Aston Martin Rapide
The Rapide is England’s response to the Porsche Panamera. Looking every bit like a stretched DB9, this very elegant four-door coupe is propelled by a 6.0L V12 offering no less than 550 horses and 457 lbs.-ft. of torque. A six-speed automatic with manual mode sends all that fury to the rear wheels. Under the classy looks lies a naughty soul, as this large sedan offers not only a “Sport” setting, but also a “Track” mode!
