Aston Martin Rapide spotted in Denmark

[ahpadt]

A stretched DB9, yay!

The rear wheels should have been a tiny bit back (in the second pic)

 

[Davetouch]

That is awesome. How could you not want that? I do.

It looks alright...but it's just a long DB9. Aston Martin seem to have no imagination whatsoever - now they one car with 3 options - small, medium, large (and medium sport for the DBS)

Tall, Grande, or Venti for you, sir ~?

^ You forgot Alto

^ You forgot Alto

Why Alto, may I ask ?

Didnt know Starfucks had a Alto on their menu...

I read that this car has a wheelbase longer than that of a S-Class. Pretty long I think!

That's pretty damn much. It doesn't look bad but it does look too long.
I like the design but it still could be a bit shorter.
It's pretty weird that they let it slip like that, I mean there is practically no camo at all.

Alto is from a different chain.

Alto is from a different chain.

Ok let me go ask my best friend Google.

Anyhoo, the car. At least this mule or something is weird. Vantage front, back, and er.. no comments.

Because it looks like Aston has a machine which grabs either end of a DB9 and stretches them until they could add two doors.

It's hideously ugly.

 

[bartboy9891]

Even more boring than expected.

I love it. Porsche Panamera-beater.

Insert cliche unamusing "all Astons look the same" comment here.

Well it worked for Mercedes didn't it?

Not really, it's ugly as sin.

I think that Aston shall not fail.

Only because it's an Aston, not because it's actually a good car.

Come on, people, you can't seriously think this is what it's going to look like. This is obviously a production mule, using a stretched DB9 body so they can test all the running gear for the Rapide without letting people see the styling.

That being said, if it does hit production looking like that, Aston should hang their collective heads in shame and sell themselves back to Ford.

 

[esbenalb]

Looks amazing! Did you spot it?

No I didn?t. I just found it on the homepage for a Danish car magazine.

Translated all it says is that the car was LHD but on English number plates. Also the car was fitted with a roll cage.

nice gt 4 seater... anyone knows a better styled in that class?

 

[Buktu]

I really think it's going to look pretty damn good when they release - just like all Astons do

I think it's brilliant.. The CLS has really started something great imo I really like the CLS, and by the looks of it, the upcoming A7 is going to be incredible looking as well. The Panamera is still up in the air, and this Aston is just the Icing on the cake You're gonna have a hard time choosing a car in that part of the market..

CLS is nicer, but this one is a close second.
If I was rich I wouldn't buy it though, there's no need for a 4-door DB9...
I was expecting something that looks different.
