2010 Aston Martin Rapide spotted nearly finished

By Robert Adams on December 18th, 2008

Less than a week ago Aston Martin released the first official images of the new four-door Rapide. These computer generated images were nice, but nothing compares to the real thing. Looks like this Porsche Panamera fighter is almost ready, showing us rear door handles for the first time.

As we have reported earlier Rapide will be powered most likely by a 6.0-liter V12 engine producing around 500 horses, 0-60 mph will be achieved under 5 seconds and the top speed will be above 180 mph.

Production model should debut early next spring and the first cars should be delivered to their lucky owners end of 2009.
