From the back I would've said "Ah, an older Rapide." But the front screams the new "DB9". More like the Virage. But it does look better. I've seen the Rapide in person and was already damn impressed with the 2009 I saw. This just makes a truly sexy car look.. well, sportier. And a bit sexier.

I'd wonder if you can see the performance specs on a test-car if you do a license plate check on one of those sites

Thomas William Tuer-sipos Oct 03, 2012
Yeah but the Aston just looks sooo much better, hard to justify the price if your going for performance but for beauty this has it hands down... For me I'd go with a s65!

Wow its magic nothing changed at all but thats astons design fault

John Serely Oct 03, 2012
Best looking 4 door IMO, but I wouldn't want one. For the price, it's not fast enough. Less than 475hp and 5 seconds 0-60? Give me a Maserati Q-GT S...actually, a panamera turbo s would suffice

The fastest car I've been in is a 2012 Audi a6 with 310 hp. That feels pretty fast so having a car with a v12 and 470 hp would probably feel really fast if u actually drove it. It might not look fast on paper but its quicker than most cars on theroad

I'm worried! The old one was perfect and I belive in the saying: "Don't mess with success!" I hope they don't mess it up....

of course you will brock the M5 is performance and speed oriented but thats why they have a RAPIDE-S with 530+hp

While you we're complaining about this Astons performance #'s. All the girls in the room took their panties off and jumped in the Aston. Astons are for looks and sex appeal. Not piss contests for whose car is faster. Aston = Sex... M5 = bro loving..

This is just sad my M5 will smoke this come on Aston step your game up I drive a 2006 M5 and it is 100k cheaper and will own this

Tn brings up a good point, I'm not complaining about 470 hp in a sedan but a V12 that's only pumping out 470 seems like a lot of added weight with no power.
