Aston Martin Rapide Test Driven

The German car magazine Auto Bild has had the opportunity to test drive the Aston Martin Rapide sedan. The Aston Martin Rapide was unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in January. The Rapide name is a reference to the Lagonda Rapide, a sedan produced by Lagonda, now part of Aston Martin. The journalist who test drove the vehicle was very impressed with it especially its acceleration (0-100kph in 5.5 seconds) which is can be attributed to its V12 engine. The only thing that disappointed the review was the steering circle. The car is generally expected to be availible next year.

    Aston Martin Rapide will definitely be a luxury coupe. The question is will it be better than the Porsche Panamera and Maserati Quattroporte?

    Dr. Ulrich Bez,

    Tis of this auto to be called a car of such exclusive taste. The sweetness mixed with the bitter and sleek is not only to be looked at but, to driven in heat. Strolling, turmoil’s pumping, such an open road to be driven upon.

    Wherefrom a presence at heart must be driven by the brood, chic, witty, the very best fo our time. The bond’s of the street I say. The one’s who are known by the nobles, who know me.

    “The whole world is still a stage and the sun and the moon are merely the spot lights as for a cloud is surely the curtain and for me I shall make even the stars my audience.” Nathaniel Wenger

    Sincerely,
    Nathaniel Wenger

    This is a sleek and well designed car inside and out. “Sleek”, is the best word for it. John Kovach
