Aston Martin Rapide

6.0 V12

Making a road trip is one of the adventurers you can undertake with automobile.

That’s exactly what this Aston Martin Rapide is all about driving on long winding roads in the utmost comfort and to spruce up your trip you can enjoy some more spirited driving because of its great chassis set up.

When Aston Martin introduced the DB9 it was such a big step up from the DB7 that they decided it should skip a number. After the introduction it was an immediate success which led to the development of even more prestigious models such as the DBS and Zagato but in our opinion the one that was the biggest leap from the concept was the Rapide. By adding two rear doors and a hatchback in the rear it all of a sudden was a family car for the most distinguished drivers. Can you imagine driving this beautiful car with your family to your holiday destination. The fun will start as soon as you start the 6.0-liter v12 its impressive sound invigorates you more than any good espresso can do.

For the espresso lover it’s not all bad news because this example has been tastefully specced with espresso brown full leather interior. The thick and luscious leather and Alcantara can be found everywhere in the car. No cheap plastics here. Once you are seated in the car you can enjoy your driving whilst listening to your favorite music thanks to the B&O audio with upgraded CarPlay.

Driving the Rapide is something special. It is very well suited for long fast road trips but equally at home in the city. The automatic ZF gearbox shifts smoothly and is a good match with the silky-smooth v12 naturally aspired engine.

If you are looking for a very well maintained low milage example this Aston Martin Rapide should be your new favorite guilty pleasure.
