Spy Video: 2010 Aston Martin Rapide Hits the Nürburgring

[neoconsnightmare3]

the sound of that car accelerating is BEAUTIFUL MUSIC.

[gerfall]

i just came

[OpreaMD]

Porsche Panamera smokes in a corner very nervously since Aston Martin made the "Rapide" model.

[oarih94]

that's one hell of a sedan!

[charvez12]

wanted dbs but i want this now

[eeseofdog]

Masarati199 , you should stick to the quatroporte ! ^^

but i agree => this is the ultimate 5 door car

[mollis123456]

Saw this car (In white) yesterday in denmark

[pakkinen]

it was there again on august 12th

[maserati199]

Screw the Panamera! Get this!

[bokkieno1]

OMG, like WOW, i still think the panamera looks a lot sportier,, although i wish i could have this car!!!!!!! I want a porshe carrera 911 turbo in canary yellow!!!!

[kenzoevolution]

lamborghini should make a 4 door car as well...

[CarKid14]

They have made one,

Lamborghini Estoque, search it up on google.

[Sanpedranoazul]

Try the Estoque, Lambo´s 4 doors sedan

[acharm24]

better than panamera

[tobias770]

made in graz, austria. i saw it yesterday. just a minute but i love that car! awesome!!!

[Demonkiller76]

damn, i want it so badly for free

[maxmays1]

looks like the jaguar xf and the quattrosporte mixed...nicee....wayyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than that uglyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy asss porsche thingy ma jigger

[themunster]

I have an erection.

[dhiraj12378]

man ever since mercedes came out with CLS every body wants to build a four door sports car even V W now

[GathkaWarrior]

wasn't the Maserati Quattroporte out before the cls, or about the same time?

[MomoTiramisu]

yeah... wut about m5 then.... I have to admit that CLS is a good car. but not that good buddy

[Don612Juan]

CLS was definitely the original

[lassdays]

No, i think it was the rover SD1 :D

[lujoebonjo]

ruins the aston martin look, wheres the cool aston martin doors? "best looking aston yet?" my ass

[schlenschi]

Scheiß Spione!

Ihr schadet unserer Firma!

Man verliert so Aufträge!!

grrrr

[Wafflez0rg]

oo i love tht car...

[feedmytube]

i love the looks and it seems vey fast but how many people really need a 500+bhp 4 door car?

[FLASHMAN1973]

when you're spending above $150k for a car, it's never really about need.

[frogeye626]

yeah, looks like a spastic horse

[Ideology252]

In terms of the Porsche thing...Aston has already won with it's looks/ have you seen the porsche?

[oyashiroawesomeness]

does aston really need to worry about porsche? i dun think so. the Aston is waayyy nicer looking. i think porsche could have done a better job with the panamera, but they let themselves down.

i think aston needs to worry about Lamborghini, cause the estoque is amazing.

[chrispdogg]

The Estoque is a piece of sh*t. Audi should just stick with building Lamborghinis with body styles similar to what were built when it was still independent. Otherwise, it would not be according to the brand tradition. If Audi had just gone with making a new Lambo SUV, then everyone would have been happier

[desimunda116]

That has to be the most beautiful song ever

[SeanKAlexander]

How can they say it sounds just like the DB9 AND the V8 Vantage? It certainly sounds like a V-12 to me. Much like a DB9, seeing as they are both V-12s. It sounds NOTHING like the V8 Vantage, which funny enough, sounds just like a V8.

[MI6MI5]

0-62 5.5 secs. Just 0.2 secs faster than the rolls royce phantom but it looks great and probably handles well like all astons do.

[mansonfan88]

Check out the wheelbase on this monster!

[blackghost10sg]

I am going to sell my house then buy this baby, and rent a small condo. lol! I must be crazy, that's my gf left me. lol!

[TownBizness]

Been saving up for while in my C.D Account and planing to Down payment $120,000 ballaz status

[blackghost10sg]

they said that it's going to cost $300k USD? that's more ex than DBS. i don't think so,

[GeneralHog]

Why are porsche and aston martin doing the whole sedna thing? Its stupid..it failed for ferrari and will fail again. They better both at least look good. But whats next? A lamborghini van? A hyndai (sorry forget how to spell it) v10 super car? Maybe porsche can build a tractor and aston can do its next mini van. Sigh...

[wigiwagons]

whats a sedna? and could you post a link to the ferrari ones to i can laugh at the failure? =P

[collegeboi2k7]

astons a luxury car maker, think of it as a fast rolls royce, so it has every right to make a luxury 'sedan', as for porsche.....

[carlherland1]

Porsche have built tractors... Brush up on your automotive history

[ammthizzowner]

guess waht... aston has a waiting list for the rapide and even thought i hate proche.... thier four door sedans are already a success before they came out so your wrong... and for lamborghini... they have the estoque concept...!!!!!!!!! a four door lamborghini.... so yea..... both porche and aston martin are already in succes wit thier cars and so will lamoborghini.... take that.....

[Mtooon]

Well the CTS-V is ugly as fuck, so end of discussion.

[dcengland]

will anyone really care about this car in America since you can have a Caddy CTS-V for alot lot LOT less money?

[WORTY424]

yes, yes they will. Why? Astons drive better than caddy's. period.

[dcengland]

yeah but is that what you are gonna say when a CTS-V pulls up next to you at a stop light and blows your doors off?

[WORTY424]

im gonna say my ride is a sexy english beast and yours is an ugly american peice of crap. euro=fine tuned

[topsecret5]

yes but it doesn't have the class of a aston, or the craftsmanship.

[gino800]

its not as nice inside and outside, AND the engine is smaller, you get what you pay for with this car

[dcengland]

who cares about the size of the engine. the CTS-V has a great new engine thats has 550 horses. thats about what the aston is looking at. plus the CTS-V has already proven its the fastest production sedan in the world right now. i just dont think i would pay so much money for this aston when its twice the money of the CTS-V but not twice the car. it should dominate all cars under it and it doesnt even compete performance wise against cheaper cars.

[Iwanttobestevenfry]

you'd rather have a P.O.S Caddy than an Aston? WTF are you smoking?

[dcengland]

i am not saying that you guys arent getting me. the aston the better car totally thats a given. but its also super expensive. i just dont think you get what you pay for if you buy an aston. you can have faster cars. you can have more reliable cars. you can have cars that almost look as good for alot cheaper. the Caddy was just an example to show how some cars are better than the aston at least in one area. if the aston is going to cost so much is should be better in every way

[Iwanttobestevenfry]

it's all relative I suppose.... Joe Public could never afford an Aston so they go to alternatives.... I'm sure the Caddy (not sure what the UK equivalent would be) does well in your price range (and probably mine too)

*However* if someone is loaded, would they want to drive a car that any other pleb could drive? They buy Astons/Bentleys/Maybach etc instead.

[thatbritishlad]

it does dominate every car under it. its the best looking the most the luxurious the most exclusive the most prestigious and 1 of the most powerful

[dcengland]

i agree it does do all of those things. but its slower on the track at least than the CTS-V so regarding speed and performance its not dominant

[LukeXgamer]

Just piss off, sod your american crap. cts-v - cheap, ugly, too fast, crap handling, understeer - american.

[dcengland]

too fast? TOO FAST!!! grow a pair man. nothing is to fast. in fact everything is tooo slow. in my book. no car is fast. they are all slower than the next fast car.didnt you watch the Top Gear test of the Caddy? they loved the handling. its a 4 door corvette. too fast? really? you said that? you would rather have a slower car? my head just exploded i cant even imagine why anyone would think that.

[blakebac]

You are seriously an idiot if you think it's all about speed! And when he said too fast, i believe he meant too fast for their own good, all engine and nothing else. But yes, vette's do handle petty well, not as good as an Aston for that matter, but it's too fast and dangerous for its handling capabilities. But i would own an Aston ANY day over any vette, lambo, ferrari or even that dreadful Nissan Gt-r.

[chrispdogg]

I agree that drivers should never be satisfied with slower cars because more powerful cars are being made every time. The GTR is not dreadful.

[FLASHMAN1973]

I agree with you on Vettes, except for that new ZR-1... That thing is not only insanely fast, but very driver friendly...

[linange]

awesome

[spade9036]

wow, I thought it was a coupe until they said something. Ive kind of lost my lust for them though, since most Astons's look the same. Kind of like how I no longer lust for the Camaro, and its not even out yet....they played it out. It might as well have been made in 2004.

[AKsProduction]

it needs more of a sedan boot look then a hatch back look.

[p3tr0lh3ad]

this is not allowed its basicly looking at porn LOL HAHAHAHAHA!!

[scotsocool]

Far be it from me to question aston martins desing, and I love the look of all there range but this just seems to look like a stretched DB9 :\ like a linchon town car stretched to be a limo

[Arturaskopytinas]

what did you expect? machine guns on the side of the car?:D

[scotsocool]

course not but I think it looks a bit weird to have a stretched coupe :s

[Arturaskopytinas]

don't look at it like at db9 which is coupe, look at it like at saloon and i think it looks superb.

[scotsocool]

It's probably just some of that camoflage that is putting me off and messing with the lines of the car. And it is leaps and bounds ahead of that hideous panamera! Still a quatraporte (<sp?) fan myself tho.

[Arturaskopytinas]

that maserati is one cool looking car:)

[Sixten77chinaa]

fuck all german people

[hottstuffou]

this is the 2nd vid on this car

[eurotuner88]

I dunt think Porsche is a much of a competition to this. Porsche is butt ugly. Astons are always gorgeous.

[roaringastonmartin]

porsches may not be as nic looking but on an high level compared to the aston i still would buy a porsche:P

[LukeXgamer]

Have you seen porsches new four door? It is soooo ugly.

[roaringastonmartin]

the front is allright but i gotta admit the back is ugly

[barnett682]

yea they went seriously wrong with that, but this is just class!!

[stevz0r]

;love the targa look

[davewhodavedunn]

meh

[112namrepus]

Pretty sweet too! Glass roof 500bhp RWD. Not disguised ether! Maserati here it comes!

[112namrepus]

Great! This means that they are making it for sure now. Testing on the "RING" is always a telling thing.

BTW 1st comment!
