The flowing elegance of the Rapide’s exterior is carried through to the interior of the car, where high levels of comfort, equipment and quality are matched to a sporting character that focuses both driver and passengers on the road ahead. The forms and materials used in the front cabin environment have been carried through to the rear seats and then onwards to the luggage area at the rear of the car, creating a holistic, one-piece ‘cabin’ that incorporates the entire volume of the car.
An Aston Martin is engineered to sharpen the senses, extracting every grain of texture from the road surface, while providing unrivalled driver feedback and involvement. Yet when conditions preclude spirited driving, an Aston Martin adopts a relaxing, restrained character, its massive reserves of power and torque combining with the uniquely cosseting interior to envelop both driver and passengers in the Aston Martin experience.
From every angle, the Rapide presents a harmonious composition with an intrinsic implication of ability. Aston Martin’s design team works with raw clay models as well as advanced computer modelling, and it is through the feel of real material and physical surfaces that the company’s unique sculptural design language is honed and developed.
Aston Martin set out to create the world’s most beautiful four-door sports car. The result was the Rapide Concept, revealed to the world at the Detroit Auto Show in 2006. That vision has been translated faithfully into the production Rapide. Created by a team headed by Aston Martin Design Director Marek Reichman, the Rapide has been designed to look breathtakingly beautiful from every angle, displaying a purity of proportion and balance that is characteristic of the marque. It is a pure piece of Aston Martin design.
