The Aston Martin Rapide four-door super-saloon has officially been uncovered in this first-look image. With flowing body work and a 6.0-liter V12 doling out 470HP and 442 lb-ft of torque, this is one sexy sedan.The long brewing Rapide resembles the original show car in nearly every way, with modern Aston styling stretched out over a four door platform and a snazzy glass roof up top. Those rear doors open in a novel way, what Aston calls "swan doors," and open like normal doors but swing up for dramatic effect. Judging from the press release, which says rear seats are "for children or two adults on shorter journeys," we're assuming leg room in the back is less than stellar, which makes us wonder what the point of the whole thing is. In any case, the car gets the monster 6.0-liter V12 with 470 HP and 442 lb-ft of torque turning a paddle shifted automatic transmission, which drives the rear wheels.
"for children or adults in short journeys" - then what's the fucking point in this 4-door super-saloon?!
