With every automaker and their cousins coming up with their own take on the four-door coupe concept, the Aston Martin Rapide continues to
sporadically rear its pretty head to show the rest of 'em how it's done.
The concept car, originally unveiled in 2006, cut a striking silhouette, and as the vehicle rumbles
towards production it remains apparent that Aston Martin has no intention of losing any of the show car's pizzazz. The latest batch of spy shots, like
those we've seen up until now, shows
a test mule that retains the concept's glass roof, indicating that it could be a pleasant - though unfortunately top-heavy - standard feature. Speculation is that both V8 and V12 engine options, derived from the Vantage and DB9 respectively, will be offered to better compete with the varied powertrain options available in the
Porsche Panamera. Expect to see the
production Rapide revealed sometime later this year or early in 2010.
