The new Aston Martin Rapide, which is going to make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, has been caught by a spy camera. The car uses the company’s standard 6 .0-litre V12 with 470bhp and 443lb ft, and is scheduled to go on sale in early 2010.

In his own words, Simon Gregg, who caught the car on camera, said, ‘I spotted the new Aston Martin Rapide on the M4 Westbound on Friday evening. This new addition from Aston Martin is most certainly going beat the Porsche Panamera in the style stakes! It has the same aggresive look of the Vanquish from the rear and even offers the appearance of being a two-door car, rather than a four-door when viewed from certain angles.

‘The interior boasts a centre console which runs all the way through to the rear seating area - a strict four seater! The facia and interior door panels share the styling found in the current DBS and V8 range. Rear access is via a Vantage-style rear hatch, which will make loading up very easy.’
