2012 Model Year Aston Martin Rapide Luxury Sedan
When Aston Martin decided to make a four door, in tribute to the Lagonda Rapide of the Sixties, they poured their heart and soul into it. The result is a car that, if you don’t notice the rear doors, might lead you into thinking it’s a slightly elongated two-door GT. Built from 2010 to 2020, the Rapide is based on the DB9, and shares many of its features, including that awesome V12 engine. This 2012 Aston Martin Rapide has done just 27,100 miles on its journey to our hands, and the seller reports that the car was fully dealer inspected before purchase. If you’re on the lookout for a fast four seater, this car is a great option that sways away from the mainstream offerings.
The Rapide’s design was led by Mark Reichman, and was basically done by taking a DB9’s design and stretching it to accommodate two extra doors. However, this isn’t as straightforward as it sounds because the proportions would quickly start to look wrong. So, let’s raise a glass to the team who have pulled it off, with this 2012 Aston Martin Rapide in its Black Maroon paintjob as testimony. They’ve done it so well, that you might miss the shutlines of the rear doors from certain angles. Few cars can pull off clear-lensed tail lamps too, and the Rapide is one of them. Rolling on 20-inch multispoke alloys, the yellow brake calipers peeking out from behind hint at its performance potential, if the rather substantial exhausts at the rear don’t do it. Up front, that gaping grill isn’t just for show, but to cool the significant engine that lies just behind it. This is further enhanced by the S-kit front bumper. The interior features Sandstone and Obsidian Black spec, and this is reportedly a Luxury trim-equipped car. As a strict four-seater, you’ve got four heated and ventilated individual bucket seats, electrically adjustable front seats, climate control with vents for rear passengers as well, and an infotainment system with a motorized screen that pops out of the dash when required. The transmission buttons live on the center console, and the signature Aston Martin gauge cluster with anticlockwise-sweeping tachometer greets the driver. There’s also the rear entertainment package, and a 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system. Paddle shifters live behind the steering wheel for manual gear selection at will, and there’s cruise control for relaxed driving.
Aston Martin have a fantastic V12 in the shape of their 6.0L unit that saw service in the DB9, and this 2012 Aston Martin Rapide is blessed with the same powerplant. It sings a beautiful song as the revs rise, and puts out 470hp and 443lb-ft to the rear wheels via a 6-speed ZF Touchtronic II automatic transmission. Zero to hundred is a low-five-second affair, but how many four-door, four-seat passenger cars do you know of that can hit 188mph flat out?
Can you imagine an Aston Martin Vanquish or DB9, but with four doors instead of two? You might banish the thought as mere fantasy, but Aston Martin did turn fantasy into fact with the Rapide. Produced from 2010 to 2020, the Rapide was named after another legendary four-door from Aston Martin’s history, the Lagonda Rapide. Offering a value proposition like no other, the Rapide makes for an interesting family vehicle if you’ve got two kids or less, but want that iconic Aston Martin V12 and driving experience. Sounds like you? If so, contact us and take home this 470-horsepower, 12,192-mile 2010 Aston Martin Rapide that comes with all servicing reportedly up to date. Need we say more? If so, here goes.
Aston Martin, a marque celebrated for its sleek sports cars and cinematic espionage connections, occasionally ventures into the realm of four-door luxury tourers. The Aston Martin Rapide, a modern nod to the DB4-based Lagonda Rapide of the 1960s, stands as a testament to this exploration. Emerging as the brand's first sedan in two decades, the Rapide encapsulates Aston Martin's signature elegance and performance, particularly with its robust 5.9-liter V12 engine. Available for acquisition is a meticulously maintained 2011 Aston Martin Rapide, showcasing choice enhancements and 61,300 miles recorded.
The 2016 Aston Martin Rapide S represents a departure from the brand's traditional two-door sports car image, offering a four-door layout that caters to a wider range of customers, including those seeking a blend of performance and practicality. Named after the historical Lagonda Rapide, this model has been part of Aston Martin's lineup for a decade, providing a unique alternative for those who desire the brand's signature style and performance in a more family-friendly package. With only 38,000 miles on the odometer, this 2016 Aston Martin Rapide S is a prime example of this elegant and capable four-door luxury car.
Aston Martin is widely known for making superspy-worthy sports cars that excite with their suave styling, powerful engines and fine handling capabilities. These cars are great grand tourers too, with luxury interiors and premium materials used. Their DB11 debuted in 2017 and was made until 2023. It’s a superb car to own and drive if you want quintessential British sporting credentials with a healthy dose of star-studded glory. Today, we have a 2017 Aston Martin DB11 Launch Coupe for sale from Liberty Hill, Texas. This limited-edition machine features Brogue detailing and has done just 10,555 miles so far.
Succeeding the popular Aston Martin DB7 wasn’t an easy task, but Aston Martin pulled it off with the DB9 in 2004. In fact, the DB9 was so popular that it ran until 2016. Building on the DB7 in every way, Aston Martin was so confident in the success of their new model that they skipped a number! Actually, Aston Martin did not use DB8 because they thought people would think that their new car came with a V8 -which it didn’t. Nope, a fantastically musical V12 resides in the nose of every single DB9, including this achingly gorgeous 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante that’s for sale right now. Having done over 22,000 miles, this Jacksonville, Florida-based grand tourer is up for new ownership, and if you’re interested, hit us up ASAP.
Perhaps the most iconic way that the Aston Martin Vanquish is introduced to the world is in the James Bond film Die Another Day. In it, Q, played by the sardonic John Cleese presents an empty trolley to Pierce Brosnan as Bond. He says, “Aston Martin call it the Vanquish, we call it the Vanish”. Lo and behold, at the press of a button, a car materializes, seemingly out of thin air. While the whole invisibility thing may seem a bit far fetched, there’s no denying that the Vanquish is a fine sports car and grand tourer to own and drive. Yes, this 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante Carbon Edition may not disappear on cue, but it’s got a host of features, not to mention a sonorous V12 that will certainly make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up every time it revs. Plus, with under 20,000 miles on the clock, it’s virtually brand-new!
