The Aston Martin Rapide is a sports sedan produced by the British car manufacturer Aston Martin . The name rapide comes from the Lagonda Rapide , a four-door sedan based on the DB4 .
history
The Rapide was presented as a concept car at the North American International Auto Show in 2006. Due to capacity bottlenecks, the 2.5 cm higher series version was manufactured at Magna Steyr in Graz from October 2009 to mid-2012 before production could be relocated to Gaydon , Warwickshire . Aston Martin expects sales of 2000 vehicles per year.
At the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2019, the manufacturer presented the Rapide E, a battery-electric version of the vehicle. It is the first all-electric powered model from Aston Martin.

The Rapide borrows design elements typical of the brand from the DB9 and V12 Vanquish models , on whose shared VH platform it is based. Compared to the DB9, however, the wheelbase has been stretched by 30 cm in order to create space for two more doors and full rear seats. These can be folded over electrically so that a trunk with a capacity of 750 liters is created. The Rapide, which has a basic price of 180,000 euros, only has a normal roof compared to the panorama roof from the concept vehicle.
The hand-assembled V12 engine also comes from the DB9. It develops a maximum output of 350 kW (477 hp) and a maximum torque of 600 Nm, which enables acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.3 seconds and a top speed of 296 km / h. The power is transmitted via a 6-speed automatic transmission.
