Hi-Res Gallery: 2010 Aston Martin Rapide

I present to you Aston’s official gallery of the production Rapide, its long-awaited sedan.  Let’s get this out of the way: it looks like a stretched DB9 with two more doors.  We’ve tired of the DB7-themed design from Aston, though we can’t deny the handsome charm of it.  The Rapide is equipped with a 470 hp 6.0 L V-12 and is expected to demand $240,000 to $260,000.  No, it’s nothing radical, but a hell of a lot easier on the eyes than the dreadful Panamera.
