2010 Aston Martin Rapide – A super luxury sports car

If you were to ask the Aston Martin CEO if the Porsche Panamera is a threat to their Rapide, then he’d flat-out deny it. According to the CEO, Ulrich Bez, Rapid is .. “the only four-door sports car in the world,” which makes you wonder what he thinks is the Porsche Panamera then. Either way, the Aston Martine Rapide is around $200,000, which is a lot more than the price tag of the Panamera ($125,000 to $175,000), so maybe they are not even targeting the same demographic.

Bez expects to sell around 2000 to 3000 cars a year, which would amount to around one-third of all their car sales. They sure have high hopes for the Rapid, so these statements from the CEO are not really surprising.

In case you didn’t know, the Aston Martin Rapid has a 470-hp V-12 and six-speed paddle-shifted automatic; with a 0-60 mph time of 5.3 seconds, it sure as hell will take you to its 188-mph top speed in no time.
