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?
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.
Do you want an Aston Martin with four doors? If so, you're in luck, as the Rapide fits the bill to a tee. Offering a four-seat, four-door cabin with stunning looks, the Rapide was produced between 2010 and 2020. Some considered it sacrilegious for Aston Martin to produce a four-door, while others found their prayers answered. Either way, this 2012 Aston Martin Rapide is a great way to buy one of the most practical Astons of late. It can even be your family car, and no one will complain. The current owner reports only a skeleton key included in the sale, but the car has a light 34,000 miles on the odometer.
With SUVs dominating the car market nowadays, driving a well-engineered sports car is often viewed as an indulgence. But one could wonder what happens when those 2 were to be combined. The finished product looks a little something like this - an Aston Martin DBX with just 8,500 Miles on the odometer. The DBX has been in production since 2020 and is Aston Martin’s first attempt to get a piece of the SUV cake. And what an attempt it is.
