Aston Martin Rapide Concept

Here's a few pics of the Aston Martin "Rapide" Concept. The first few are from the Detroit Motor Show. Then there are a few stock photos.

Here are a few additional options:

(1) The optional chess board...




You never know when you might meet Gary Kasparov

(2) The optional "emergency kit" as Aston Martin calls it:

(3) Of course the head rest video (this should be standard. I mean, Geesh).

Ummm, the blonde is not an option..

It will have a V-12 and be approximately the size of the S-Class.

This is what Motor Trend had to say...

The other show-stopper at Detroit is Aston Martin's gorgeous Rapide concept. It looks like a four door DB9 - which is basically what it is. Designer Marek Reichmann basically stretched the DB9 almost a foot to make room for an extra set of doors and rear seats that will comfortably accommodate adult passengers. The Rapide is built on Aston's innovative VH space frame architecture, which currently underpins the current DB9 and the Vantage models and means it is totally production feasible. Aston Martin boss Ulrich Bez says the car could be in Aston showrooms in 36 months. The Rapide is powered by a 480hp version of the DB9's V-12 engine which drives through a six-speed ZF 'Touchtronic' automatic transmission. Carbon brakes, a first for Aston, ensure ultimate stopping power. Among the most interested show-goers swarming over the Rapide after its unveiling were senior Porsche engineers, who are already working on a similar car, the Panamera, due 2010
