2013 Aston Martin Rapide Caught in Pictures

Aston Martin Rapide, the only four-door car at the moment produced by the British marquee, Aston Martin has been in the news for quite sometime now for its revamped version that has got into production. The Aston Martin Rapide was called the successor of the first four-door car of the company, Aston Martin Lagonda, which was phased out long back in 1989.

The 2013 Rapide has been recently caught testing ahead of its launch the next year. Looking at the all new pictures one can figure out that the car has got better front having the lightly sculpted front bumper, whereas the considerably larger spoiler gives it a more man-like look. However, the profiles are going to be the same.

What remains the same is the 6.0-litre V12 engine, but it has been tweaked a little to improve the efficiency. Since the engine is the same, we do expect its acceleration figures of 0-96kmph in 5.2 seconds to be unchanged.

The improved look and a little improved engine will help 2013 Rapide to compete better with its closest competitors including Porsche Panmera and Maserati Quattroporte.
