Forget the low resolution, colorless leaked official pictures of the Aston Martin Rapide. Here’s the real deal – Non-camouflaged close-up shots of the 4-door Aston that debuts at the Frankfurt Motor show next month.
The 4-door Aston is deployed to wipe out the Porsche Panamera and the upcoming Estoque (if it does come) from Lamborghini. Powered by a 470HP 6.0-liter V12 engine delivering about 600Nm torque, the Rapide’s rapid acceleration will get rapider with the new V12 engine in the future sourced from Mercedes Benz.
In what looks like a parking lot of a road side restaurant, a couple of fully disrobed Rapides were photographed, accompanied by another partly camouflaged car.
I’m not sure if the drivers of these cars were bribed. How come they allowed someone to open the doors and pick up some snaps?
Either it was that, or the drivers forgot what they were driving and their duties.
Or they were drunk.
Good for us though. Click on the thumbnails for hi-res images.

Man everytime I see an AM I like it more..
@Dean – it’s gonna keep getting better mate!
Both these Aston Martin’s look great, and the four door is a plus. I think the headlights are a little too large however in my opinion.
@Greg – when you see it live, your opinion would change. I think the Aston Martin Rapide is one of the most stylish cars I’ve ever seen.
