears with more aggressive exterior due to larger intakes up front and reshaped bumper, plus the distinctive lip spoiler. The deep scoops on both sides are designed to set the Rapide S apart from the standard car.
