We've previously seen the Aston Martin Rapide go from concept to development prototypes sporting a glass roof and sitting unclad at a gas station. But the Jaguar connected folks at CAR magazine got their hands on an official computer generated rendering showing the Rapide in production trim. There are more images in their possession but of course you'll have to wait until the next issue hits news stands.
Overall, the design remains intact with only minor changes. Gone are the frotn bumper two lower outer air intakes seen on the concept in favor of just upper and lower grilles. Along the side is a new character line and the rear bumper and boot have been revised.
Starting at £130,000 (€150,000) the Rapide will be unveiled in early 2009, most likely Geneva, press launch in autumn and first deliveries to customers in early 2010.

My 4 door coupe list would be 1.Estoque 2.Rapide 3.Karma ......Panamera
Actually, I'd rather see luxury brands, like Bentley, getting into 'four door coupe' territory than watching real sportcar makers sticking an extra set of doors on their cars.
Yeah... a Bentley four door coupe would be just sweet!
IT'S NOT MINE!!
Everything else - PERFECT!
1. When auto makers release "concepts" that basically is a non-road legal version of the car. (case in point, Acura TL, Merc GLK, BMW X6...)
2. It's an Aston Martin. Do they make anything besides sexy cars? NO.
