Four-door four-seater from Britain's best-known supercar manufacturer

Good stuff

It’s very gorgeous and very fast and drives beautifully too

Bad stuff

It's only an occasional four-seater

Overview

What is it?

A DB9 which someone held the button on the extrusion machine for too long. The result? A gorgeous five-metre long, four-door Aston Martin, which might add little in the way of real usable space in the rear, but takes up more space parked in Casino Square in Monte Carlo. Unquestionably elegant, the Rapide also possesses the power to match it. It’s now built in Britain which should give the range a fillip – spot these new improved Rapide S models from their Vanquish-style grille and generally more sporting and focused demeanour.

What's the verdict?

It might not add a great deal more space, but it's hard not to love this four-door Aston.
