2010 Aston Martin Rapide

2010 to 2012 · Sedan

Aston Martin's ambitious four-door grand tourer represented the brand's boldest move into practical luxury territory. The Rapide stretched the DB9's elegant proportions into a proper sedan without sacrificing the visual drama that defines Aston Martin. Under the hood, the naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 delivered 470-550 horsepower depending on the year, paired with a soundtrack that rivals any exotic. Built initially at Magna Steyr in Austria before moving to Gaydon, production remained deliberately limited with roughly 3,000 units over its decade-long run. The Rapide's rear-hinged suicide doors and hand-crafted interior showcase traditional British luxury, while the chassis delivers genuine sports car dynamics despite the added practicality. Today, these represent exceptional value in the Aston Martin hierarchy—offering V12 exclusivity and four-seat versatility at a fraction of their original $200,000+ sticker price. Clean examples are increasingly sought after as the last naturally aspirated V12 four-door from Gaydon.
