The New Aston Martin Rapide is a 4-door, high-performance sport saloon, which British luxury marque Aston Martin introduced in early 2010. It was first presented as a concept car at the North American International Auto Show in 2006. The Rapide name is a reference to the Lagonda Rapide, a saloon car produced by Lagonda, now part of Aston Martin. The car is based on an Aston Martin DB9. The base price for the Aston Martin Rapide is $235,800 (USD) and the first cars were rolled out in May 2010.
The Rapide is built at a dedicated plant at the Magna Steyr facility in Graz, Austria. Production began in 2010 and the factory plans to build 2,000 / year. The production version features a full-length glass roof and LED light bars on the rear end, two firsts for Aston Martin. It is the spiritual successor to the Aston Martin Lagonda, the company's previous 4-door saloon, which was discontinued in 1989 - 21 years before the Rapide's launch.
For luxury and convenience, the Rapide's standard features include a tilt-telescoping steering wheel, bi-xenon headlamps and LED taillamps. Leather and walnut trim are standard, with metallic accents; power front seats with memory and heating; Bluetooth; satellite radio; and USB and iPod connectivity. The production version of the Rapide was shown at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. Source by : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aston_Martin_Rapide
