It’s been more than 20 years since Aston Martin sold a vehicle with four doors – the last was the Aston Martin Lagonda which was discontinued in 1989. Fast forward to 2006 when the famed marque introduced the Rapide concept at the Detroit Auto Show. The car was very well received and for 2011, the Rapide has gone into production. Very little was lost in the translation between concept and production car, and the new Rapide’s arrival is timed well to compete against 4-door offerings from Porsche and Bentley. With a shape similar to the DB9, the Rapide offers luxury surroundings for four passengers as well as impressive performance from its powerful V12 engine.
