Aston Martin Rapide S

The Aston Martin Rapide is an executive sports saloon car that was produced by the British carmaker Aston Martin between 2010 and 2020. Development of the car commenced in 2005, and after about two months, a concept car, called the Rapide, was completed and displayed at the North American International Auto Show in 2006. In 2009, three years after the concept's unveiling, the production version debuted at the International Motor Show Germany. Official manufacture of the car began on 7 May 2010, at Magna Steyr's facility in Graz, Austria, but production was shifted to Gaydon, Warwickshire, in 2012 after Aston Martin received funding from the British government. Over its production run, the Rapide received two major updates, with the introduction of the Rapide S (pictured) in 2013 and the Rapide AMR in 2018. A battery electric version of the Rapide, called the Rapide E, was introduced in 2018 but Aston Martin announced in 2020 that it would not be series produced. (Full article...)
