When Aston Martin unveiled the Rapide in 2009, it marked a bold new chapter for the venerable British marque. While four-door Aston Martins were not entirely unprecedented – the Lagonda of the 1970s and 80s being a notable if polarizing example – the Rapide was conceived as a true grand tourer, seamlessly blending the company's iconic sports car aesthetics with genuine rear passenger comfort. Designed to compete in a burgeoning segment of high-performance luxury sedans, it retained the essential Aston Martin DNA: elegant lines, a sonorous V12 engine, and an interior crafted with exquisite materials. The name itself, "Rapide," was a deliberate nod to the Rapide models produced by Lagonda, which Aston Martin acquired in 1947, linking this modern creation to a rich heritage of sophisticated performance. This 2011 Aston Martin Rapide, resplendent in Onyx Black over a striking Red Leather interior, embodies that vision perfectly. With just 21,585 miles on the odometer, its naturally aspirated 5.9L V12 engine, delivering 470 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, is paired with a smooth 6-speed Shiftable Automatic transmission, promising both exhilarating performance and refined cruising. This example is generously equipped, featuring a Bang & Olufsen sound system, heated and ventilated front seats, a rear-seat entertainment system, heated twin rear seats for ultimate passenger comfort, and menacing black 20" wheels that complete its sophisticated aesthetic. This Rapide offers a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained example of Aston Martin's foray into the world of four-door grand touring.
