"For on the one hand the Rapide plays the role of supremely refined, smooth-riding luxury car as well as anything in the class if left in its standard set-up. Press the Sport button, however, alongside another button that stiffens the suspension dramatically, and the Rapide suddenly becomes a quite different kind of car – one that feels very close to a full-blown sporting GT.... The most elegant four-door sports car in the world? You bet it is, and then some." – Autocar magazine.
First shown as the Rapide concept at the Detroit Auto Show in 2006, the Aston Martin Rapide was intended from the outset to be 'the world's most beautiful four-door sports car'. Built upon the company's highly acclaimed VH extruded aluminium architecture, the V12-powered Rapide was greeted with universal acclaim by the world's motoring (and design) media. Designed and engineered at Aston Martin's global headquarters at Gaydon, Warwickshire and built at the Aston Martin Rapide Plant in Austria, the Rapide not only exceeded the original aesthetic intentions but was also a thoroughbred performance car, with dynamic abilities honed on the legendary Nürburgring in Germany (where a race-specification Rapide has successfully competed in the annual 24-hour race). Following its introduction in 2009 the Rapide has won numerous awards for its design, quality and dynamic ability.
With 470bhp developed by its hand-built 6.0-litre V12 engine and delivered to the rear wheels courtesy of the Touchtronic 2 automatic gearbox, the Rapide delivered remarkable performance, the factory claiming a 0-100km/h (0-62mph) time of 5.2 seconds and a top speed of 295km/h (183mph). Inside, four adults can be seated in luxurious comfort, with a driver-focused cabin that emphasises the road ahead without forgetting the comforts and conveniences close at hand. And as far as comforts and conveniences is concerned, this particular car has it all. Manufacture of the Rapide ended in 2020, by which time production had been re-established at Gaydon.
Commissioned from Aston Martin by our vendor, the Rapide offered here is one of eight different models forming the Orange Special Limited Edition Collection, all of which are finished in unique Orange No.1 paintwork. Built to Swiss specifications, the car comes with a certificate of authenticity from Aston Martin; a copy of the sales invoice; a (copy) Swiss Carte Grise; and a detailed list of its money-no-object specification. The Rapide has recently benefited from recommissioning by noted marque specialists Stratton Motor Company.

Please note that this vehicle is offered without any original registration documents, bidders should satisfy themselves as to registration requirements in their own jurisdiction. Please contact the department for further information.
